Even when change is elective, it will disorient you. You may go through anxiety. You will miss aspects of your former life. It doesn't matter. The trick is to know in advance of making any big change that you're going to be thrown off your feet by it. So you prepare for this inevitable disorientation and steady yourself to get through it. Then you take the challenge, make the change, and achieve your dream.

Look in the mirror every day and say, I am in charge. You might not have control over every phase of your life, but you have more control than you realize, and you are responsible for your own happiness and success.

The sooner you accept the fact that you will have both successes and failures, the easier it will be to get your business and personal life headed in the right direction.

Ethical decisions ensure that everyone's best interests are protected. When in doubt, don't.

If you want to double your success ratio, you have to double your failure ratio.

You'll never please everyone, but you only have to please a few people to get an offer.

Amateurs wait for inspiration. The real pros get up and go to work.
