Success leaves clues. Go figure out what someone who was successful did, and model it. Improve it, but learn their steps. They have knowledge.

There is no such thing as failure. There are only results.

Every great, successful person I know shares the capacity to remain centered, clear, and powerful in the midst of emotional 'storms'.

Get into "the state:" Conquer fear by stopping thinking about yourself and instead, focusing 100 percent on how you can best serve your audience.

Most of us make unconscious choices in the words that we use; we sleep-walk through the maze of possibilities available to us.

Where focus goes, energy flows. And where energy flows, whatever you're focusing on grows. In other words, your life is controlled by what you focus on. That's why you need to focus on where you want to go, not on what you fear. When you next find yourself in a state of uncertainty, resist your fear. Shift your focus toward where you want to go and your actions will take you in that direction.

Persistence overshadows even talent as the most valuable resource shaping the quality of life.
