The goal of becoming more consistent with your core authentic self is a much stronger motivator than "I need to lose 30 pounds."

Success is cutting off all of your options for failure.

You have to make the shift from being a consumer in the economy to becoming an owner-and you do it by becoming an investor.

If you become a master of meaning, you become a master of your life. Two people can have the same experience. One person decides that because of that experience his or her life is over, while the other decides that God has challenged him or her to step up, face the challenge, and become more than he or she ever was before.

Focus on execution rather than just the idea.

Losers react,leaders anticipate.

Proximity is power. If you can get proximity with people that are the best in the world, things can happen because all of the people they know, the insights they have and the life experience they have. They can save you a decade of time by one insight.
