“The ambitious are criticized by those that have given up.”

As long as you are alive, you will either live to accomplish your own goals and dreams or be used as a resource to accomplish someone else’s.

Wake up! No one is going to save you. No one is going to take care of your family or your retirement. No one is going to “make things” work out for you. The only way to do so is to utilize every moment of every day at 10X levels.

You will never be admired without being criticized first.

Don’t go to work to work, go to work to prosper.

Success is your duty, obligation and responsibility.

Companies that only focus on expense reduction are all but dead as they will find themselves sooner or later unable to reduce anymore.

Rich people use debt to leverage investments and grow cash flows. Poor people use debt to buy things that make rich people richer.

Quit sharing bad news and gossip you aren’t a garbage truck.

Money is like a jealous lover. Ignore it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave you for someone who makes it a priority.

Never reduce a target. Instead, increase actions. When you start rethinking your targets, making up excuses, and letting yourself off the hook, you are giving up on your dreams!

The average call me obsessed, the successful call me for advice.

Building trust is key to discovering and understanding your buyers’ motives.

Money doesn’t know about clocks, schedules or holidays and you shouldn’t either. Money loves people that have great work ethic.

Criticism precedes admiration and – like it or not – goes hand in hand with success. Keep pouring on the success, and sooner or later, the very same people who were putting you down will be admiring you for what you have done.

Almost every problem people face in their careers and other aspects of their lives – such as failed diets, marriages, and financial problems – are all the result of not taking enough action.

There are certain things in life that have limits, but you don’t unless you impose limits on yourself.

I love playing a smart, ambitious, talented woman. Who doesn’t? That’s really fun for me.

The main thing, of course, always, is the fact that there is only one of you in the world, just one, and if that is not fulfilled then something has been lost. Ambition is not enough; necessity is everything.

We will not be dictated to by men with less intelligence, energy, initiative and ambition than we ourselves possess.

If you try to keep your most sacred ambitions off of your weekly calendar and your most genuine traits off of your resume, then you’re missing out on the power of real integrity.

A lot of people have the ambition, but they never ask themselves, Do I really believe I can do this?

Ambition has to be joined with expectancy. A sense that you have a dream for yourself that you believe can happen.

There’s a starting place. And that starting place for everyone is ambition. We’re all scared of that word today because they made it bad in the late ’80s. As if desire is not a good thing.

Ambition is the great fire, it’s the liberator of the unconscious person. No goals, no growth; no clarity, no change.
