Time is more valuable then money. You can get more
money, you can never get more time.
Things don't just happen.
Ideas can be life changing.
Why are some people inspired and others are not? Some people do and some people don't. Some people change and some people don't. Don't try and figure it out.
Be thankful for what you have. Everything you need for success is available in America!
Don't be cynical about your chances.
Don't be a follower, be a student. Take advice, not orders. Make sure what you do is a product of your own conclusion.
PHILOSOPHY
Use your mind. Your philosophy will determine everything.
Don't blame government, taxes, traffic, weather, circumstances, company policy, etc for your problems.
If you blame all of the above for your problems, what else is there? That stuff is the only thing you have. If you blame everything you have, it's called mistake colossal.
Refine your philosophy today. Start immediately!
Failure is a few errors in judgment repeated every day!
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. What if that's true? It's easy to do (and not to do).
A Hershey bar a day does not do the same thing. You have to be smarter in your philosophy.
Just because disaster doesn't fall on us the first day doesn't mean it's not coming!
What will the errors in my present judgment cost me down the road?
Guy has an empty bank account, probably has high cholesterol. He has never paid attention to either.
Success is a few simple disciplines practiced every day.
Eliminate errors and replace with new disciplines.
Don't start with something staggering, start with something easy. Eat an apple a day. Walk around the block. Make one sales call.
You could and you should and you don't/wont. Don't means you might be careless, won't means you are stubborn and lazy.
Work on your craft, work on yourself. Personal change starts with your philosophy.
Start where it's easy, then move to more complicated issues.
ATTITUDE
Attitude is how you feel about the past. Past is a school meant to teach you.
How you feel about the future. Set goals.
How you feel about everyone else. It takes everyone to make an economy.
There has been nothing like America in 6,000 years. People from all over the world want to be here.
If you have an appreciation for America, you will draw from it.
Appreciate yourself. Understanding self worth is the beginning of the process. If one of us can do it, we all can do it.
Life change starts with education. Learn where you messed up and correct that behavior. Be your own best teacher.
If your life isn't going well and you live in America, you messed up!
ACTIVITY
Philosophy + attitude = activity.
Put wisdom and attitude into labor.
Do what you can and do the best you can!
What am I not doing that would be easy to do? Answering that question will greatly change my wealth and my health.
Few errors in judgment equals disaster. A few added disciplines equals wealth.
Hang out with problem solvers. Have a problem, no problem. Read as many books as it takes. Wake up as early as it takes, Get as much information as it takes.
You could change, you should change, you won't change = accumulated disaster.
Could, should, will.
Do what you can. Make a list of stuff you could do but don't. Start cleaning up that list.
Take action on neglect. Fix errors in discipline. Do the best that you can.
It's not the economy that will determine your next few years, it is your philosophy.
RESULTS
Take a measure on your philosophy, attitude and activity.
How much money have you saved and invested?
How many books have you read in the last 90 days?
The wisdom of the world is available to change your life and your future. You can develop any skill you want and earn the income you want.
How many classes to improve or develop your skills have you taken in the last six months?
Results is the name of the game.
Make measurable progress in reasonable time. We demand it of our children, why not ourselves! 4th grade is only allowed to be one year.
Check on your progress, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.
If you live in America and are broke, that should be enough to turn your life around.
Success is a numbers game.
LIFESTYLE
After applying philosophy, attitude, activity and results, begin to fashion "the good life:.
If you wish to be wealthy, study wealth. Put together your economic plan.
If you wish to be happy, study happiness. Happiness is something you design and practice.
Don't be lazy in learning.
If you are leaving a tip and two amounts pop in your head, always go with the higher amount. Become the higher thinking person.
PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT
It's not what happens, the key is what you do about it.
What you have at this moment, you attracted by the person you've become.
If you will change, everything will change with you.
Don't wish for less problems, wish for more skills.
You don't get paid for your time, you get paid for your value to the marketplace.
Your goal should be to earn more money in the same amount of time. Become a more valuable asset.
America is an economic ladder to climb.
Remember, you can be a valuable member of your community and still not be a valuable member to the marketplace.
If you aren't that valuable (economic terms) you won't make much money.
Don't wait for a raise, make yourself more valuable.
Learn to work harder on yourself then you do on your job.
Work hard on your job and you will make a living. Work hard on yourself and you will make a fortune.
Start making yourself more valuable today, latest tomorrow or you never will.
Economic forecast...opportunity mixed with difficulty.
Take full responsibility for your life. Don't apologize if you have done well and don't blame anyone else if you have not.
PHYSICAL
Take care of yourself.
Treat your body like a temple.
NUTRITION
Some people don't do well because they don't fell well.
Vitality is a key part of success.
APPEARANCE
You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
God looks at people on the inside, the rest of us look at people on the outside (at least before they know you).
People shouldn't judge you by the way you look but they do!
Make sure your outside is a reflection of your inside.
SPIRITUAL
Do not neglect your values and virtues.
Don't sell out.
MENTAL
Human development takes time!
COMMUNISM VS. CAPITALISM
Capital belongs in the hands of the state vs. capital belongs in the hands of the people.
Communism taught that people are too dumb to know what to do with capital. Government should take capital away and give it to the all knowing state.
Let the state be the servant of the people, not the people to the state!
START A LIBRARY
Start acting intelligent.
Don't be casual in learning.
Learning is the beginning of everything.
Don't be a follower, be a student.
Your mind needs to be well balanced. Read about history, philosophy, novels, biographies, accounting, law, economics, culture and spirituality.
Don't just read the easy stuff.

Set the types of goals that will make something out of you to achieve them.

Don’t compromise…Judas got the money by becoming a traitor!

MONEY
Spend only 70% of every dollar you earn.
Set up your ideal scenario and work towards it. It can start at 97, 1, 1 & 1.
It’s not the amount that counts, it’s the plan.
Easy to learn when the numbers are small.
10% charity (when you can afford to)
10% active capital (make a profit yourself) Buy, sell or render a service.
