You always get paid for how hard you work, but it's not always right away.

When it comes to making commitments to other people, sometimes one of the hardest things to learn to say is no when we mean no.

A lot of "successful" people are tragedies, because what they've accomplished aren't the things they wanted. Intentionally create the question "how" instead of accidentally relenting to the question of "should." If I'm not intentionally choosing a good attitude, I'm almost always unintentionally choosing a negative one.

Success is more a matter of choice than of circumstance.

Fear is a big reason. Ultra achievers don't have an attitude for overcoming fear. They just do it anyway, because they're okay with being afraid. Instead of putting energy into reducing fear, they confront it with action.

You multiply your time by spending time on things today that will give you more time tomorrow.

Do things you don't want to do because it is the shortest, most guaranteed path to success: what you want in your life. It's not about getting a certain amount of money or a certain type of house, but what you want your life to look like.
