If you raise your children to feel that they can accomplish any goal or task they decide upon, you will have succeeded as a parent and you will have given your children the greatest of all blessings.

Success is not a miracle. Nor is it a matter of luck. Everything happens for a reason, good or bad, positive or negative.

Do your own market research; ask your last ten customers exactly why they bought from you.

A major stimulant to creative thinking is focused questions. There is something about a well-worded question that often penetrates to the heart of the matter and triggers new ideas and insights.

Demonstrate to your customer the difference between price and cost. The price is what it takes to purchase the item. The cost is the amount the customer eventually pays. They are not the same.

Spouses should spend at least one full hour each day talking together about subjects that have nothing to do with their work or business. Children need at least ten minutes of face-to-face contact with their parents each day.

Refuse to criticize, condemn, or complain. Instead, think and talk only about the things you really want.
