  • Great to be successful. Even better to be kind.
  • Being productive is an excellent vehicle for happiness.
  • It doesn’t really matter what others think of you–only what you think of you.
  • Do your work like it’s the most important work in the world. Because it is.
  • A superb reputation takes years to build–and minutes to lose.
  • There’s no point in being rich but sick.
  • Adore your parents. You’ll miss them when they’re gone.
  • If you’re not making things better you’re making things worse.
  • Being optimistic and enthusiastic never goes out of style.
  • Be on time if you can’t be there early.
  • Remember that the only real failure is quitting too early.
  • Smile more often. Your face will thank you.
  • Leadership’s not about a title but about a way of doing things.
  • Eat less food, get more done.
  • All elite achievers are obsessed with being the best.
  • Your daily behavior reveals your deepest beliefs.
  • Sweat the small stuff. Mastery is the result of 1000 tiny victories.
  • Your fears are liars. Your doubts are traitors.
  • Without a daily plan you’re lost in the woods.
  • The world belongs to unreasonable people.
  • Love your family like there’s no tomorrow because one day there won’t be.
  • When you show up as your real self, you inspire people to do the same.
  • The fastest way to get respect is to give respect.
  • The marketplace always rewards originality. Don’t be a mindless clone.
  • Until your vision becomes your obsession, nothing ever changes.
  • Enthusiasm is contagious.
  • All great projects require sacrifice, some suffering and a lot of discomfort. But they’re worth it.
  • Better to have 3 awesome friends than 10,000 digital ones.
  • Spend more time in nature.
  • Spend more time in silence.
  • Don’t let a stained past spoil your spotless future.
  • To double your income, triple your investment in personal development.
  • Elite achievers honor the value of every passing moment.
  • Too much entertainment is a symptom of a person without a clear vision and a burning ambition.
  • Less ego, more service.
  • Remember that listening to someone deeply and sincerely is a giant act of power.
  • An addiction to distraction is the death of creative production.
  • A problem only becomes a problem when you start to view it as a problem.
  • Don’t just parent your children–develop them.
  • Success is less about luck and more about practice.
  • What you give away comes back to you in a river.
  • Money is the inevitable consequence of value delivered to other human beings.
  • To have what few have, do what few do.
  • Think for yourself.
  • To have an amazing company, hire only amazing people.
  • Being happy makes you more productive, creative and exceptional.
  • Don’t be selfish. Too many people think that’s cool. It’s not.
  • Remember that your environment shapes your thinking, which drives your performance.
  • Loyalty in one relationship breeds loyalty in every relationship (including the relationship you have with yourself).
  • Read Walter Isaacson’s biography on Steve Jobs. It’s one of the best books I’ve ever read (and contains hundreds of lessons on entrepreneurship, innovation, inspiration and life).
  • Being scared is part of being alive. Accept it. And walk through it.
  • Know that every massive achievement began with a humble beginning.
  • Aim for the company of icons. Playing small with your talent is disrespectful to your potential.
  • Show love to your customers by giving them 10X what they expect. These are the people who feed you and your family.
  • Be a person with a fiercely strong character. And stand for the highest of honor.
  • Stop beating yourself up for not being perfect. No one is.
  • One of the biggest reasons people don’t reach world-class is that they’re too good at giving up.
  • Everyone you’ll meet today has a story to share, a lesson to teach and a gift to reveal.
  • No idea works until you start doing the work.
  • As I wrote in The Leader Who Had No Title: You can make excuses. Or you can be phenomenal. But you can’t do both.
  • Your life shows us what you’ve settled for.
  • No master was brilliant at many things. Focus. Focus. Focus.
  • Jealously is the price ambition pays for success.
  • If you’re not careful, making money can become really costly.
  • Family first.
  • Your work is your craft. Your life is your art.
  • When you let go of your dreams, you die while still alive.
  • Don’t be a critic. If you have nothing encouraging to say, stay silent.
  • Potential unexpressed turns to pain.
  • Measure your success via your impact, not your income.
  • Life’s best pleasures are life’s simplest ones.
  • Growth happens when you push past your comfort zone.
  • If you don’t believe you can achieve something then you won’t do the work to achieve it and so you won’t get it and then you’ll say “see, I couldn’t achieve it.” Belief is that powerful.
  • Gratitude is the antidote to fear.
  • Action is the solution to procrastination.
  • Dream big. Start small. Act now.
  • As you become more successful, become more humble.
  • Say please and thank you and sorry when you should.
  • Don’t wait for lucky breaks. Go make your lucky breaks.
  • I learned from Warren Buffett that extreme achievers focus on the value you’ll receive versus the cost of the product.
  • As I teach at The 48 Hour Transformation every June: “Small daily improvements over time lead to stunning results.”
  • Watch the documentary “Jiro Dreams of Sushi”. It will inspire you to be the Picasso of your industry.
  • Persistence is more valuable than intelligence.
  • No one will believe in you until you first believe in you.
  • As someone said to me at one of my presentations a few years ago: “Health is the crown on the well person’s head that only the ill person can see.”
  • Build your entire life around just 5 priorities (your “Big 5″). Any more and you’re diluting your focus, time and talent (and sabotaging your success).
  • Cut yourself some slack. No one’s productive all the time. Farmers plant seeds and then let the field sit fallow for a season. That’s when the real growth happens.
  • Be honest. People will trust what you say, sell and do.
  • Hard work is a force multiplier.
  • Be kinder than necessary.
  • Fears you run toward run away.
  • Look for the best in people and they’ll reach higher to deliver their best to you.
  • Less talk. More do.
  • You become your conversations. Choose your associations extremely well.
  • If you take yourself too seriously, no one will take you seriously.
  • Just because you couldn’t do it yesterday doesn’t mean you can’t do it today.
  • In the end, we never regret doing what was difficult.
  • Life is short. Help more people.
