“Rich people believe in themselves. They believe in their value and in their ability to deliver it. Poor people don’t. That’s why they need “guarantees.””

Rich people see opportunities. Poor people see obstacles. Rich people see potential growth. Poor people see potential loss. Rich people focus on rewards. Poor focus on the risks.

The only time you are actually growing is when you are uncomfortable.

It comes down to this: either you control money, or it controls you. To control money, you must manage it.

I took his suggestion to heart and went from a “know-it-all” to a “learn-it-all.”

Remember, either you control your money or it will control you.

If you want to make a permanent change, stop focusing on the size of your problems and start focusing on the size of you!

You have to believe that you are the one who creates your success, that you are the one who creates your mediocrity, and that you are the one creating your struggle around money and success.

Rich people are committed to enough to do whatever it takes. Period.

It’s not enough to be in the right place at the right time. You have to be the right person in the right place at the right time.

Nobody ever died of discomfort, yet living in the name of comfort has killed more ideas, more opportunities, more actions, and more growth than everything else combined. Comfort kills!

Practice being in the present. Do what you’re doing 100%.

Trust yourself and in the universe that everything will work out in the end.

One of the principles we teach in our programs is “If you shoot for the stars, you’ll at least hit the moon.” Poor people don’t even shoot for the ceiling in their house, and then they wonder why they’re not successful.

I observe my thoughts and entertain only those that empower me.

Helping people grow and achieve their dreams is the fastest route to success.

The truth is few people “think” big and even fewer “play” big. Why? Because “big” often means big responsibilitie s, big hassles and big problems. They look at that “bigness” and shrink. They’re smaller than their problems.

Suddenly we had become these people who didn’t drink anything but kale, who ended many of our conversations with tears, and for whom no future was guaranteed. It was kind of funny.

Life is fragile. We’re not guaranteed a tomorrow so give it everything you’ve got.

Life is never guaranteed to be safe, so we better use it while we are still in good condition.
