How to "change the world" in two words: S.T.A.R.T. N.O.W.1. START - Serve. Thank. Ask. Receive. Trust.2. NOW - No Opportunity Wasted

If you want an incredibly passionate, happy, ALIVE business_don__ overcomplicate things. Once all is said and done, the foundational elements of a successful business are very simple: respect, service, value and sales. Comparatively, everything else is froth.

People LOVE change (when it's about changing others). People HATE change (when it's about changing themselves).

It's called entrepreneurSHIP, not entrepreneurSIT. Don't wait. Just ship.

People who suffer the most often inflict the most pain onto others. Compassion can be found through understanding this. When someone is internally suffering, sometimes the only reality they know is that of pain and thus their only knowledge is how to be a victim or an abuser. That__ all they are able to communicate. Holding onto the thorn of resentment does not help them or you, but fostering compassion and forgiveness will.

Mastery of impulse is all about self-discipline and choice. The mind is a powerful tool with which we have the ability to be in control of ourselves.

When faced with contrast, take nothing personally and don__ try to defend yourself. Defending one__ self is a vibrational relative of guilt. People will think what they like; do not feed fuel to the fire by reacting. Simply ask questions for clarity and in response say __s that so?_ Take responsibility for the energy you brought to the situation, acknowledge the illusions without attachment, and move forward. Other people__ opinions are none of your business. Remember that each person is on their own unique path, and the mirror of contrast you hold up to them may be exactly what is necessary for their conscious growth at that time.

One can have no smaller or greater mastery than mastery of oneself.

Rhetorical question: Did you get to where you are by accepting the status quo?I didn't.

Success is a process, not an event.

Are you in love with your idea more than your reality? Change that.

When the going gets tough, people bail. When the going gets easy, people get lazy. Honest, smart, hard work is the way to get results.

The two things that truly belong to ourselves are our thoughts and actions.

Two questions I'm pondering:1. If money didn't exist, would you still chase your dreams?2. If money didn't exist, would you still keep your job?If the answer is "YES" to both, you're on track. If the answer is "NO" to either, what needs to change?

Perfection is born of imperfection.

Stop giving people the power to control your smile, your worth, your attitude and your day. Don__ give anyone that much power over your life.

Life is fleeting we must master it in the present.
