Start with why. And work really hard to make sure you're consistent.

Great leaders state out loud what they intend to do and in doing so, they get things done.

What we do for others has a direct impact on how we feel about ourselves.

I never imagined working with CEOs, congressmen or the military, yet I make regular visits to the Pentagon, stop by the Capitol now and then and sit down with leaders of all kinds of companies.

A good leader shares information, even if they don't know the whole story. Without any information, people create their own, which causes fear and paranoia.

When I present, I cheat. I only talk about things I care about.

You have to have a patience for exercise. You have to have a patience for college. You have to have a patience for relationships. Once the momentum gets going it takes on a life all of its own.
