“There are no days off for those who pursue success.”

“Those who achieve the greatest success in life, and thus, accumulate the most wealth, are individuals who have combined three things:

1) Monetization
2) Passion and
3) Innate Talent”

“Those who succeed in life, overcome adversity because they have a clear vision of who they are. Their identity is their GPS, constantly moving them forward to the realization of their dreams and their goals.”

“Very few find mentors in life who help guide them in their thinking, behaviors, choices and habits. But, the few who do, almost always succeed in life and the byproduct of that success, is wealth.”

“Very few pursue their dreams, big goals or success. Such pursuits require changes that have a way of shaking up our lives. These changes always affect those closest to us – our immediate family and close friends. And because change is uncomfortable, those affected most, fight back.”

“Victims point their finger at everyone but themselves.
When you are a victim, you see nothing good in your future. This negative, pessimistic outlook on life fortifies the circumstances in which they live.”

“Wanting is good when it is used to force positive change in yourself or in the lives of others.”

“Wanting is the desire to be, do or have something you don’t currently have. Wanting creates an itch that must be scratched. It stirs the passions deep inside of you, and can become a fuel for change. When your wants are good, then wanting can be a catalyst that forces you to change. And change is how you transform yourself into the ideal, future version of yourself – successful and happy.”

“Wealth is merely a derivative of success. Success is a byproduct of growth. Growth results from pursing a dream.”

“Wealth is nothing more than a byproduct of success.”

“When I embarked on writing my first of many books, Rich Habits, I really enjoyed it and it didn’t feel like work at all. In fact, no matter how many hours I devoted to my writing, which was significant, I couldn’t get over the feeling that I was not working. And because my love for writing felt like play and not work, I felt guilty when I was writing. I felt guilty that I was not “working”.”

“When the going gets tough, you either show up or you give up. Those who make showing up a habit, are able to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of their success.”

“When the lens through which you view the world is negative, you see nothing but problems. You become blind to opportunities”
