Remember, every great leader (or visionary or brave thinker) was initially laughed at. Now they are revered.

Every day can be a platform to get you closer to your mountaintop. And yet, too many people live life by accident.

Cut your excuses in half and double your actions around your goals.

The strength and clarity of your vision will lift you out of the depth of any hardship.

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.

If you have never visited the valleys, the view from the mountain top is not breathtaking.

Fear only become powerful when you give it your power.
