People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine.
Interpretation
Setting clear and written goals significantly enhances productivity and achievement.
This quote by Brian Tracy emphasizes the importance of having clearly defined and documented goals. It suggests that individuals who take the time to articulate their objectives are more likely to achieve significant accomplishments in less time compared to those who operate without such clarity and focus. The underlying premise is that goal-setting serves as a powerful motivational tool, guiding actions and decision-making toward desired outcomes.
In practice
In a motivational speech at a corporate meeting, one might say, 'As Brian Tracy reminds us, people with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter time.'

Sweat equity is the best equity.
I want to be remembered as part of the group of the greatest players ever.
If you are ambitious of climbing up to the difficult, and in a manner inaccessible, summit of the Temple of Fame, your surest way is to leave on one hand the narrow path of Poetry, and follow the narrower track of Knight-Errantry, which in a trice may raise you to an imperial throne.
