It's Not About Success, It's About Progress.

Just Remember, Loss Is Imaginary. Nothing Ever Disappears In The Universe; It Only Changes Form. If There Is Something That Still Wounds You, It's Because Of The Meaning That You Have Linked To It. Maybe What You Need To Do Is To Have Faith And Say, 'even Though I Don't Know Why This Has Happened, I Am Willing To Trust. Someday, When The Time Is Right, I Will Understand.'

Remember: Rewards Come In Action, Not In Discussion.

There Is No Breakthrough Without A Breakdown.

In Order To Be Happy, Human Beings Must Feel They Are Continuing To Grow. Clearly, We Must Adopt The Concept Of Continuous Improvement As A Daily Principle.

People Always Try To Be Perfect. That's Why They Don't Start Anything. Perfection Is The Lowest Standard In The World. Because If You're Trying To Be Perfect, You Know You Can't Be. So What You Really Have Is A Standard You Can Never Achieve. You Want To Be Outstanding, Not Perfect.

Decision Equals Destiny.

Thinking About You

Take Control Of Your Consistent Emotions And Begin To Consciously And Deliberately Reshape Your Daily Experience Of Life.

It's Important To Realize That Words Shape Our Beliefs And Impact Our Actions.

Let's Face It, We're Not About To Earn Our Way To Wealth. That's A Mistake Millions Of Americans Make. We Think That If We Work Harder, Smarter, Longer, We'll Achieve Our Financial Dreams, But Our Paycheck Alone-no Matter How Big-isn't The Answer.

I Was Working As Hard As A Human Being Could Work. That Tempo Hasn't Changed. I Just Have More Diversity And More Companies, And Now I've Got 33 Companies So My Dance Card Is Full. Four Kids And Three Grandkids, But I Love That Passionate Lifestyle. I Love Constantly Growing, I Love Seeing And Feeling That You Can Have An Impact. And Gradually It Went From Just Coaching To Actually Running Businesses Because I've Had Experiences That Were Life Changing.

Doing Nothing Makes Us Crazy. But Freedom Comes When You Don't Have To Work.

Individuals Who Succeed Have A Belief In The Power Of Commitment. If There's A Single Belief That Seems Almost Inseparable From Success, It's That There's No Great Success Without Commitment. If You Look At Successful People In Any Field, You'll Find They're Not Necessarily The Best And The Brightest, The Fastest And The Strongest. You'll Find They're The Ones With The Most Commitment.

Lessons To Be Learned

I Learned To Park Outside Of Denny's Because It's 24 Hours. I Made A Deal At A 7-eleven With A Mailman So I Could Get My Mail Delivered There.

I Think All People's Lives Are Controlled By Their Decisions. You Look At People's Lives - It's Not Their Conditions, It's Their Decisions. So Everybody Has A Choice And Every Moment In Your Life You're Making Decisions.

What We Focus On Determines How We Feel. And How We Feel - Our State Of Mind - Powerfully Influences Our Actions And Interactions.

If There Is Any One Skill That Every Professional Must Learn, It Is How To Brand Himself Or Herself In The Marketplace. A Brand Provides Certainty To Customers And Lets Them Know That What They`re Getting Is The Best. People Don`t Like To Make Decisions. Once We Decide, For Example, The Kind Of Toothpaste We Prefer, Rarely Do We Change. We Have To Make So Many Decisions Every Day In Our Lives That Most Of Us Are Overwhelmed.

Any Time You Sincerely Want To Make A Change, The First Thing You Must Do Is To Raise Your Standards. When People Ask Me What Really Changed My Life Eight Years Ago, I Tell Them That Absolutely The Most Important Thin Was Changing What I Demanded Of Myself.

Where The World Is Going And What Technology Is Leading Us To In Terms Of The Evolution Of Humanity Is An Incredibly Valuable Thing To Understand.

I Believe Life Is Constantly Testing Us For Our Level Of Commitment, And Life's Greatest Rewards Are Reserved For Those Who Demonstrate A Never-ending Commitment To Act Until They Achieve. This Level Of Resolve Can Move Mountains, But It Must Be Constant And Consistent. As Simplistic As This May Sound, It Is Still The Common Denominator Separating Those Who Live Their Dreams From Those Who Live In Regret.

How Am I Going To Live Today In Order To Create The Tomorrow I'm Committed To?

What Kind Of Person Will I Have To Become In Order To Achieve All That I Want?

Understand That All Emotions Serve You. Those You Once Thought Of As Negative Emotions Are Merely Calls To Action. For Example, If You Feel Frustrated It Means That You Believe Things Could Be Better, And They're Not. This Is A Call To Action Telling You There's Something You Must Do To Make This Better Now. This "negative" Emotion Is Actually A Gift If You Use It Effectively.

