“You can be young without money, but you can’t be old without it.
—TENNESSEE WILLIAMS”
“Sophisticated investors have always known this: it’s not what you earn, it’s what you keep that matters.”
“When a man with money meets a man with experience, the man with the experience ends up with the money, and the man with the money ends up with the experience.”
“Before you speak, listen. Before you write, think. Before you spend, earn. Before you invest, investigate. Before you criticize, wait. Before you pray, forgive. Before you quit, try. Before you retire, save. Before you die, give.
—WILLIAM A. WARD”
“By committing to a simple but steady code of savings, by drawing down on your income each pay period and paying yourself first, there’s a way to tap the power of compound savings and let it take you to unimaginable heights.
The most difficult thing is the decision to act, the rest is merely tenacity.
–AMELIA EARHART”
“You simply have to decide what percentage of your income you will set aside for you and your family and no one else.”
“That’s the whole secret: earn more, spend less, and automate it."
“A part of all I earn is mine to keep.’ Say it in the morning when you first arise. Say it at noon. Say it at night. Say it each hour of every day. Say it to yourself until the words stand out like letters of fire across the sky. Impress yourself with the idea. Fill yourself with the thought. Then take whatever portion seems wise. Let it be not less than one-tenth and lay it by. Arrange your other expenditures to do this if necessary. But lay that portion first.”

“The goal in investing is to get the maximum net return for a given amount of risk (and, ideally, the lowest cost).”
“We can all count on ups and downs in the future. Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain. It’s about removing the fear in this area of your life so you can focus on what matters most.”
“A successful Wall Street broker named William Travers is admiring the many beautiful yachts while on vacation in Newport, Rhode Island. Each yacht he inquires about happens to belong to a broker, banker, or trader.
He asks, “Where are the customers’ yachts?”
Success leaves clues. “So to find a strategy that works, you go to the best; those who have proven results for the long term.”
“But the people who make change happen, who get stuff done, who accomplish, who shift, who grow, who learn, they take their strategy and attach a new story to it: a story of empowerment, a story of “I can and I will” instead of “I can’t and I won’t.” It goes from being a story of limitation to a story of empowerment: “I will not be one of the many who can’t, I will be one of the few who do.”
“Money is nothing more than a reflection of your creativity, your capacity to focus, and your ability to add value and receive back. If you can find a way to create value—that is, add value for a massive number of people—you will have an opportunity to have a massive amount of economic abundance in your life.”
“Remember, you know the answer, and the secret is simple: change your story, change your life. Divorce your story of limitation and marry the truth. You can make anything happen.”
“Remember: we all get what we tolerate. So stop tolerating excuses within yourself, limiting beliefs of the past, or half-assed or fearful states.”
“when you have a huge goal in your head—if in your gut you don’t believe it’s going to happen—your brain rejects it. It’s like living a lie.”
“And always remember the ultimate truth: life is not about money, it’s about emotion. The real goal is to have the lifestyle you want, not the things. When you die, someone else gets those things anyway. They’re not yours. I have no illusions: as much as I cherish and enjoy “my” resort in Fiji, I know I’m just the caretaker. Someday someone else will own this property. But I love that I have nurtured it into a destination where people from all over the world come to experience joy, romance, and adventure. It’s part of my legacy—and that’s what gives me joy. Attaining possessions is not the goal. Money itself is not the goal. Our worth is not measured by the weight of our bank accounts but, rather, by the weight of our souls.”
“The reality is, it doesn’t matter where we start. It’s how we finish that counts.”
“The only person you should try to be better than is the person you were yesterday.
—ANONYMOUS”
“Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.
—WINSTON CHURCHILL”
“Remember, it’s not conditions but decisions that determine our lives. Disappointment can drive us, or it can defeat us. I choose to be driven by it—and I’m hoping you take the same view. Most people don’t even get to this point in their planning, because they don’t want the letdown they’re afraid they’ll experience once they run their numbers.”
“One of my earliest mentors, Jim Rohn, always taught me, “What you get will never make you happy; who you become will make you very happy or very sad.”
“Learn to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.”
“All you have to do to earn more money in the same amount of time is simply become more valuable.”
“For things to change, you have to change. For things to get better, you have to get better.” Retool or be the fool. Get rid of your story of limitation and shift into high gear.”
“if you have been at a poker table for a while, and you still don’t know who the sucker is: it’s you!”
