If you don't change the direction you are going, then you're likely to end up where you're heading.

Successful people don’t wait for everything to be perfect to move forward.

People say, "John, what's your personal growth?" And ask "How do you grow?" And I tell them. I thought, "Why do I keep telling them, why don't I just write a book on what I call personal growth?" And that's what this [Today Matters] book is.

Leadership, like responsibility, is a voluntary act.

Fail early, fail often, but always fail forward.

The key to your success, to my success, to everyone's success is determined by our daily agenda. What you and I do every day is either making us or breaking us, we're either preparing or repairing. So when somebody says, 'John, I want to be a success. Where do I start?' I say, It's very simple. Start with today.

A leader who loves status quo soon becomes a follower.
