5 Powerful Quotes
“No matter what we're doing, whatever business or what we're doing in life, it's all about finding result-producing activities and focusing on those. You know, I don't believe in having to work harder than the next person. It's just about finding out what things work and concentrate on those.”
“When I meet people, I can tell pretty quickly the type of individual they are and the work ethic that they have. Because how they do something is how they do everything.”
“One key thing that helped me in fine-tuning my goal statement is to never write ‘I will.’ But write it is though ‘I did, I have, I’ve done it.’”
“When you build something, it needs to be for the long haul… Let's say in business, something that will pay you for a lifetime that you can pass down to someone as a legacy. And typically, if you're looking for shortcuts, and quick and easy, that won't ever last.”
“I like finding systems that work. So you don't have to reinvent the wheel; you simply plug in a system for someone. And if they do those things, it will work.”
