Whatever job you take on, make yourself valuable, then indispensable.

The biggest enemies we have to overcome on the road to success are not a lack of ability and a lack of opportunity but fears of failure and rejection and the doubts that they trigger.

Act with purpose, courage, confidence, competence and intelligence until these qualities 'lock in' to your subconscious mind.

Success is goals, everything else is commentary.

My secret for writing is going back to clarity. I'm very clear about what I want to accomplish-the goal-and then the next two are focus and concentration. And I've probably spent my whole life both practicing those two and teaching them. Focus. Focus on a single point and concentration. And concentrating on a single thing till it's done.

Develop a mentor at each stage of your career - someone who will give you guidance and advice.

The foundation of confidence in virtually every field is preparation.
