Every time I finish a book, I find five more I want to read. At this point, my reading list is taller than the Tower of Babel. Please help! 😅
It took me years to understand: Working non-stop LOOKS productive. Taking breaks IS productive.
I've learned this the hard way: If I don’t plan my day, someone, or something, will do it for me. And let’s be honest: it’s never the day I actually want.
It’s not that you’re lazy. It’s just that you’re not here.
It's not about being number one. It's about creating the field where you'll be the best.
Sometimes, you need to lower your standards first, so you can raise your performance later.
Confidence isn’t something you wake up with one day. You build it, piece by piece, every time you figure something out.
Most things in life aren’t good or bad. They’re what we make of them. Time to make the best of things.
Better to feel dumb while getting smarter than to feel smart while staying dumb.
Want better results? Stop treating motivation and discipline as opposites. Use both.
Not all hours are equal. Some count double, others barely count at all.
Winging it isn’t a strategy. Most people chase results with motivation and willpower until they burn out. Success isn’t about effort. It’s about structure. Build a system that makes the right actions automatic. When you do, success isn’t a question of "if", but "when".
Success is never a straight line. Yet most people quit the moment it bends. The ones who win are not the ones who had it easy. They are the ones who refused to stop. Expect the struggle. Keep moving. That's how you win.
In the early 90's, Amsterdam’s airport had a problem. Men's restrooms were a mess. They tried signs, better cleaning, even adjusting water pressure. Nothing worked. Then, they etched a tiny black fly in each urinal. Spillage dropped 80%. Set a target and focus follows.
