Without a vision there is no possibility of creating something larger than what al-ready exists. An entrepreneur has to be able to bring something to the table through his or her vision that is not being provided by others - a special way of meeting needs, caring for others, treating patients, or marketing. An entrepreneur must have enormous faith. Risk-taking is critical to the development of an enterprise. You will not take risks unless you have the faith to do so.

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.

Connection and love: We all want it. Most people settle for connection because love's too scary.

We want to avoid pain and have pleasure, so if our early attempts to achieve our dreams fail, we want to avoid the pain of future failure and rejection, so we stop trying and write it off with a broadbrush, "I'm just not driven enough, not well educated enough, not attractive enough, not smart enough."

The most successful people in the world are people who were rejected more than anybody else.

Your current conditions do not reflect your ultimate potential, but rather the size and quality of goals upon which you currently are focusing.

There are millions of business ideas out there but only a tiny percentage of businesses succeed.
