Focal point : a proven system to simplify your life, double your productivity, and achieve all your goals : advance excerpt

I thought I would get "A proven system to simplify my life, double my productivity, and achieve all my goals". But there was not such a system available in the book. What there was was a bunch of platitudes and anecdotes with a few good ideas thrown in for good measure. There was no discernible structure to this book, nor did I know what I should do once I finished the book... Brian Tracy is a great motivator, but he's not great at creating actionable content.