Connection And Love: We All Want It. Most People Settle For Connection Because Love's Too Scary.

I Always Believe Leaders Are Readers, So You've Got To Read 30 Minutes A Day Of Something That's Going To Inspire You.

Your Philosophy Of Life Shapes You More Than Anything Else

Life Philosophy

If You Don't Make A Conscious Effort To Control Your Focus-and Decide In Advance Which Things You're Going To Focus On-you'll Be So Pulled By The Demands Of The World That You Will Soon Find Yourself Living In Reaction Rather Than Living A Life Plan You've Designed For Yourself.

Finding Yourself

One Way To Develop Faith And Confidence Is Simply To Practice Using It. If I Were To Ask You Whether You're Confident That You Can Tie Your Own Shoes, I'm Sure You Could Tell Me With Perfect Confidence That You Can. Why? Only Because You've Done It Thousands Of Times! So Practice Confidence By Using It Consistently, And You'll Be Amazed At The Dividends It Reaps In Every Area Of Your Life.

What Is An Extraordinary Life? A Life Of Meaning, A Magnificent Life, A Life Of Joy, Happiness, Love, Passion, Success, And Fulfillment. Life Experienced On Your Terms.

Most Of Us Make Unconscious Choices In The Words That We Use; We Sleep-walk Through The Maze Of Possibilities Available To Us.

Smile. It Creates Positive Physiological Change.

I Also Remember The Moment My Life Changed, The Moment I Finally Said, "i've Had It!" I Know I'm Much More Than I'm Demonstrating Mentally, Emotionally, And Physically In My Life. I Made A Decision In That Moment Which Was To Alter My Life Forever. I Decided To Change Virtually Every Aspect Of My Life. I Decided I Would Never Again Settle For Less That I Can Be.

You're Already A Financial Trader. You Might Not Think Of It In Just This Way, But If You Work For A Living, You're Trading Your Time For Money. Frankly, It's Just About The Worst Trade You Can Make. Why? You Can Always Get More Money, But You Can't Get More Time.

Commit To "can I!" - Constant And Never-ending Improvement.

Self Improvement

Repetition Is The Mother Of Skill.

Persistence Overshadows Even Talent As The Most Valuable Resource Shaping The Quality Of Life.

Don't Be Afraid Of New Ideas. Be Afraid Of Old Ideas. They Keep You Where You Are And Stop You From Growing And Moving Forward. Concentrate On Where You Want To Go, Not On What You Fear.

The Past Doesn't Equal The Future. All Great Leaders, All People Who Have Achieved In Any Area Of Life, Know The Power Of Continuously Pursuing Their Vision, Even If All The Details Of How To Achieve It Aren't Yet Available

Most People Never Feel Secure Because They Are Always Worried That They Will Lose Their Job, Lose The Money They Already Have, Lose Their Spouse, Lose Their Health, And So On. The Only True Security In Life Comes From Knowing That Every Single Day You Are Improving Yourself In Some Way, That You Are Increasing The Caliber Of Who You Are And That You Are Valuable To Your Company, Your Friends, And Your Family.

Make Your Goal To Do A Tremendous Amount To Improve Your Audience's Lives.

A Genuine Quality Of Life Comes From Consistent, Quality Questions.

Quality Of Life

Energy Is Not Only The Basis Of Our Existence, It Is The Fuel That Makes Everything In Our Lives Real And Possible.

I Have No Delusions That I'm The Only Source Of Improving People's Lives Or That I'm Even The Right Source. My Style Is Intense, And It's Not Going To Be Right For Everybody.

The Most Powerful Force In The Human Psyche Is People's Need For Their Words And Actions To Stay Consistent With Their Identity - How We Define Ourselves.

Most People Aren't Really Happy, But They Aren't Unhappy Enough To Do Anything About It. That's A Dangerous Place To Be.

All Successful People Learn That Success Is Buried On The Other Side Of Frustration.

One Reason So Few Of Us Achieve What We Truly Want Is That We Never Direct Our Focus; We Never Concentrate Our Power. Most People Dabble Their Way Through Life, Never Deciding To Master Anything In Particular.

The Only Real Security In Life Comes From Knowing That Every Single Day You Are Improving Yourself In Some Way.

You Must Learn How To Handle Rejection. To Succeed, You Must Learn How To Cope With A Little Word 'no', Learn How To Strip That Rejection Of All Its Power. The Best Salesmen Are Those Who Are Rejected Most. They Are The Ones Who Can Take Any 'no' And Use It As A Prod To Go Onto The Next 'yes'.

Once You Have Mastered Time, You Will Understand How True It Is That Most People Overestimate What They Can Accomplish In A Year - And Underestimate What They Can Achieve In A Decade!

