Reference from Brian Tracy
Many of you know that my favorite business guru is Brian Tracy.
Brian is a world famous speaker, author and business coach. I have learned an incredible number of proven, practical techniques from his books that have helped me to do more and achieve more in business and in life. Brian’s books are easy to understand because he writes simply and practically. My favorite books of his are Goals, Eat That Frog and The Art of Closing the Sale.
