The premise, to me, is the most important thing that you have to know going in. It's the problem as you see it. So I write down the problem as I see it. That is the premise for my 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.

I think it's more helpful to keep your books sort of a singular focus. Get it said, get it said well, fascinate people with your words and then write another book.

Your thoughts, your words, and your actions created the life you are living. You create your results—no one else.

My brand was always going to be based on my personality. I didn't want people hiring me for what I said. I wanted them hiring me for who I am.

Find a problem that you can provide a solution to.

You are not paid to work hard. In fact, you are not paid for effort at all. You are paid for results. It's not what you do; it's what you get done.
