When you want something badly enough, you will develop the confidence and the ability to overcome any obstacle in your way.

When you allow yourself to begin to dream big dreams, creatively abandon the activities that are taking up too much of your time, and focus your inward energies on alleviating your main constraints, you start to feel an incredible sense of power and confidence.

Goals in writing are dreams with deadlines.

Your ability to set and achieve goals is perhaps the most important skill you can ever develop.

Only undertake what you can do in an excellent fashion. There are no prizes for average performance.

Happiness and high come to you when you choose to live your life consistent with your highest values and your deepest convictions.

Your solution for a customer has to be either amazingly valuable to someone who will pay an enormous amount of money for it or has to be valuable to an enormous number of people who pay a small amount.
