Leadership is the ability to get extraordinary achievement from ordinary people.

The average person works at fifty percent or less of their potential. Your job is to unleash that extra fifty percent.

Everything in life is a checklist, whether it's building a birdhouse or building a kitchen. If you don't have a checklist, you're much more likely to forget something.

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

Resolve to pay any price or make any sacrifice to get into the top ten percent of your field. That payoff is incredible!

Perhaps the very best question that you can memorize and repeat, over and over, is, 'what is the most valuable use of my time right now?'

You can get control of your tasks and activities only to the degree that you stop doing some things and start spending more time on the few activities that can really make a difference in your life.
