Don’t die without embracing the daring adventure your life is meant to be.

Steve Pavlina

Imaginary testing is unreliable, and in many cases, it’s a huge waste of time and energy. In truth you just don’t know what will happen until you try.
STEVE PAVLINA

Dream Trying Way
You must assume 100% responsibility for your financial life. If you’re going to improve your situation, you have to put the full burden of doing so squarely on your own shoulders. First and foremost, you must hold yourself responsible.

Firsts Money Responsibility
You must give before you can get.
STEVE PAVLINA

Before Get Giving
Do what you love, but be damned sure it’s profitable. If you do work you love, but it doesn’t generate income, your business will fail. If you do work you hate, but it generates income, your health will fail… and your business along with it.

Business Hate Passion
Replace “Have to” with “Want to.”

Action Proper replace Want
If you can’t do what you love and make it profitable, you’ve either got a hobby or a headache, not a sustainable business. Don’t settle for anything less than passion and profit.

One of the secrets to success is recognizing that motivation follows action.

Action Motivation Secret

When you live for a strong purpose, then hard work isn’t an option. It’s a necessity.
STEVE PAVLINA

Hard Work Purpose Strong
Saying no isn’t easy, but it’s a required skill if you wish to have any degree of focus in your life. If you say yes too often, you’ll likely fall into the common trap of saying yes to the good while simultaneously saying no to the best.

Fall Skills Thought Provoking
People often overestimate what they can reasonably achieve in a year. But they vastly underestimate what they can achieve in 5 years.

Achievement People Years
Productivity = creating value and delivering it to people. All other busywork is unproductive fluff and should be minimized.
STEVE PAVLINA

Creating Value People
By all means listen to other people’s advice, but when in doubt go with your gut instinct.

Advice Mean People
Tackling challenges that are too big for you is what makes you grow as a human being.
