Criticism is easier to take when you realize that the only people who aren’t criticized are those who don’t take risks.

To be a successful business owner and investor, you have to be emotionally neutral to winning and losing. Winning and losing are just part of the game.

If you look at anyone who has achieved great success and wealth, people like Warren Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, or Lance Armstrong, they have all focused intensely in order to win.

People don't like the idea of thinking long term. Many are desperately seeking short term answers because they have money problems to be solved today.

A lot of people are afraid to tell the truth, to say no. That's where toughness comes into play. Toughness is not being a bully. It's having backbone.

Over the years I have found that many of the richest people in the world began their lives with the habit of tithing.

Most people are poor not because they are not smart - most people are poor or struggle financially because they're fearful of losing.
