Reset, readjust, restart, refocus.As many times as you need to.
Just don't quit!
I never feared about my skills because I put in the work. Work ethic eliminates fear.
So if you put forth the work, what are you fearing? You know what you're capable of doing and what you're not.

Every sunset is an opportunity to reset.
Some people say they have 20 years experience, when in reality, they have 1 year's experience repeated 20 times. (Stephen M R Covey to Richie Norton when Norton asked if he was too young to train older executives for Covey.)
You bring out the best in people when you trust them with a higher-vision of themselves. You keep them at lower-levels when you treat them like you see them with your physical eyes.
Work-life freedom doesn’t come easy; it requires the individual to develop a disciplined commitment to the type of person they are becoming, over all other priorities in their lives.
People try to understand me and what I do. I don’t want to be understood. Don’t put me in a box until I’m dead.
Love, don't fight. But fight for what you love.
Don’t put me in a box until I’m dead.
Who is someone you admire who has the results you’d like to model? Learn from them.
If you think you don’t have enough time, that’s ok, you have time enough. Now do.
It's amazing to me people are willing to work so hard so that one day they can have more time with their family at the actual expense of their family.
Time is the currency you should care about. Money is less of a factor in how you spend your time than you currently have set your life up to believe.
Everyone talks about being there for each other when things go wrong. Yet, on average things are going right. This means if you’re not there for each other when things are right, it’s hard to be there for each other when things go wrong.
I know who you are by how and where you spend your time.
When learning to swim, an hour in the pool is more useful than a year poolside.
If you have a project to pour your learnings into, you will retain the knowledge.
Doesn’t matter how fast you cross the finish line if you’re running the wrong race.
There is something about tracing the steps of heroes that makes them become real and provides inspiration.
Wisdom isn’t a factor of an ability to share or think fast or slow, but an ability of discernment. Breadth. Depth. Timing.
Life is situational. Love is unconditional.
Die alive or die trying, but don’t live dead.
The good life is not built on a foundation of ease...it’s the hard times that give us a rock solid foundation.
Love God unconditionally.
Change is a product of learning and doing. Too many of us just learn and judge.
If you’re not changing forwards, you’re changing backwards because we are always changing.
Choose unconditional love. Love God unconditionally. Stop blaming Daddy in the Sky when bad things happen. Keep your faith. Go to work.
We own our own lives and live regardless of frauds. (You should too.)
Don’t find meaning, assign meaning.
Sometimes I hear people say people can’t dream and live well because that means others can’t. Not true. Some people’s dreams are another’s nightmare.
I refuse to achieve “success” at the expense of my life.
What’s the success you think success will bring you? Go after the after-success, first.
Final cause is the success after the success. Always step over success to begin with final cause.
Some mentors are an open window to success. Other mentors are a closed door. Let people get to where they want through you as an open window...without blocking their view with a closed door ego.
They aren't roadblocks. They're signposts.
Make your work laser focused to create asymmetrical success and increase your time and personal freedoms.
Successful people don’t use the obstacles of time, education, and money as excuses...they use them as leverage to get help.
The only “success question” that matters: Do you want to learn or do you want your excuse?
Every sunrise begins with new eyes.
The highest and best use of your time isn’t always something you like, but something you like can be the best use of your time. Choose wisely.
Timelessness is an art.
There's a time for taking yourself seriously, it's just usually never the right time.
Wealth and income without lifestyle is a waste of wealth and income. Better to be poor with a life than rich with none.
Work to support your lifestyle, don't live to support your work.
Create a space in life and business for the person you want to become, not the person you were.
I refuse to achieve 'success' at the expense of my life.
Once you understand the value of time constraints, you life will suddenly be free. With freedom you’ll be better enabled to provide joy to those you serve with intentional attention.
What will you do with all your newly found available time?
Own the amount of time you spend at work as a choice, not a consequence. Don’t play the victim of your job. Hard work is a high. It is. Don’t forget what you’re reaching for while getting high on work.
Freedom is the ability to choose how you spend your time.
If you want to reclaim your life, start by reclaiming your time.
How you spend your time is more important than how much you have.
People say that they work to make money to have more time later to do what they want…only to find out that the same work they do gives them less time. There's a better way.
Entrepreneurs start projects to free their time only to create a prison of time.
Historically, time management was built to work people harder in corporations to get more output per hour, minute, second ... not always a human flourishing tool (fact) ... those principles don’t always transfer to time freedom and flexibility and abundance for entrepreneurs.
You don’t want work life balance. You want work life freedom. You want a time centered seamless lifestyle. You want...time flexibility. The flexibility to spend your time where, when and how you want.
I’ve learned that people say they can’t put their goals at the center of life (family, time, travel, faith, health), but they have no problem putting work there at their expense. If that hurt, good. Change something.
I know people barely making ends meet who do whatever they want, whenever they want because they can and they are happy.
Every penny NOT spent on investing in yourself (after basic needs of course) may be a wasted future opportunity from missing learns and connects.
Check your life. Not boxes.
This is how you get through life: duck.
To escape fear, you have to go through it, not around.
Don’t rely on previous valiance to carry you over to the next day. This traps you in the past. Every day can be the best day of your life. Your best days are ahead of you.
If you’re about to break, go for broke.
Take your life to another level by ignoring the Joneses altogether.
When principles guide you, the shiny stuff isn’t a distraction; it’s just a pretty thing to admire as you walk by on the path to success.
I’ve learned that the long-game is the shortcut.
Breakdowns create breakthroughs.
Imagining your ideal life success story is LESS about WHAT you want to do and MORE about WHO you want to become.
If you are in a toxic environment, you will waste away.
Overworking is the Black Plague of the 21st Century.
It’s 100% easier to increase your time and freedom by eliminating the dumb things you do every day than to try to be 100% more productive doing more dumb things.
You don’t need more time, you need to act on creative, intent-based ideas.
Knowledge Strategy Execution
Motivation is a byproduct of action, not the catalyst for it.
Control your thoughts or your thoughts will control you.
Today is a new day. Stop living in the past.
Focus on the step in front of you, not the whole staircase.
You attract what you are, not what you want. If you want great, then be great.
Your goals should scare you a little and excite you a lot.