I Have Dedicated My Time Here On Earth To Find The Tools That Can Help Each Of Us Experience An Extraordinary Quality Of Life. I Do Believe That Such A Life Can Only Be Found By Living One's True Passion. Without Passion, An Individual Gets Caught In The Trap Of Making A Living Instead Of Designing A Life. When We Fall Into The Trap Of Getting Up Each Day To Reenact An "ordinary" Existence, We Find Ourselves At A Level That Is Merely One Of Survival.

The Most Important Thing You Can Do To Achieve Your Goals Is To Make Sure That As Soon As You Set Them You Immediately Begin To Create Momentum.

Happiness And Success In Life Are Not The Result Of What We Have, But Rather Of How We Live. What We Do With The Things We Have Makes The Biggest Difference In The Quality Of Life.

Happiness And Success

I Naturally End Up Looking For Things To Be Grateful For. It Doesn't Mean I Don't Sometimes Feel Angry Or Fearful But Because I'm Wired For Positive Emotions, Net, I End Up Treating Others And Myself Better.

Treating Others

Passion Is The Genesis Of Genius.

You See, It's Never The Environment; It's Never The Events Of Our Lives, But The Meaning We Attach To The Events - How We Interpret Them - That Shapes Who We Are Today And Who We'll Become Tomorrow.

The Birth Of Excellence Begins With Our Awareness That Our Beliefs Are A Choice. We Usually Don't Think Of It That Way, But Belief Can Be A Conscious Choice. You Can Choose Beliefs That Limit You, Or You Can Choose Beliefs That Support You. The Trick Is To Choose The Beliefs That Are Conducive To Success And The Results You Want And To Discard The Ones That Hold You Back.

The Only Thing Keeping You From What You Want Is Your Story About Why You Can't Have It.

The Secret Of Success Is Learning How To Use Pain And Pleasure Instead Of Having Pain And Pleasure Use You. If You Do That, You're In Control Of Your Life. If You Don't, Life Controls You.

I Don't Fix Anybody, Because I Don't Think Anybody's Broken. I Think What People Have Are Patterns, And Those Can Be Changed. People Quickly Understand That What's Controlling Their Thoughts And Emotions Are Their Values And Rules, And They Learn How To Shift Those.

If You Want To Look For Obstacles, What's Wrong Is Always Available. But So Is What's Right!

You Can Get Connections In Lots Of Ways. You Can Get It By A Friendship. You Can Get It By A Dog. You Can Get It By A Child. You Can Get It By Being Attached To A Cause. You Can Get It By Having Huge Problems And Sharing Those Problems With Other People.

I Do Believe I Am Special. My Special Gift Is My Vision, My Commitment, And My Willingness To Do Whatever It Takes.

If You Add The Value, You Will Become The Brand. Find A Way To Add More Value Than Anyone Else Does

Self Improvement

If You Find Yourself Saying 'i Can't Do Something', But You Know It In Your Heart Of Hearts That If You Do It, You're Going To Grow, You're Going To Be A Better Person, It's Going To Contribute To Your Family Or To Your Kids Or To Something That Matters, And You Keep Saying 'i Can't Do It,' There Is No Question—you Must Do It. You Don't Discuss It Anymore. You Just Take Immediate Action... You Do What's Necessary.

Finding Yourself

But To Me The Notion That Spirituality Is Separate From The Rest Of Life Does Not Allow For A Practical Approach To Living A Life That Has Extraordinary Quality.

Everybody's Life Is Either A Warning Or An Example. You've Got To Decide What You're Gonna Be And You Have To Draw A Line In The Sand.

Identity Is This Incredible Invisible Force That Controls Your Whole Life. It's Invisible, Like Gravity Is Invisible, But It Controls Your Whole Life.

To Create An Extraordinary Quality Of Life, You Must Create A Vision That's Not Only Obtainable, But That Is Sustainable.

Quality Of Life

Determination And Persistence Are Melded Together. Their Basis Comes From People Who Stay Hungry And Don`t Allow Themselves To Get Too Comfortable. Entering A Comfort Zone Is The Fastest Way To Kill Your Drive And Determination, At Which Point You Begin To Accept Whatever You Have As Being "good Enough." There Is No Self-esteem In Accepting The Status Quo. There Are Tremendous Emotional And Psychological Rewards That Come With Pushing Yourself To Break Through Past Limits And, In The Process, Creating Something Of Value For Yourself And Others.

If We Don't See A Failure As A Challenge To Modify Our Approach, But Rather As A Problem With Ourselves, As A Personality Defect, We Will Immediately Feel Overwhelmed.

My Personal Belief Is That The Only Thing Keeping You From Freedom Is All The Beliefs You Have About What Has To Happen Before You Can Be There.

Personal Beliefs

When It Seems Impossible Like Nothing Is Going To Work, You Are Usually Just A Few Millimeters Away From Making It Happen.

