| 0:00.0 | The ability to focus is the absolute critical requirement for success, and that is the quote of the day. |
| 0:30.0 | Welcome back to the quote of the day show. I'm your host, Sean Croxon of Sean Croxon.com. |
| 0:40.7 | Thanks so much for tuning in. Once again, to our Tuesday episode of the quote of the day, |
| 0:45.3 | our featured speaker is Brian Tracy, who's one of the greatest speakers of all time in an author |
| 0:50.7 | of so many books. And in today's clip, he talks about the seven personal qualities that assure |

| 1:48.2 | falling behind. So the master key to riches is self-discipline. What are the seven personal qualities |
| 1:54.1 | that assure success in business? Number one, you must know yourself and know exactly what it is you |
| 2:01.5 | want in life. Goal orientation is an essential requirement of all successful people. And as we'll |
| 2:07.7 | talk about later, we know lack of goal orientation goes hand in hand with failure in every single |
| 2:12.4 | lock of life. Somebody should be able to wake you up at three o'clock in the morning and ask you, |
| 2:16.2 | what is your major definite purpose in life? What is your number one goal? What do you want to accomplish |
| 2:19.5 | more than anything else in the next three to five years? And you should be able to wake up out of a |
