“Every achievement, big or small, begins in your mind.”

The seeds you plant in the hearts and minds of others will be what you receive in return – 100-fold. Only sow that which you wish to receive in return. Sow good, receive good! Plant seeds daily in your Mary Kay business and your Mary Kay business will return to you.

My definition of happiness is having something to do what you love to do, someone to love, and something to look forward to.

There are two things people want more than sex and money, recognition and praise.

Real leaders aren’t afraid to get their hands dirty.

Think about it, no one can win a race in which he had given up. You can’t win a battle for which you have surrendered.

A strong beginning is a good thing only when coupled with a strong finish.

You cannot keep determined people from success. If you place stumbling blocks in their way, they will use them for stepping stones and climb to new heights.

I’ve never yet met a person who didn’t want to be appreciated.

Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.

The speed of the leader is the speed of the gang.

Every person should have a lifetime self-improvement program.

God didn’t have time to create a nobody, just a somebody. I believe that each of us has God given talents within us waiting to be brought to fruition. Each person is unique and special.

Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.

Never rest on your laurels. Nothing wilts faster than a laurel sat upon.

People change and even products change. But over the course of time it’s the strength of a company’s philosophy that will determine whether or not it endures.

You can have anything in this world you want, if you want it badly enough and you’re willing to pay the price.

With outcome-based habits, the focus is on what you want to achieve. With identity-based habits, the focus is on who you wish to become.

You’d be hard pressed to find elite achievers who don’t have coaches helping them in key areas of their life.

I was the kid who never won the races. I never jumped the highest. I wasn’t on the list of the high-achieving.

Don’t worry about achieving. Don’t worry about perfection. Just be there each moment as best you can.

If you aren’t where you want to be or you haven’t achieved all you hope to achieve, the reason most likely resides not around you but within you. Take responsibility and then take action.

Very early in life I became fascinated with the wonders language can achieve. And I began playing with words.

Recognizing poor leadership is a vital skill to help you achieve greatness.

I will always be as difficult as necessary to achieve the best.
