21. FIVE: The Strength of Certainty Success depends as much on what you say NO to. Clarity about the game you’re playing “It is as important to figure out what you’re not going to do as it is to know what you are going to do.” Michael Dell
22. SIX: The Power of Perseverance Continue playing the game Exit strategies are for passengers “Pilots don’t quit, they’re too busy having fun flying.” Passion and purpose When you play your natural game, you won’t quit. “You can never quit. Winners never quit and quitters never win.” Ted Turner

Wealth comes quickly when personal flow resonates with the flow of the market. “When you’re that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can’t really tell whether you have created the momentum or if it is creating you.” Annie Lennox
