 A quick digest for inspired reading February 28, 2006
I work for a book summary company. One of the books selected for summary is this book.
Brian Tracy does what he is famous at doing: Giving yet another dose of proven strategies to attain success in life and business. Although the parallel between war and business tactics is quite a familiar subject, Brian Tracy manages to bring in some fresh look into it by giving clear illustrations. He takes us through the 12 steps by first detailing a war or battle and the principle employed by the leader that yielded results and rounds off by explaining the principle and how it can be applied for business and personal accomplishments. The book provides vivid details of the war or the battle and the accompanying principle, which does help in capturing the essence of the principle effectively. Some of the strategies appear rather simplistic. Nevertheless, like the constant drone on `being positive' advocated by Norman Vincent Peale, Brian Tracy never tires out to come out with some inspiring strategies for success at every turn. And he should know because he is a turn-around specialist who has established million-dollar companies for himself. It is indeed a quick digest for some inspired reading.
 Business is war -Tracy shows you how to win the battle December 25, 2005
Business is tougher today than ever before. More competition. More products. More companies. In this great work by Brian Tracy, you will learn how to stay ahead of your competition and win.
Tracy has consulted with more than 500 companies. He is the master of creating a successful business and is also a master at turning around failing businesses. His methods work. If you are in business, I cannot recommend this book enough. Also suggest TurboStrategy by Brian Tracy.
Practical, relevant material for improving your life... November 6, 2004

In the personal improvement genre, I recently finished Victory! by Brian Tracy. Not a bad read, and it has some pretty good ideas to improve your effectiveness in life.
The book consists of a number of "principles" that are pulled from military commanders and strategy. There are titles such as "The Principle of the Objective - Clarity Is Essential" and "The Principle of the Mass - Concentrate Your Power". The first part of each chapter starts with an illustration from a famous war or battle, and shows how a leader's decision based on that principle made a difference. An explanation of the principle is followed by how it relates to company effectiveness, and finally the principle is applied to your personal life. Since the book relies on military strategy, there are numerous examples and philosophies scattered throughout that tie back to generals and wars.
I've always liked Brian Tracy's writings. He is able to distill down ideas and concepts into practical steps you can take to become more effective. If you've read any number of personal improvement books, you'll see many ideas here that you've seen in other places. You may not have viewed them in light of military strategy, so that could lead to some additional insights. If this is your first exposure to self-improvement literature, you'll come away with a number of ideas that, once implemented, will cause you to become more successful in your personal life. And the book isn't written such that you have to do everything here or it doesn't work. Even the successful implementation of a single idea, like simplification of your personal life, can yield tremendous benefits.
If you're looking to break out of a rut or try some new ideas to become more successful, this book will definitely help you get there...

Nobody knows more about building or turning around a business than Brian Tracy. He has successfully created million dollar companies for himself as well as turned around many business. This book deals with military strategies as applied to business. Today, you can't just be good, you have to go beyond that just to keep up with your competition. Brian shows you how.Great book for all business and management people.
Outstanding! For business and for fun June 25, 2004

There are many business books and many self help books. Even the author had written many of the same kind himself. However, this one is truly outstanding and fascinating. The combination of war/battle histories with business/self development concepts bring life and glamour into the book. The ancedotes really help readers like me to better understand and bear in mind the twelve principles (in twelve chapters) the author elaborates. In short, a must buy for frequent business/self help book readers. I assure you that you can re-read it several times in the future with the same passionate interest. p.s. For your fast reference, I would like to copy and paste the title of the twelve chapters/principles here (as available in the content page). Ch 1 P of the Objective: Clarity is essential
Ch 2 P of the Offensive: Dare to go forward
Ch 3 P of the Mass: Concentrate your powers
Ch 4 P of Maneuver: Remain flexible at all times
Ch 5 P of Intelligence: Get the facts
Ch 6 P of Concerted Action: Coordinate your activities
Ch 7 P of Unity of Command: One person in charge
Ch 8 P of Simplicity: Take the direct approach
Ch 9 P of Security: Cover all your bases
Ch 10 P of Economy: Conserve your resources
Ch 11 P of Surprise: Do the unexpected
Ch 12 P of Exploitation: Follow up and follow through
