As a business owner or manager, you know that hiring the wrong person is the most costly mistake you can make.

There are, basically, three kinds of people: the unsuccessful, the temporarily successful, and those who become and remain successful. The difference is character.

Make a decision to be successful right now. Most people never decide to be wealthy and that is why they retire poor.

Do your very best on every task. Imagine that everyone is watching even when no one is watching.

When you make a to-do list, you should also make a to-not-do list. Warren Buffet was asked about the secret to success, and he said that it was saying no to almost everything. Some of those little tasks won't matter as long as you get the big tasks done.

Implement your plans with courage and persistence. Have complete faith in your ability to succeed and never, ever give up.

The law of cause and effect: If you do what other successful people do, you will eventually get the results that other successful people get.
