“I have been following what is now called the 'Spartan Way' long before it became popular!”

“Wishing, hoping, and dreaming without an action plan - is nothing more than a pipe dream!”

“I can work 5-10 hrs. straight with no problem, though I do take towards the end of a 6-8 hr. work stint some time out to beat myself severely in the gym with weights/aerobics, including intervals!”

“If you want to make more money, you'll have to do things differently. You will have to do things you never even thought of doing in the past. You will have to do things out of your comfort zone.”

“I have always known I had talent, LOL, but to be called a 'talent' feels a little strange - but well within my comfort zone!”

“The best form of customer service is self service. Constantly empower customers to get their own answers themselves.”

“Never start small where goals are concerned. You'll make better decisions - and find it much easier to work a lot harder - when your ultimate goal is ultimate success.”

“All my life, I was always in a hurry! I was always hustling!”

“Remarkably successful people habitually do what other people won't do. They go where others won't go because there's a lot less competition and a much greater chance for success.”

“Good leaders make sense of change in the world... then imparts that insight to the team.”

“The Internet has allowed even more growth possible than in the bricks and mortar industries that I dealt with years ago. It is easier to get a business to a million dollars/pounds in revenue on the net! It is not easy! But it is easier when compared to construction, etc., though all businesses use the Internet to enhance marketing.”

“If you don't embrace a workload others would consider crazy, then your goal doesn't mean that much to you.”

“The Internet is a giant 'lab experiment' for corporate America, and those companies that recognise this and play well within the rules of ambiguity and fluidity will survive and win.”

“The world is full of people who want their ears tickled on strategies for wealth creation and protection and so-called revealed secrets to wealth creation. And there are plenty of slick 'business coaches' who are more than willing to do just that - for a fee. This is the world of the seminar guru.”

“As I have said many times - no 1 loves me as much as I love myself! And if you can't really love yourself, you can't love anything you do!”

“People want to be led by strong leaders, and good leaders are constant students.”

“Year-end goals are terrific! Affirmations with goals are even better! And goals, affirmations, along with visualization is even more effective!”

“When you truly believe in your idea or your company or yourself, then you don't need to have a huge ego or a huge personality.”

“By definition, to work with me, you need thicker skin and must be OK with a certain amount of verbal abuse!”

“We cannot change the past, only recover from it. And perhaps learn its cruel lessons.”
