“A quitter never wins - and - a winner never quits.”

“Dreams are not born of indifference, laziness, or lack of ambition.”

“Men who succeed reach decisions promptly, and change them, if at all, very slowly. Men who fail, reach decisions, if at all, very slowly, and change them frequently, and quickly.”

“If you must be careless with your possessions, let it be in connection with material things.”

“Every adversity brings with it the seed of an equivalent advantage.”

“Both poverty and riches are the offspring of thought.”

“Verily, there is nothing, right or wrong, which belief, plus burning desire, cannot make real.”

“Indecision is the seedling of fear! Remember this, as you read. Indecision crystalizes into doubt, the two blend and become fear!”

“He knew that the mind could produce anything the mind could conceive and believe.”

“The way of success is the way of continuous pursuit of knowledge.”

If you don't understand money, you'll never be truly wealthy.

Here are 15 money skills everyone should know:

Although we have been successful in our careers, they have not turned out quite as we expected. We both have changed positions several times-for all the right reasons-but there are no pension plans vesting on our behalf. Our retirement funds are growing only through our individual contributions. Michael and I have a wonderful marriage with three great children. As I write this, two are in college and one is just beginning high school. We have spent a fortune making sure our children have received the best education available. One day in 1996, one of my children came home disillusioned with school. He was bored and tired of studying. “Why should I put time into studying subjects I will never use in real life?” he protested. Without thinking, I responded, “Because if you don't get good grades, you won't get into college.” “Regardless of whether I go to college,” he replied, “I'm going to be rich.”

14 of the Wisest Things Ever Said About Leadership 

People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it.

A boss has the title. A leader has the people.

When people are financially invested, they want a return. When people are emotionally invested, they want to contribute.

You don’t hire for skills; you hire for attitude. You can always teach skills.

You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.

Bad leaders care about who’s right. Good leaders care about what’s right.

We achieve more when we chase the dream instead of the competition.

Leadership is not about being in charge. Leadership is about looking after those in our charge.

Stars want to see themselves rise to the top. Leaders want to see those around them rise to the top.

Customers will never love a company until the employees love it first.

Leadership is not a license to do less; it is a responsibility to do more.

It is not the genius at the top giving directions that makes people great. It is great people that make the person at the top look like a genius.

Stress and anxiety at work have less to do with the work we do and more to do with weak management and leadership.

Be the leader you wish you had.

14 of the wisest things ever said by Simon Sinek

Seek wealth, not money or status. Wealth is having assets that earn while you sleep. Money is how we transfer time and wealth. Status is your place in the social hierarchy.

Seek Wealth, Not Money or Status

Ignore people playing status games. They gain status by attacking people playing wealth creation games.
You’re not going to get rich renting out your time. You must own equity - a piece of a business - to gain your financial freedom.

Ignore Status Games, Own Equity

You will get rich by giving society what it wants but does not yet know how to get. At scale.
Pick an industry where you can play long term games with long term people.

Give Society What It Wants

The Internet has massively broadened the possible space of careers. Most people haven't figured this out yet.
Play iterated games. All the returns in life, whether in wealth, relationships, or knowledge, come from compound interest.

Leverage the Internet's Opportunities

Pick business partners with high intelligence, energy, and, above all, integrity.
Don't partner with cynics and pessimists. Their beliefs are self-fulfilling.

Choose Business Partners Wisely

<ol>
<li>Learn to sell. </li>
<li>Learn to build. </li>
</ol>
If you can do both, you will be unstoppable.

Master Sales and Building

Specific knowledge is knowledge that you cannot be trained for. If society can train you, it can train someone else, and replace you.
When specific knowledge is taught, it’s through apprenticeships, not schools.
Specific knowledge is often highly technical or creative. It cannot be outsourced or automated.

Embrace Specific Knowledge

Give me a lever long enough, and a place to stand, and I will move the earth.

Fortunes require leverage. Business leverage comes from capital, people, and products with no marginal cost of replication (code and media).

Fortunes Require Leverage

When you're finally wealthy, you'll realize that it wasn't what you were seeking in the first place. But that's for another day.

Wealth's True Nature

Apply specific knowledge with leverage, and eventually you will get what you deserve.
There are no get rich quick schemes. That's just someone else getting rich off you.

Apply Specific Knowledge with Leverage

Become the best in the world at what you do. Keep redefining what you do until this is true.
Work as hard as you can. Even though who you work with and what you work on are more important than how hard you work.

Becoming the Best

Set and enforce an aspirational personal hourly rate. If fixing a problem will save less than your hourly rate, ignore it. If outsourcing a task will cost less than your hourly rate, outsource it.

Set and Enforce Your Hourly Rate

Reading is faster than listening. Doing is faster than watching.

Reading, Doing, Succeeding

Planning your day in advance might seem like a simple hack, but its effectiveness is profound. By setting clear intentions the night before, your subconscious mind can work on them overnight. Start with just three to five tasks for the day, and watch your productivity soar. Whether it's scheduling every hour or having a broader plan, the key is to begin your day with purpose.

Hack 2: Plan Your Day the Night Before

Dressing appropriately for your tasks can significantly impact your mindset. Consider these points:●Overdress When Young: In your early years, dressing well can help counteract age-related biases in business.●Define Your Dress Code: Determine what "dressing the part" means to you; it could be business casual, formal etc.●Home Dress Code: For working from home, establish a simple and consistent wardrobe. ●Shoes Indoors: Wearing shoes at home can serve as a psychological trigger to stay focused for work.A uniform dress code creates a mental shift, signaling your brain that it's time to work.

Hack 3: Uniform Dress Code

Maintaining a routine can significantly enhance your productivity. When you establish habits and consistency, you can better manage your time and attention. Key points to remember:●Morning Routine: Craft a morning routine that energizes you without being exhaustive. Avoid lengthy routines that leave you drained.●Task Allocation: Allocate specific times for different tasks to create a structured day.●Reclaim Your Attention: Routines help you regain control of your focus and attention.

Hack 4: The Power of Routine

Time blocking is a technique that helps you manage your day efficiently. Here's how you can apply it:●Allocate Blocks of Time: Divide your day into time blocks, dedicating each block to a specific task.●Prioritize Tasks: Arrange tasks by priority within each block.●Minimize Distractions: During a time block, focus solely on the assigned task and avoid distractions.Time blocking helps you optimize your time and maximize productivity.

Hack 5: Time Blocking

Decision fatigue can slow you down, so minimize non-essential choices:●Meal Prep: Prepare your meals in advance to eliminate the need to decide what to eat every day.●Work Wardrobe: Stick to a uniform work wardrobe to reduce outfit-related decisions.●Automate Tasks: Use automation for repetitive, mundane tasks to free up mental energy.By automating and simplifying daily choices, you'll have more mental capacity for important decisions.

Hack 6: Streamline Decision-Making

Having someone to hold you accountable can be a game-changer:●Accountability Partner: Partner with a friend or colleague who shares your goals and keep each other on track.●Join a Mastermind Group: Connect with like-minded individuals to provide mutual support and accountability.●Public Commitment: Share your goals publicly to create a sense of responsibility.Accountability keeps you motivated and ensures you stay on the path to success.
