My company survives because I've learned to respect the ideas of people younger than me and recognize when my wisdom is obsolete.

It's easier to aim to please and say what others want to hear than to form an opinion and fight for it, even if it means taking a risk or losing your job.

Arrogant or critical people are often people with low self-esteem who are afraid of taking risks. That's because, if you learn something new, you are then required to make mistakes in order to fully understand what you have learned.

Over a 10-year period, 99 out of 100 new entrepreneurs will fail. Only one will be left standing as others get pushed out of the market or burn out from working so hard. It's really sad.

It's not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for.

The thing I always say to people is this: 'If you avoid failure, you also avoid success.'

Finding your entrepreneurial spirit and making it strong is more important than the idea or business you are developing.

If you want to change who you are, begin by changing the size of your dream. Even if you are broke, it does not cost you anything to dream of being rich. Many poor people are poor because they have given up on dreaming.

The main cause of poverty or financial struggle is fear and ignorance, not the economy or the government or the rich.

Even when you win you lose... if you didn’t learn something.

Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money.

Don't be afraid of your worst times. If you learn from them, you'll look back on them as the best times.

Before you invest in something, invest the time to understand it

One of the reasons the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class struggles in debt is because the subject of money is taught at home, not at school.

The richest people in the world build networks. Everyone else is trained to look for work, that's why there are two types of people today. Those who build their own dreams and those who build someone else dreams.

Take responsibility for your finances or get used to taking orders for the rest of your life. You're either a master of money or a slave to it. Your choice.

The truth is that money doesn't make you rich; knowledge does.

The main reason people struggle financially is because they have spent years in school but learned nothing about money. The result is that people learn to work for money...but never learn to have money work for them.

You cannot be all things to all people. Be unique. Be different. Give to others what you want yourself. And do what you were made to do.

If you avoid failure, you also avoid success.

More important than the HOW we achieve financial freedom, is the WHY. Find YOUR reasons why you want to be free and wealthy.
