Learn what you are good at and exploit it in service to others.

Success comes from what you do, not from what you say you are going to do.

You have to move beyond that vision of the way your life has always looked and begin to picture your life as you want it to look.

You can't write a book and just expect it to sell itself, you know. We're not building that better mousetrap and waiting for the world to beat a path to our dear. You've got to build a market for your book.

Don’t measure busywork. Don’t measure activity. Measure accomplishment. It doesn’t matter what people do as much as it matters what they get done.

Reward the behavior you want repeated.

Few people will turn to themselves to take responsibility for their results until they have exhausted all opportunities to blame someone else.
