If you don't actively and decidedly choose to be the best, you automatically default to the lower 80% in your field.

Set excellent performance as your standard and strive to achieve it each day

You can never earn in the outside world more than you earn in your own mind.

You can accomplish virtually anything if you want it badly enough and if you are willing to work long enough and hard enough.

Continually push yourself out of your comfort zone. Push yourself to stretch as you try new things each day.

Your competitive advantage must be perceivable, promotable, and something the market will pay for.

Every great success is an accumulation of thousands of ordinary efforts that no one else sees or appreciates.
