“All the excuses in the world won’t change one simple fact: that fear is a sign to do whatever it is you fear—and do it quickly.”
“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.”
“Anyone who minimizes the importance of success to your future has given up on his or her own chances of accomplishment and is spending his or her life trying to convince others to do the same.”
“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.”
“Average is a failing plan! Average doesn’t work in any area of life. Anything that you give only average amounts of attention to will start to subside and will eventually cease to exist.”
“Because the lower performers are not willing to step up and take responsibility to increase their production, they can only seek to tear down those who are performing at higher levels.”
“Being careful requires you to take actions cautiously—and there is no way that you will ever hit 10X activity levels by being cautious.”
“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.”

“Disciplined, consistent, and persistent actions are more of a determining factor in the creation of success than any other combination of things. ”
“Do kids benefit when they see their moms and dads losing or quitting?”
“Do people know you because of your unbelievable work ethic? If you can’t answer YES to that, you’re not gonna get into that top 10 percent.”
“Don’t be confused by what looks like luck to you. Lucky people don’t make successful people; people who completely commit themselves to success seem to get lucky in life. ”
“Extremely successful people know that their efforts must continue in order for them to realize new achievements. Once the hunt for a desired object or goal is abandoned, the cycle of success comes to an end.”
“I contend that the middle class is the most suppressed, restricted, and confined socioeconomic demographic in the world. Those who desire to be a part of it are compelled to think and act in a certain way where “just enough is the reward.”
“I suggest that you become obsessed about the things you want; otherwise, you are going to spend a lifetime being obsessed with making up excuses as to why you didn’t get the life you wanted.”
“If the kids wake you up in the morning you don’t have your shit together.”
“If you have attention on your problems, your goals aren’t big enough.”
“If you’re average, you’ll hate me.”
“It is better to make something happen—good or bad—than to have it happen to you. ”

“Learn to close… and you will never be without a job, and never be without money.”
“Massive thoughts must be followed by massive actions. There is nothing ordinary about the 10X Rule. It is simply what it says it is: 10 times the thoughts and 10 times the actions of other people… You never do what others do. You must be willing to do what they won’t do – and even take actions that you might deem “unreasonable.”
“Money and power follow attention, so whoever can get the most attention is the person who takes the most action and sooner or later will get the most results.”
“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! ”
“Never take the position that things just happen to you; rather, they happen because of something you did or did not do. ”
“One of the major differences between successful and unsuccessful people is that the former look for problems to resolve, whereas the latter make every attempt to avoid them. ”
“Realistic thinking is based on what others think is possible—but they are not you and have no way of knowing your potential and purposes. ”
“Some people claim that expectations are the reason for unhappiness. However, I can assure you from personal experience that you’ll suffer greatly by setting subpar targets.”
“Success is not something that happens to you; it’s something that happens because of you and because of the actions you take. People who refuse to take responsibility generally.”
“Success must be approached from an ethical viewpoint. Success is your duty, obligation and responsibility!”
“Success tends to bless those who are most committed to giving it the most attention.”
“That is what lower performers do; they make others wrong for doing what is necessary in order to make themselves feel okay about doing nothing! The highest performers—the winners—respond by studying successful people and duplicating success.”
“The moment you start thinking someone else’s gain is your loss, you limit yourself by thinking in terms of competition and shortages.”

“There are certain things in life that have limits, but you don’t unless you impose limits on yourself.”
“Think about it: What’s the worst thing that can happen to you if you just totally go for it?”
“Treating success as an option is one of the major reasons why more people don’t create it for themselves—and why most people don’t even get close to living up to their full potential.”
“We are required to live up to the potential with which we’ve each been blessed. I even suggest that failing to insist upon abundant amounts of success is somewhat unethical.”
“Weak and overwhelmed individuals respond to others’ success by attacking it.”
“What if the only thing standing in the way of your greatness was that you just had to go after everything obsessively, persistently, and as though your life depended on it?”
“When people start limiting the amount of success they desire, I assure you they will limit what will be required of them in order to achieve success and will fail miserably at doing what it takes to keep it.”
“You can’t reach your potential without haters.”
“You know, you don’t need to grow old to die. I was dying at the age of 20 as a result of no direction and no purpose.”
“Your persistence on any given endeavor is determined by the clarity of your purpose.”
