Words have power. Use the language of leadership versus the vocabulary of a victim.

Some disappointment is always the price of brave dreaming.

Never get into the petty habit of measuring yourself worth against other people's net worth.

The more fears we walk through, the more power we reclaim.

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.

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.

The way you begin your day determines the way you will live your day.
