- The universe favors creation over stagnation.
- When you venture out on your own people question you and don’t understand you. Being misunderstood comes with the territory.
- Learn as you go. If you can help people get results faster than they would get them alone you can charge them for the service. It’s like helping someone learn how to ride a bike. You can teach someone how to ride a bike even if you haven’t won the tour of France. You don’t need to be world class to teach.
- Business Strategy: Find a business that is selling something complimentary. For example the author wanted to tutor kids for SAT prep. He partnered with elite admission coaches that private schools work with to groom students to get into Ivy League schools. They had in house test prep.

- Creatively leverage your skills to get to the top more quickly.
- Most entrepreneurs confuse motion with progress and work on things that don’t move the needle.
- I wonder how many people wait until things are perfect in order to do their life’s work.
- You have to believe in yourself especially when others don’t.
- Sometimes taking an unconventional path means you won’t be able to see every step of the staircase.
- Sometimes you have to work at something for a long time without any apparent progress before you get a break. Patience plus persistence with the right things = growth (similar to Bamboo growth.)
- If you’re making a lot of money and aren’t excited, can you really say your successful?
- It is not the strongest that survice, nor the most intelligent, but the ones that are most adaptable to change.
- One stream of income isn’t enough anymore. The world is too expensive.
- Imagine how many people you could help if you have more money.
- Why don’t most of us have multiple streams of income?
- Here’s a little secret: Nearly everyone feels incompetent at what they do for some period of time. Sometimes we feel incompetent for years or indefinitely. We don’t ever feel capable enough or deserving.
- Some people failt to recognize their own accomplishments and are constantly worried about being exposed as a fraud.

- The purpose of a business, the very purpose, the only reason it exists in fact is to solve a problem. ON a day to day basis you should be thinking about things people around you struggle with. Then find ways to solve that problem through an idea, a device, a service, or even a piece of software.
- Always think of a way to serve other people and get paid in return.
- First look for things you’re already good at like hobbies or skills. Everybody has something they are good at.
- The problem is most of us take our skills for granted. We don’t appreciate the fact that the knowledge and abilities we have at our disposal could be very valuable to someone else. Maybe your bilingual or you could play an instrument. Maybe your great at organizing closets or you’re good at cooking or have completed a few Triathlons.
- Time is the only real commodity we have. We make money so that we can pay other people to do things for us in order to gain more time or to save time. It all comes back to time.
- If you spent considerable amount of time to learn how to do something in school or as a hobby that time has immense value and rather than learning to do what you’ve done many people will be happy to pay you in order to get what they want more quickly.
- If you have a boss you are not making as much money as you can be.
- If people keep asking you for help, advice, or insights in an area, there is a good chance other people will ask you for help.

- How much money can you make? Teach beginners how to get started in the industry. With 1000 subscribers, you typically can engage 5 percent of 1,000 people. 5% of 1000 is 50 sales. That means you can make $10,000 from a $200 course. If you charge $2,000 a course and you sell to 1% which is 10 people those sales will make you $20,000
- Look for ways to scale your knowledge through training.
- The secret to standing out. Why would people be willing to listen to your advice? The answer is community. You have to create a community around your work. A community is a place where people understand us.
- To start building a community he would respond to every comment on his blog. Send personalized video responses. Email people. Call on the phone and ask what he should write about. He would do this for his nearly 500 subscribers.

- Events are just events and the impact they have on our lives is almost entirely chained to how we understand or perceive them.
