2. The critical ingredient is GETTING OFF
YOUR BUTT AND DOING SOMETHING.
It's as simple as that.
A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE IDEAS, BUT
THERE ARE FEW WHO DECIDE TO DO
SOMETHING ABOUT THEM NOW.
Not tomorrow. Not next week.
BUT TODAY.
THE TRUE ENTREPRENEUR IS A DOER,
NOT A DREAMER.

4. Don’t settle for average.
Bring your best to the moment.
Then, whether it fails or
succeeds,
AT LEAST YOU KNOW YOU
GAVE ALL YOU HAD.
WE NEED TO LIVE THE BEST THAT’S IN US.

5. You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated.
In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know
WHO YOU ARE, what you can RISE FROM, how you can still come out of it.

6. Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go – PURGE
YOURSELF…
If you are unhappy with anything . . .
whatever is bringing you down,
GET RID OF IT.
Because you’ll find that when you’re free,
your true creativity, your true self comes out.

7. I have learned over the
years that when one’s
mind is made up,
THIS

8. It can be done,
BUT YOU HAVE TO
MAKE IT HAPPEN.
And no matter what, you have to CLING TO IT LIKE IT’S LIFE
ITSELF, if that’s what you really want to do.

with a series of
brilliantly

10. When everything remember that the
airplane takes off
seems to be going
against you,
AGAINST THE
WIND, not with it.

11. The key is to get started.
Too many people
don't start because
THEY'RE AFRAID
OF FAILING.
You will know failure –
KEEP GOING.
