Progress often masquerades as trouble.

I, like Don Quixote, have fought many a windmill.

We all have baggage from our upbringing! That's life!

We're all self-made, but only successful people admit it.

My candor has gotten me in a lot of trouble over the years!

All my life, I was always in a hurry! I was always hustling!

We are only as emotionally strong as our deepest/biggest secret!

All you need is the desire, passion, and will to fulfil your dreams!

Life without dreams is like a bird with a broken wing - it can't fly.

Don't set time limits for achieving goals. They should transcend time.

Entrepreneurship is enduring pain for a long time without relinquishing.

High performance people take action quickly and change their mind slowly!

High-performance people have larger, more expanded comfort zones than most!

People want to be led by strong leaders, and good leaders are constant students.

In late May 1993, I gave my first QLA Seminar at the Sheraton Hotel in Los Angeles.

We cannot change the past, only recover from it. And perhaps learn its cruel lessons.

It is extremely gratifying to see success like exhibited by the founders of Instagram!

Good leaders make sense of change in the world... then imparts that insight to the team.

Wishing, hoping, and dreaming without an action plan - is nothing more than a pipe dream!

I have been following what is now called the 'Spartan Way' long before it became popular!

Once you learn to make money, it is not that hard... what's hard is to stay excited about it.

I coach my mentees to act as if they are invincible - to act as if they could accomplish anything!

The road to success is always under construction... there are lots of pot holes but no traffic jams.

QLA is not about filling your brain with information - it is starting a fire within your heart and soul!

The truth is, I almost always did accomplish what I said I would - in the face of overwhelming obstacles!

If you don't embrace a workload others would consider crazy, then your goal doesn't mean that much to you.

Virtually all big law firms have good to super-good lawyers. All big law firms don't have great litigators.

By definition, to work with me, you need thicker skin and must be OK with a certain amount of verbal abuse!

Good lawyers win so-so lawsuits. Great lawyers can win lawsuits in which you have little or no chance to win.

Fear of failure is caused by lack of self-esteem and confidence. Dealing with fear is the key to super success.

There's no seminar in the world that will give you multi million-dollar advice on building a business from scratch!

The best form of customer service is self service. Constantly empower customers to get their own answers themselves.

I could not be more proud of the countless lives that I have changed since I began my coaching and mentoring career!

The more emotional distractions you have the harder it is to accomplish your goals - especially at the extreme levels!

I have always known I had talent, LOL, but to be called a 'talent' feels a little strange - but well within my comfort zone!

Of course I have said, till I am blue in the face - people don't lack goals, passion, grit, or drive - they lack leadership!

I could write a book describing what differentiates the high performance person from all the rest! Hell, I could write volumes!

You will definitely encounter lots of resistance on the road to super success, but don't let others stop you from reaching your goals.

We must all remember life doesn't have to be fair for us to succeed if we take change and become masters and creators of our own destiny.

As I have said many times - no 1 loves me as much as I love myself! And if you can't really love yourself, you can't love anything you do!

Year-end goals are terrific! Affirmations with goals are even better! And goals, affirmations, along with visualization is even more effective!

My time is much too precious to be wasted on people who merely want to talk about being a high performance person and can't or won't take action!

I have said many times: We have self-esteem or don't, based on how we were raised! Self-esteem is normally produced in your first 7-8 years of life.

Next time, you question what you are doing - ask yourself? What could I do more? In most cases, extra time will be the greatest leverage you can apply!

I have said countless times high performance people are never satisfied with what they do or how they do it! Hence, I am always endeavouring to improve.

When I volunteered for the draft as a 20-year-old, mischievous guy at the height of the Vietnam War, most thought I was destined to pass from this earth early!

It took me 8 years to graduate from undergraduate school because I kept 'communism from your door steps' for 3 1/2 years in between while serving in the U.S. Army.

A famous man once said, 'A sure formula for failure is to try and please everyone.' Some might say I built a career on doing just the opposite of pleasing everyone.

Now, admittedly, my power of concentration is and always has been extraordinary since my army training! In fact, other people say it is legendary and almost cosmic!

Never start small where goals are concerned. You'll make better decisions - and find it much easier to work a lot harder - when your ultimate goal is ultimate success.
