The key to becoming world-class in your endeavors is to build your performance around world-class routines. It can be difficult, even futile, to predict or control what will show up in the middle of your workday. But you can almost always control how your day starts and ends. I have routines for both.

The key that unlocks your greatness is deliberate, disciplined and consistent effort.

Allow yourself to go and do it wrong. Don't expect to always get it right. It will prevent you from doing anything.

The first step toward change is awareness. If you want to get from where you are to where you want to be, you have to start by becoming aware of the choices that lead you away from your desired destination.

Hang out with those who have a common FUTURE with you; not a common past.

It's no great achievement to go along with the crowd. Be the unusual guy, the extraordinary guy.

Success is not for those who want it, nor those who need it, but for those who are utterly determined to seize it--whatever it takes.
