This is the most powerful method discovered by Brian Tracy, He teaches it to all over the world and I practice it myself everyday. Sir Brian calls it “Ten Goal Exercise” which is a powerful technique designed to help individuals clarify their objectives, prioritize their aspirations, and create a focused plan for achievement. Here's a breakdown of the exercise:

  1. Setting Goals 🥅 : Begin by taking out a clean sheet of paper and writing down ten goals you would like to accomplish within the next 12 months. These goals should cover various aspects of your life, including family, finances, fitness, and personal possessions. The emphasis is on quantity rather than quality at this stage, so don't worry about how realistic or achievable they may seem.

Goals: [Today's Date]


  1. Goal Selection 🥍 : After listing your goals, take a moment to consider which one goal would have the most significant impact on improving your life. This could be the goal that aligns most closely with your values, desires, or long-term aspirations. Additionally, identify which goal, if achieved, would contribute the most to accomplishing your other goals. This goal becomes your major definite purpose – your primary focus for the upcoming year.

Goal Selection:

🪄 Imagine you can achieve one goal by waving a “magic wand”.

Which one goal will change or improve your life more than anything else?

[Write your chosen goal here]

🎯 Which one goal, if you achieve it, will help you accomplish more of your other goals than anything else?

[Write your chosen goal here]


Major Definite Purpose: Now, this goal becomes your major definite purpose, your focal point and the organizing principle of your future activities.


  1. Making a Plan: Once you've selected your major definite purpose, it's time to create a plan of action. Clearly define your chosen goal, make it measurable, and set a deadline for its achievement. Break down the goal into smaller, actionable steps, and identify the next logical step to take. Commit to working on this goal every day until it is accomplished, and resolve to persevere in the face of challenges or setbacks.

⚒️ Make a Plan:

  1. Goal Description: [Describe your goal clearly and specifically]
  2. Measurable Criteria: [How will you measure your progress towards this goal?]
