I often joke with my audiences that I make most of my income on a ski pole. People smile but they get my point. You need to make time for your genius to flow. We get our creative bursts, those idea torrents that take our business and personal lives to the next level, while we are skiing or drinking coffee in a Starbucks or walking in the woods or meditation with a sunrise. Those pursuits are not a waste of time. Creativity comes when you are relaxed, happy and enjoying the moment. And when it comes, it brings ideas that rock your world.

You must spend time every day, even if it is just a few minutes, in practice of creative envisioning.

Every great advancement was once nothing more than a dream in the mind of a visionary.

The best in business spend far more time on learning than in leisure.

I recall a friend telling me that for all the years his mother worked, every clock in her home was set 30 minutes ahead. She was never late. And she was beloved by all. Punctuality matters. Shows respect for others. And excellence within yourself. Be great today. Please.

It's amazing how far you will get by just staying with something long enough. Most people give up too early.

Knowing what to do and not doing it is the same as not knowing what to do.
