Take a deep breath, relax and imagine yourself exactly as you wish to be.

Nobody works better under pressure. They just work faster.

The essence of a successful business is really quite simple. It is your ability to offer a product or service that people will pay for at a price sufficiently above your costs, ideally three or four or five times your cost, thereby giving you a profit that enables you to buy and to offer more products and services.

You can become an even more excellent person by constantly setting higher and higher standards for yourself and then by doing everything possible to live up to those standards.

Winding up unfinished business with another person can give you a great burst of positive energy.

Focus very clearly on a few small things. The purpose of a business is to give someone something that they want. Have a product or service that's really excellent. [...] What can you offer that no one else can offer and will satisfy them at a higher level than what anyone else can?

Imagine your ideal future. Visualize yourself as if your life were perfect in every respect.
