Every single person on the planet is rewarded for one thing and one thing only, and that is for serving other people. The more you serve others, the higher your reward.

I think shorter books are going to become more and more of the trend. So I don't think you have to write big, big, long books.

I'm not so good at just throwing out facts and figures and education and all that. I tell stories to captivate, that give people... that touch people emotionally.

I looked at the fact that people were in such financial trouble I said well people are broke because they want to be.

Don't educate people; touch them emotionally. Remember that people want to be scared or they want to be made happy or they want to be made sad.

Clean up your own backyard. Change by example. Just be the way you want others to be and hope they pay attention.

Be the kind of person others admire, can count on, trust, and enjoy spending time with. After you have developed that reputation, people will start to ask you what you do and you will be amazed at how many people will want to work with you. You will attract others based on your character.
