Your ability to concentrate single-mindedly on one thing, the most important thing, and stay at it until it is complete, is an essential prerequisite for success.

I began writing books after speaking for several years and I realize that when you have a written book people think that you're smarter than you really are if I can joke. But it's interesting. People will buy your book and hire you without reading the book just because you have a book and you have a book on a subject that they think is of interest to themselves or e to their company.

If you take all the marketing books in the world and distill them, the key to marketing is hope. People buy hope, the hope that you will help them solve a problem or achieve a goal.

A goal or decision without a deadline has no urgency. It has no real beginning or end.

Truthfulness is the real mark of integrity.

The only real antidote to worry or problems is systematic, purposeful action in the direction of your goals.

Be more concerned about what's right rather than who's right.
