Remember: If you're not experiencing failure, you're not working hard enough!

People become successful because they get the important things done. They become successful by producing high quality work, and delivering it on time. They become successful because they dot their "i's" and cross their "t's." They become successful by doing the things they're supposed to do, doing them well, and getting them done on time! Successful people get results!

To be successful you've got to have a dream, a vision, a burning passion, a magnificent obsession. This dream, goal, obsession has to become your prime motivator. It takes enthusiasm, commitment, pride, a willingness to work hard, a willingness to go the extra mile, a willingness to do whatever has to be done in order to get the job done.

If people knew how hard I worked at my art, they would not consider me a genius.

Everyone who has achieved financial independence will tell you that at least in the early days you have to work smarter and harder. The price of success must be paid in full, and it must be paid in advance. There are no shortcuts.

If people only knew how hard I work to gain my mastery, it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
