Success is actually a short race-a sprint fueled by discipline just long enough for habit to kick in and take over.

Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls - family, health, friends, integrity - are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.

You'd be hard pressed to find elite achievers who don't have coaches helping them in key areas of their life.

All great achievements are the result of sustained focus over time-all of them.

Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers that there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it.

Success is built sequentially. It's one thing at a time.

In the end, the best way to succeed is to go small. And when you go small, you say no - a lot. A lot more than you might have even considered before.
