Think about it: What's the worst thing that can happen to you if you just totally go for it?

Realistic thinking is based on what others think is possible-but they are not you and have no way of knowing your potential and purposes

Until you become completely obsessed with your mission, no one will take you seriously. Until the world understands that you're not going away-that you are 100 percent committed and have complete and utter conviction and will persist in pursuing your project-you will not get the attention you need and the support you want.

Building trust is key to discovering and understanding your buyers' motives.

Money is like a jealous lover. Ignore it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave you for someone who makes it a priority.

Have goals so big your problems pale in comparison.

The economy is not the problem, how people respond is the problem!
