Our vision is only actionable if we share it. Without sharing, it’s just a figment of our imagination.
Trust is built on telling the truth, not telling people what they want to hear.
The goal of business should not be to do business with anyone who simply wants what you have. It should be to focus on the people who believe what you believe. When we are selective about doing business only with those who believe in our WHY, trust emerges.
We crave explanations for most everything, but innovation and progress happen when we allow ourselves to embrace uncertainty.
Intelligence looks for what is known to solve problems. Creativity looks for what is unknown to discover possibilities.
True love is when both people think they have the better half of the deal.
There are leaders, and there are those who lead.
We last longer if we compete against ourselves for the good of others instead of competing against others for the good of ourselves.
The future is only scary if we try to avoid it.
Failure is not tied to money; it is a mindset. Failure is when we accept the lot we are given.
Pursue the thing inside us and others will help us. Pursue the things outside us and others will compete with us.
We should invest in people not ideas. A good idea is often destroyed by bad people and good people can always make a bad idea better.
Leaders don’t look for recognition from others, leaders look for others to recognize.
What good is it to have a belly if there’s no fire in it? Wake up, drink your passion, light a match and get to work.
The next time someone starts listing all the reasons an idea won’t work or can’t happen, ask them to give 3 reasons it can.
The only way to ‘find out if it will work out’ is to do it.
Leadership is a choice. It is not a rank.
Truly effective and inspiring leaders aren’t actually driven to lead people; they are driven to serve them.
Life changes for the better when we realize that we don’t have to know everything and we don’t have to pretend we do.
The goal is not to be perfect by the end. The goal is to be better today.
