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

People often resist change when they don’t participate in the decision-making process. Some of the best leaders ‘plant the seed’ that permits others to propose the idea and take credit for it!

Help other people get what they want – and you’ll get what you want.

Be a dreamer. Have a sense of greatness. It has been said that if you can dream it, you can do it. And I believe that. Before your dream can become a reality, you have to see it in your own mind; see its fulfillment, whatever it may be.

You are the only boss you have. And I want you to be the most demanding boss that you can be. If you really want to make a success of this business, then you must put yourself on a schedule.

Hope is wishing for something to come true. Faith is belief that it will come true. Believe that for every problem God gives you, He will also provide you with a solution.

For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

You can’t stand still. You either go forward or backward.

Dare to risk public criticism.

Even the smallest achievements pave a way to great success.

Some people drift through their entire life. They do it one day at a time, one week at a time, one month at a time. It happens so gradually they are unaware of how their lives are slipping away until it’s too late.

In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.

I believe that you should praise people whenever you can; it causes them to respond as a thirsty plant responds to water.

An average person with average talents and average ambition can outstrip the most brilliant genius in our society; if that person has clear focused goals.

Those who are blessed with the most talent don’t necessarily outperform everyone else. It’s the people with follow-through who excel.

People fall forward to success.

Fear is faith that it won’t work.

Uncertainty is an uncomfortable position. But certainty is an absurd one.

The most pathetic person in the world is some one who has sight but no vision.

I have far more respect for the person with a single idea who gets there than for the person with a thousand ideas who does nothing.

Business is a spiritual pursuit. Your business will not grow unless you grow as a person.

A person starts to live when he can live outside himself.

Leadership means that a group, large or small, is willing to entrust authority to a person who has shown judgement, wisdom, personal appeal, and proven competence.

I know I’m not a perfect person but I can make a good relationship last forever.

The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.
