“Life is too short
to be living
somebody else’s
dream.”Hugh Hefner
“Nothing in the world
can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not;
nothing is more common
than unsuccessful men with talent.
Genius will not;
unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not;
the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone
are omnipotent.
The slogan ‘PRESS ON!’
has solved and always will solve
the problems of the human race.”~Calvin Coolidge
“Deep within man
dwell those slumbering powers;
powers that would
astonish him,
that he never dreamed of possessing;
forces that would
revolutionize his life
if aroused and put into action.”
~ Orison Swett Marden
“You were designed for accomplishment ,engineered for success
and endowed with the seeds of greatness.”
~ Zig Ziglar
Zig Ziglar will go down in the record books as one of the greatest storytellers,
motivational speakers and authors in the field of personal development
in all of human history.
I have been studying the late Mr. Ziglars’ books, speeches, mannerisms,
wisdom and philosophies for over 5 years now. His teachings have molded
my life and will effect the way in which I set goals and make decision
for the rest of my life.
Zig Ziglar mastered the art of public speaking and clearly defined the master plan
for setting goals and maximum personal achievement.
He passed away at the age of 86 yesterday.
His legacy will live on forever in the tens of thousands of people he has inspired to live life to its fullest potential.
I look forward to spreading his message and inspiring others to do the same, as he has done for me.
Here are 5 of my favorite quotes from Zig Ziglar;
1. “Make today worth remembering.”
2. “Failing is an event, not a person. Yesterday ended last night.”
3. “The more you are grateful for what you have the more you will have to be grateful for”
4. “The chief cause of failure and unhappiness is trading what you want most for what you want right now”
5. “You were born to win, but to be a winner you must plan to win, prepare to win, and expect to win.”
“At the center of your being
you have the answer;
you know who you are
and you know what you want.”
~ Lao Tzu
Everything you need to accomplish your goals and dreams is already within you. You have all the answers and you know exactly what you need to do.
For a many years I watched myself denying the things that I knew were right and correct in any given moment. I would regularly betray myself, finding anything and everything to distract from doing what I knew clearly in my mind to be exactly what needed to be done.
Listen to your heart and break the cycle of self denial. You only get one ride on this rollercoaster of life.
So sit up front, raise your hands and scream as loud as you can!
Stay focused. Stay flexible. Stay hungry.
“When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you’ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.”

“I keep everybody in their position that makes the most sense, keep everybody comfortable. I don’t put any grand expectations on anyone I work with.
I hire them inside their lane.”
“Don’t worry, be crappy.
Revolutionary means you ship and then test…
