The biggest opportunities often appear to be mistakes
It's not about how hard you work; it's about the results you get
The most powerful resource to generate success is you!
Know your purpose
Look where you want to go
Routines are magic
I've already lost, so I have nothing to lose
Where your focus goes, results flow
Done is better than perfect
Your beliefs about yourself are BS
Invest in growth
Learn, have fun and maintain health
