It's not the dreaming, it's the doing.

Everyone tells you how they are going to be "special", but few do the work to get there. Do the work.

Everyone is passionate about something. Usually more than one thing. We are born with it. There are always going to be things we love to do. That we dream about doing. That we really, really want to do with our lives. Those passions aren't worth a nickel.

The new moron in town is Chad Ford of ESPN.com.

I love to compete. I want to get out there and kick your ass in the business world. That is what inspires me.

A long list. From getting cut from the high school basketball team, to getting fired from jobs, getting credit cards rejected and cut up. Rejection has only been a distraction, not a roadblock. “Every no gets me closer to a yes,” was the saying I used to use.

The only thing in your control is effort. That's all, and that's everything.
