Playing it safe and taking no risks is a shortcut to poverty

There's only 1 way to get rich, quick! But not through a get rich quick scheme. There's a difference.

There’s no way to succeed in business without the highest ethical standards.

I believe in total immersion, if you want to be rich, you have to program your mind to be rich. You have to unlearn all the thoughts that were making you poor and replace them with new thoughts - rich thoughts.

My name is Jordan Belfort. I was raised in a tiny apartment in Queens. At the tender age of 22 I headed to Wall Street. Within months I started my own firm out of an abandoned auto body shop. The year I turned 26, I made 49 million dollars which really pissed me off because it was three shy of a million a week.

Whether you say, 'I can' or 'I can't,' you're right either way.

Don't follow the path. Blaze the trail.
