Let’s take a ride on Mr. Peabody’s Wayback Machine (any audience members remember Mr. Peabody?) and go back to those great, inspirational, indispensable thought leaders from the ‘80s and ‘90s. Zig Ziglar, Dennis Waitley, and, in this case, Brian Tracy were unbelievably popular in those days – well before the internet – due to their public appearances, books, and cassette recordings. While you might think it trite and corny to hear that Wayne eagerly consumed these cassettes as he motored throughout the Carolinas and Virginia, they were instrumental in shaping his worldview as well as the business and personal philosophies of millions of other business people around the world.
This week, Wayne will quickly review 14 of Brian Tracy’s life and work tips. Please let us know what you think: who are/were your greatest influencers when you were in your formative years? Share with us in the comments. And please have a safe and happy Christmas and New Year holiday!

Great timeless advice. Dr Norman Vincent Peale and The Power of Positive Thinking was my most listened to cassette! Thanks for your message.

Yes, Brian. I loved Dr. Peale too!
