The number one risk that rich people are willing to take is to be paid for their results rather than or in addition to their time. They choose to take a chance on themselves. They believe in their own self-discipline and their own ability to produce results.

Why do so many of us succumb to fear? Because it’s more convenient and more comfortable for us to let our dreams disappear than to muster up the discipline and the work ethic to go out and transform them into reality.

Are we going to give up, or are we going to be the kind of people who stand up and do what it takes, even if we don’t feel like doing it?

You are much more likely to act your way into healthy thinking than to think your way into healthy acting.

Ignore the noise. Conquer the critical. Manage the minutiae.

You were put here on earth to do something that no one else can do. It is yours and yours alone to complete. It requires you to be your highest self and if you don’t do that thing, you are going to inhibit those around you from doing theirs. As a Multiplier, it is your obligation to spend time on things today that create more opportunity for those around you tomorrow. It is to do the things that are right, not only for now, but for the future.

Success comes down to choosing the hard right over the easy wrong. Consistently.

There is always an incredible amount of things vying for our attention at home. I’m not saying you should never do the laundry, or pay attention to the kids, but for most of us, we’re not present to how much time we spend on those. Anything that wastes your time is a waste of money.

If you’re like most people in the world today, then you have read fewer than five books cover to cover in your lifetime. According to one major American publisher, 95% of all books that are purchased are never completely read.

Your highest obligation to other people is to be your highest self.
