Sometimes you dance with a partner, and sometimes you dance alone. But the important thing is to keep dancing.

What if you, too, were to greet every interaction in your life with the question 'What's the potential opportunity that this is?'

Think of fear as a 2-year-old child who doesn't want to go grocery shopping with you. Because you must buy groceries, you'll just have to take the two year old with you. Fear is no different. In other words, acknowledge that fear exists but don't let it keep you from doing important tasks.

If you are going to be successful, you need to give up the phrase, "I can't" & all of its cousins, such as "I wish I were able to.

Keep in mind that part of growing up is dealing with difficult issues, and the benefits can be great if you have the courage to ask for help. Human beings are not designed to go through life alone. No one has to bear the burden of tough times all by themselves.

You only have control over three things in your life-the thoughts you think, the images you visualise, & the actions you take.

If you are not moving closer to what you want in sales (or in life), you probably aren't doing enough asking.

To change bad habits, we must study the habits of successful role models.

If you take the approach that “good” is not an accident - that everyone and everything that shows up in your life is there for a reason - you’ll begin to see every event (no matter how difficult or challenging) as a chance for enrichment and advancement in your life.

There are only two words that will always lead you to success. Those words are yes and no. Undoubtedly, you've mastered saying yes. So start practicing saying no. Your goals depend on it!

Every time you take a risk or move out of your comfort zone, you have a great opportunity to learn more about yourself and your capacity.

Gratitude is the single most important ingredient to living a successful and fulfilled life.

As you begin to take action toward the fulfillment of your goals and dreams, you must realize that not every action will be perfect. Not every action will produce the desired result. Not every action will work. Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.

Everything you want is on the other side of fear.

Decide what it is you want, write it down, review it constantly, and each day do something that moves you toward those goals.

If you love your work, if you enjoy it, you're already a success.

Make a conscious effort to surround yourself with positive, nourishing, and uplifting people -- people who believe in you, encourage you to go after your dreams, and applaud your victories.

The formula is simple - do more of what is working, do less of what isn't, and try on new behaviors to see if they produce better results.

Research has shown over and over again that the more you acknowledge your past successes, the more confident you become in taking on and successfully accomplishing new ones.

Making mistakes, getting it almost right, and experimenting to see what happens are all part of the process of eventually getting it right.

You and you alone are responsible for taking actions to create the life of your dreams. Nobody else can (or will) do it for you.
