Boom…Walk Good. 28all. Eya. ** The Warm-Up: “People will doubt you until you are successful. It’s just part of the game. If you fail, it’s not because you had too many doubters, it’s because you were simply not good enough.” ~Orange Book The Core: “Knowing the difference between who to detach from and who to be patient with…is everything.” ~@_Pammy_DS_ “If you don’t want to take orders from others, then you better be ready to take risks and work smarter than others.” ~Orange Book “I’m not interested in trying to work on people’s perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don’t take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.” ~Jim Brown “Sometimes you have to let everything go...purge yourself. If you are unhappy with anything, whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it. Because you will find that when you are free...your true self comes out.” ~Tina Turner “Spend more time in places where you breathe deeply, laugh loudly, and dance spontaneously. Decrease your time in places where rigidity is required, stifling truth is preferred, and dehydration is the norm.” ~Dr. Thema Bryant “The biggest generator of long-term results is learning to do things when you don’t feel like doing them. If you let excuses or emotion drive behavior, you’re cheating your future self. Put aside the excuses and start doing what you need to do.” ~Farnum Street “Morning workouts give the best results. If you secure the bag each morning before life’s unexpected interruptions occur, you’ll get a lot more workouts done each year. You won’t always like going to the gym but you’ll always be glad you did afterward.” ~Rueben Hewitt “No matter what type of life you want, you have to play the game. You want to win? Opt out? Doesn’t matter. You are in this game & you have to play it. You can hate the system but…Refusal to play will only hurt ‘you,’ and sooner or later, everyone figures it out.” ~Dr. Julie Gurner “Just because improvements aren’t visible doesn’t mean they aren’t happening. You’re not going to see the number change each time you step on the scale. You’re not going to finish a chapter each time you sit down to write. Early wins come easy. Lasting wins require a lifestyle.” ~James Clear, 3-2-1 “While I was unaware of it at the time, my real compensation for that job wasn’t monetary. It was learning about and getting comfortable with rejection. And as I would later realize, indifference to rejection is a fundamental part of being an entrepreneur.” ~Sam Zell, Am I Being Too Subtle?: Straight Talk From a Business Rebel “Just got a long message from a 22-year-old who said he can coach me to make better content. Note: Doesn’t make content. Or do this for a living. Said he’d do it in exchange for advice – so this is the advice I gave him: First pieces of advice: 1) Don’t say what you’re gonna do. Do it first. 2) Don’t say you’ll do it only in exchange for something. Give first. Don’t talk about what you’re gonna give. And if the person finds it valuable, they’ll ask for more. If they don’t, keep getting better until someone does.” ~Alex Hormozi “Risk is the ultimate differentiator. I have always had a deep and complex relationship with it. I am not a reckless person, but taking risks is really the only way to consistently achieve above-average returns—in life as well as in investments. My father proved that when he left Poland. I am probably more comfortable with risk than most people. That’s because I do as much as I can to understand it. To me, risk-taking rests on the ability to see all the variables and then identify the ones that will make or break you.” ~Sam Zell, Am I Being Too Subtle?: Straight Talk From a Business Rebel Last Set: “It is up to God to take revenge. Only God can judge. I don’t have to worry about getting even with anybody or taking out any kind of aggression on anybody. Doing that is a weakness, anyway.” ~Jim Brown Food For Thought: “When Marvin Gaye joined Motown, he went with his strengths. He wanted to work only in the studio. He hated touring and was sure he lacked the charisma and other gifts that made some musicians great onstage. This didn’t really fit the label’s strengths, and he struggled to find his footing. In 1962, Berry Gordy sent Gaye on tour with other Motown acts. While Gaye wasn’t naturally a performer, he was competitive. The tour managers discovered that if they put Little Stevie Wonder on just before Gaye, something extraordinary happened. Wonder was a crowd pleaser, a magician at getting fans excited. After a few shows, Gaye realized that he had to dramatically raise his on-stage game if he was going to be able to keep his gig. Two days after the tour ended, Gaye was in the studio recording what became his first Top 40 hit. He became known as much for his live performances as his music. His charisma was a skill, not something he was born with. It’s up to us if we want it to be.” ~Seth Godin, Stevie and Martin