I Have An Outline But Never Use A Teleprompter. That Kills The Connection.

Belief In Limits Creates Limited People

Most Individuals Work Much Harder To Hang On To What They Have Than To Take The Necessary Risk To Shoot For Their Dreams.

Using The Power Of Decision Gives You The Capacity To Get Past Any Excuse To Change Any And Every Part Of Your Life In An Instant.

If You Want To Cure Boredom, Be Curious. If You're Curious, Nothing Is A Chore; It's Automatic - You Want To Study. Cultivate Curiosity, And Life Becomes An Unending Study Of Joy.

Determination Is The Wake-up Call To The Human Will.

Don't Limit Your Challenges; Challenge Your Limits. Each Day We Must Strive For Constant And Never Ending Improvement.

Success Is Processional. It's The Result Of A Series Of Small Disciplines That Lead Us Into Habitual Patterns Of Success That No Longer Require Consistent Will Or Effort.

People Are Not Their Behaviors.

All Too Often, The Security Of A Mediocre Present Is More Comfortable Than The Adventure Of Trying To Be More In The Future.

Change Your Story, Change Your Life. Divorce The Story Of Limitation, And Marry The Story Of The Truth And Everything Changes.

Do Something. Get Results. Decide If It's Worth Repeating.

It's Pretty Simple - The Action You Take Will Determine The Results You Achieve.

If You're Feeling Really Sad, There Is Only One Reason: It's Because You're Deleting All The Reasons You Could Be Feeling Good. And If You're Feeling Good, It's Because You're Deleting All The Bad Things You Could Be Focusing On.

A Bit Of Baseball Wisdom: You Can't Steal Second With Your Foot On First.

Your Story Is Where You Take It To, Not Where You Start.

Success Comes From Taking The Initiative And Following Up Or Persisting.

I Began To Realize That Thinking Itself Is Nothing But The Process Of Asking And Answering Questions.

Answering Questions

I Believe That Life Supports What Supports More Of Life. In Other Words, Motivation Does Matter. If You're Just Trying To Take Care Of Yourself, You're Part Of Life And I Believe Life Steps In And Gives You A Certain Level Of Insight.

It's Not Enough To Have A Strategy For Success. Great Strategy Is Available For Free Online For Everything From Career Success To Meeting Mr. Or Ms. Right. You Must Also Tell Yourself The Right Story.

If I Can't - Then I Must. If I Must - Then I Will.

The Meeting Of Preparation With Opportunity Generates The Offspring We Call Luck.

To Me, Money Is A Vehicle; It's A Tool. I Could Use It As A Weapon To Destroy Things Or Money Can Create-you Can Create An Opportunity, You Can Create A Charity, You Can Create Things For Your Family, You Can Go Do Something For Your Family That Nobody Else Would Ever Do. You Can Create Educational Opportunities, You Can Feed People Overseas. And There's A Tremendous Leverage With Money, Or You Can Destroy People With It.

Many People Say, "well, I'd Love To Make A Decision Like That, But I'm Not Sure How I Could Change My Life." They're Paralyzed By The Fear That They Don't Know Exactly How To Turn Their Dreams Into Reality. And As A Result, They Never Make The Decisions That Could Make Their Lives Into The Masterpieces They Deserve To Be. I'm Here To Tell You That It's Not Important Initially To Know How You're Going To Create A Result. What's Important Is To Decide You Will Find A Way, No Matter What.

Emotion Is Created By Motion.

It's Your Unlimited Power To Care And To Love That Can Make The Biggest Difference In The Quality Of Your Life.

Live Every Day With An Attitude Of Gratitude.

You Can't Succeed By Being Good. That's What You Get Paid For. You Can't Succeed By Being Excellent. That's What You're Expected To Do. You Can Only Succeed By Being Outstanding.

The Most Important Thing Is What You Already Do. It's Being Authentic. It's Being Curious, Trying To Discover Gifts.

We Are Defined By The Stories We Tell Ourselves.

No One Ever Achieved A Goal By Being Interested In Its Achievement. One Must Be Committed. In Fact, In Studying The Source Of People's Success, I've Found That Persistence Overshadows Even Talent As The Most Valued And Effective Resource In Creating And Shaping The Quality Of Life. Most People Give Up A Maddening Five Feet From Their Goal!

We Are The Only Beings On The Planet Who Lead Such Rich Internal Lives That It's Not The Events That Matter Most To Us, But Rather, It's How We Interpret Those Events That Will Determine How We Think About Ourselves And How We Will Act In The Future.

The Quality Of Your Life Is A Direct Reflection Of The Expectations Of Your Peer Group.

People Who Fail Focus On What They Will Have To Go Through; People Who Succeed Focus On What It Will Feel Like At The End.
