Information without execution is poverty. Remember: we’re drowning in information, but we’re starving for wisdom.
repetition is the mother of skill.
Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
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.
When things are going down, we think they’re going to go down forever—pessimism takes over.
By committing to a simple but steady code of savings, by drawing down on your income each pay period and paying yourself first, there’s a way to tap the power of compound savings and let it take you to unimaginable heights.

Remember Warren Buffett’s top two rules of investing? Rule 1: don’t lose money! Rule 2: see rule 1.
Risk a little, make a lot.
It goes from being a story of limitation to a story of empowerment: “I will not be one of the many who can’t, I will be one of the few who do.”
Money is nothing more than a reflection of your creativity, your capacity to focus, and your ability to add value and receive back.
If you can find a way to create value—that is, add value for a massive number of people—you will have an opportunity to have a massive amount of economic abundance in your life.
I would love others, but I would not spend my life trying to please them—especially
change your story, change your life. Divorce your story of limitation and marry the truth. You can make anything happen.
Massive action is the cure to all fear. Think about it, fear is physical.
emotional and psychological fitness—the two forces that truly change how someone’s life turns out. Determination, faith, and courage began to be the forces that guided my every action
going forward.
Face your challenges head on with the core belief that problems are just speed bumps on the road to your dreams. And from that place, when you take massive action—with an effective and proven strategy—you will rewrite your history.
Disappointment is inevitable when you are attempting to do anything of great scale. Instead, let your disappointments drive you to find new answers; discipline your disappointments.
always remember the ultimate truth: life is not about money, it’s about emotion.
Attaining possessions is not the goal. Money itself is not the goal. Our worth is not measured by the weight of our bank accounts but, rather, by the weight of our souls. The path to money, the places money can take us, the time and freedom and opportunity money can bring—these are what we’re really after.
There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure. —PAULO COELHO
massive action is the cure-all.
If you don’t know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere. —HENRY KISSINGER
The race of life is a marathon, not a sprint. The only thing to do is focus on the path in front of you. Look ahead. Establish your own pace. Keep moving forward. And then create that plan.
The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday. —ANONYMOUS
It is only the first step that is difficult. —MARIE DE VICHY-CHAMROND
Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it. —WINSTON CHURCHILL
Remember, it’s not conditions but decisions that determine our lives. Disappointment can drive us, or it can defeat us.
He who gains time gains everything. —BENJAMIN DISRAELI
You can be rich by having more than you need, or by needing less than you have. —JIM MOTT
The average American home is $270,000—but this strategy works whether your home costs $500,000 or $2 million. A 30-year loan on $270,000 at 6% requires an initial monthly payment of $1,618. With this technique, you would also write a second check for an extra $270—next month’s principal balance—a very small number, relatively speaking. That second check of $270 is money you’ll never pay interest on. To be clear, you’re not paying extra money; you’re simply prepaying next month’s principal a touch sooner.

Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value. —ALBERT EINSTEIN
If you wish to become great, learn to become the servant of many. If you can find a way to serve many people, you can earn more. Find a way to serve millions of people, you can earn millions. It’s the law of added value.
Remember Jim Rohn’s words: “For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to get better.”
The real limitation in our earnings is never our job—it’s our creativity, our focus, and our contribution.
Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort. —FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT
