Don’t let your fears overwhelm your desire. Let the barriers you face, and there will be barriers, be external, not internal. Fortune does favor the bold, and I promise that you will never know what you’re capable of unless you try.

A world where men ran half our homes and women ran half our institutions would be just a much better world.

Stay confident even when something bad happens. It is just a bump in the road. It will pass.

Due diligence equals increasing your financial IQ daily.

In a lot of ways it is easier to do things on a large scale. It is easier to build a skyscraper in Manhattan than it is to buy a bungalow in the Bronx. For one thing, it takes just as much time to close a big deal as it does to close a small deal. You will endure as much stress and aggravation; you will have all the same headaches and problems. It is easier to finance a big deal. Bankers would much rather lend money for a big project than for a small one. They are more comfortable investing money in a big prestigious building than they are a rundown house in a bad section of town. If you succeed with the big project, you stand to gain a lot more money.

The greatest cause of a poor image is the absence of unconditional love.

Fear has two meaning; ‘Forget Everything And Run’ or ‘Face Everything And Rise.’ The choice is yours.

As you start your journey, the first thing you should do is throw away that store-bought map and begin to draw your own.

If you don’t see yourself as a winner, then you cannot perform as a winner.

Be there for your kids. Later, when you need them, they’ll be there for you.

Just saying you are better than good won’t make it so. But, when you understand what it takes to live the better than good life, and you apply yourself, your life will truly be better than good.

Time well spent results in more money to spend, more money to save, and more time to vacation.

I have learned that what is essential can sometimes be invisible to the eye. That’s where discernment comes in.

The starting point of all achievement is desire.

Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we react to it.

Courage is on display every day, and only the courageous wring the most out of life.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
