Be a creator of circumstances rather than just a creature of circumstances. Be proactive rather than reactive.

One of the marks of excellent people is that they never compare themselves with others. They only compare themselves with themselves and with their past accomplishments and future potential.

Your earning ability is largely determined by the perception of excellence, quality, and value that others have of you and what you do. The market only pays excellent rewards for excellent performance. It pays average rewards for average performance, and it pays below average rewards or unemployment for below average performance.

Flood your life with ideas from many sources. Creativity needs to be exercised like a muscle. If you don't use it, you'll lose it!

Your financial success is directly related to the size of the problem you solve for other people (solve BIG problems and you'll make BIG money).

The starting point of great success in your life begins, in the simplest terms, when you discipline yourself to think and talk about only the things you want and refuse to think and talk about anything you don't want.

The more feedback you give to people, the better it is, as long as the feedback is objective and not critical.
