Work-get paid; don't work-don't get paid. Everybody is on commission
Be an evangelist with your excellence.
Save 3-6 months of expenses in a Rainy Day fund. Know why? Cause it is going to rain, and you aren't the exception.
If hard work, integrity, thrift, and perseverance have caused you to succeed, then you don't owe anyone an apology for winning.
Success is a pile of failure that you are standing on.
When people get scared, they quit giving.
