• Prepare For Success

  Set yourself up for success by being prepared.

  Don’t rush into things hastily when you don’t have to.

  Take your time and plan things out.

  The more time you spend trying to get things right, the easier it will be to execute your plan.

  The work you do on the front end will pay off later.

  There is no point in setting yourself up to fail simply because you are in a hurry.

  Don’t make something an emergency that does not have to be.

• Maybe Later

  It’s easy to get so caught up in our work that time passes us by.

  We imagine that we will be able to catch up later.

  We tell ourselves that our loves ones, our health, and our dreams will be there when we are done.

  We’ll pay attention to them later because our work needs us now.

  Maybe we’ve got it all wrong.

  Maybe our priorities are all mixed up.

  What are we working for if not for our loved ones, our health, and our dreams?

• Start Your Day

  Each morning, you get to decide what kind of person you’re going to be.

  Do something that matters.

  Be someone you’re proud of.

  Don’t waste time with distraction.

  Other people’s agendas can wait.

  Set yourself up for success.

  Start your day doing something that changes you for the better.

• True Wealth

  The goal is not to have more for the sake of more.

  The goal is to have more of what matters.

  Decide what is truly of value to you and seek that with all your power.

  Protect that with all of your strength.

  The rest is merely distraction.

  True wealth is not the result of having more possessions, power, or prestige.

  True wealth is knowing what matters and having that in abundance.

• Your Creative Compass

  When you reach a creative fork in the road, follow your enthusiasm.

  All other roads are dead ends.

  They will either take you somewhere you don’t want to be, somewhere others have already been, or both.

  But your enthusiasm is uniquely your own.

  It is your internal compass and, as such, it will guide you to your own personal true north.

  Let your enthusiasm guide you to your creative destiny.

  By following that which excites you, you will inevitably find your own way.
