Successful people...focus on the rewards of success: learning from their mistakes and thinking about how they can improve themselves and their situations.

Everyone has the power to impact the outcome of his life. The way to do it is to focus on today. . . It is too late for yesterday. And you can't depend on tomorrow.

If your desire is to be successful or to make a positive impact on your world, you need to become a person of influence.

Failing forward is the ability to get back up after you've been knocked down, learn from your mistake, and move forward in a better direction.

God has never given a dream that could be fulfilled at step one. So start walking, be obedient, and watch God fulfill that dream in your life.

I found it really rewarding because the last one to use my gifts and advantages to people who look at church as not on their radar screen at all, it gives me favor with - I do a lot with Fortune 500 companies now.

Leaders attract potential leaders.
