“People are fond of using the its not what you know, its who you know adage as an excuse for inaction, as if all successful people are born with powerful friends. Nonsense.”

It’s not enough to have the right answers. You have to have the right questions.

One can steal ideas, but no one can steal execution or passion.

Reality is negotiable.

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

It isn’t enough to think outside the box. Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box.

Being selective-doing less-is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

For all their bitching about what’s holding them back, most people have a lot of trouble coming up with the defined dreams they’re being held from.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

If you spend your time, worth $20-25 per hour, doing something that someone else will do for $10 per hour, it’s simply a poor use of resources.

Money doesn’t change you; it reveals who you are when you no longer have to be nice.

To do the impossible, you need to ignore the popular.

Tomorrow becomes never. No matter how small the task, take the first step now!

There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.

I value self-discipline, but creating systems that make it next to impossible to misbehave is more reliable than self-control.

Requiring a lot of time does not make a task important.

Pacifists become militants. Freedom fighters become tyrants. Blessings become curses. Help becomes hindrance. More becomes less.

We may say we value this thing or that thing more than any other, but the volume of our actions speaks louder than our words.

Lord, please transform this worldly brokenness into actions that will praise you.

Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.

You take the job very seriously and between action and cut, that’s where your focus should be. And then there’s a lot of levity in between and a lot of good fun.

Chivalry is dead. Women killed it.

Nowadays, suicide is just a way of disappearing. It is carried out timidly, quietly, and falls flat. It is no longer an action, only a submission.

Action over worry. Action over fear. Action over anxiety!

Our trouble is not ignorance, but inaction.
