How to Set Goals: 80/20 Rule for Goal Setting | Brian Tracy

yes, I used to care more about status, fame, 'success', impressing people etc., then i did 80/20 and found over 80% (~87%) of my wellbeing, satisfaction, and pleasure came from my relationship with my mom (2-7% effort) i.e. just talking with her, investing a *bit, saying 'i love you', doing a *little for her... and the other things were a *lot of effort for little payoff next to her awesomeness and how i felt/feel around her (contrary to society/the world: 'fame', 'success', 'world class', etc.) :p

I know the recipe for success. My husband was a motivational speaker in the 80’s & 90’s. He got very sick. I lost my entire compass & became a huge procrastinator. Dear Lord, I am back on it today! He is not going to get well, but I am NOT going to fall into a dark hole. I choose to move forward & live even better!

I've been listening to you for over 20 years now and I just want to say Thank you. Your ability to teach in a concise manner makes you one of the best ever. I love how you are able to take a simple concept, break it down and make it immediately relevant to the student. The why, the what and the how is all there. Once again, THANK YOU!

Yes since i watched your time management video, i am now writing my daily task in my planner & applying 80-20 principle to achieve the most important 20 %, , its almost 12 months since i am following it & i think now i am more effective & output oriented and i got recognized in my company.Thanks Brian.

Great video. I've known about and heard much of the 80/20 rule but this makes it simple, clear, and concise. Thank you

Heard about it lots before but now I understand it, thank you so much. You are a blessing

THANK YOU BRIAN! EXCITED TOH HEAR YOU SPEAK THIS WEEKEND!

Heard him for the first time. I listened his name many times. This is the first time I watched him. So soft spoken ❤

Thank you so much Brian for all of your videos, that are always so helpful and informative.

The best video I've seen on this subject. Not only well explained but sets clear goals on how to achieve it.

Brian, before this video I was aware of the 80/20 rule but was not applying it to my daily activities. For this I have experienced much unnecessary frustration when trying to meet daily and life goals. This video has helped my realize the importance of focusing on the big goals in life rather than the small one. Thanks for sharing Brian!

This was so helpful. I was able to break up my short-term and long term goals. 2 of my most important short term goals, 2 of my top longterm goals. I put them on a color coded chart in my office. This has really helped thanks Brian.

Hi Brian, I had a lot of stress before watching your videos. I feel so much better now - just what I needed. Thank you!

Hello Brian Tracy! You really inspire me a lot. I've been struggling lately because I was not able to graduate on time. My parents and friends were really disappointed. Because of that I always think that I am a big failure.I felt insecure every time someone will ask me if I have already graduated. I just come upon your video in YouTube after searching some motivation and goal setting vids. I haven't met you yet but you really empower me. :)

I decided a while ago that my most important goals, which I guess is really one, was praying. As you mentioned in a comment, these may be considered action steps. Now it is more a habit than a goal. I am doing more of it than I planned and am happy with my progress. I pray daily and several times a day. Other goals I made can't necessarily be done now, as they involve missions overseas and my health is not up to it. Now working on the languages I'm learning maybe has become my second goal? However, the 80/20 rule seems to apply to this: I don't learn languages everyday anymore but focus on what's most important when I do. I know as a missionary, and one who is being converted into, eventually, a full-time missionary, prayer is my most important activity as it was with Jesus...not Bible-reading, not preaching, not language-learning, but prayer. I will try to keep these goals WHAT I DO ALL THE TIME: Everything else will fit in somewhere. Now I'd like to work on the action-steps to see what prayers I need to pray. Obviously most people think this is a colossal waste of time, but as with great people, I'm not overly concerned about what the "hip" group thinks!

For organizing your whole work, 80/20 is best in terms of time management. Thanks, Mr. Trecy

Thanks, Brian. It was a real treat to listen to what you had to say. I'm, at the age of 44, a first-time business owner. I'm so new into my venture but have been thinking about it for 10 years if I can be honest. I started it 18 months ago and it is the main reason for my getting out of bed. Everything I do, is in some way, related to my business goal and I have achieved so much. I even have a business partner who believed so much in my idea he wanted to be a part of it. I found myself doing a few things you mentioned which makes me feel really good, but definitely a few things I should be doing too. Anyway, great video, and thank you!

I've been using this principle it has made drastic change in my life, thank you sir 👍👍👍

This video is like a prayer for me everyday when i wake up. It reminds me what I should be doing. Thanks Brian.
