The first thing to do when managing time and seeking balance is to decide what is important to you.
Log how you are spending your time daily—and I mean every single second. This will allow you to see all the ways in which you waste your time—
The busier you become, the more you have to manage, control, and prioritize.
most people don't like being criticized. However, I've found that it comes as a natural result of getting attention.

To do something big, you have to embrace danger. The way to ensure that danger doesn't kill you is to be sufficiently trained so that you can get into the ring and come out the victor.
Move your attention from conserving money to creating wealth, and you'll be thinking as successful people do.
Successful people commit first and figure the rest out later.
Fear is an indicator that you are moving in the right direction.
