If it's important you'll find a way. If it's not, you'll find an excuse.

Steve Jobs is someone I've studied inside and out, and I've applied so many of his techniques and philosophies to my businesses. It's a remote mentorship because I've never met him.

I get thousands of requests for mentorship, but they don't offer anything in return, like filing, cleaning my house, or something. All too often, it's "please mentor me; I need my shot." But they don't offer anything in return.

Until you have enough money accumulated, sacrifice luxury. Sacrifice TV, time out, and even time with your family and friends.

Create experiences that leave you in awe, for these will be the highlights of your life.

There are guys I'd love to learn from, but they wouldn't be a good fit for me, so I read their blogs and books.

The only difference between you today and a year from now are the people you know and what you have learned.
