Fill your brain with giant dreams so it has no space for petty pursuits.

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.

Each day life sends you chances to learn, grow and step into your best. Don't miss them.

We need to keep our ears open to the realities of life. If we don't act on life and take action to make things happen, it will act on us and give us results we might not want.

I believe we can accelerate our acumen, performance and success by leveraging our associations and spending time with people better than us.

The conversations you are most resisting are the conversations you most need to be having.

Leave your ego at the door every morning, and just do some truly great work. Few things will make you feel better than a job brilliantly done.
