You never achieve success unless you like what you are doing. :cool
Dale Carnegie
Here is an excerpt from a speech frequently called “The Man in the Arena,” delivered in 1910 in Paris by then President of the United States Theodore Roosevelt:
“It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, and comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming…’ who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.”
That is a hard core success quote!
My own quote “Pay no attention to the things wealth brings; Instead pay attention to things that bring wealth”
Far too often people get caught up in wanting all of the great things that someone else has, but instead of focusing on what that person had done to create the wealth they try to shortcut to the things that the person has.
Positive partners put you into a world of collective genius.–Richard Flint Growth Boot Camp

Every day, you’ll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside your safety net. Sure, it’s a lot easier to stay in your comfort zone… in my case, business suits and real estate… but sometimes you have to take risks. When the risks pay off, that’s when you reap the biggest rewards.

“As a cure for worrying, work is far better than whiskey. I always found that, if I began to worry, the best thing I could do was focus upon doing something useful and then work very hard at it. Soon, I would forget what was troubling me.”
Thomas Edison
I recently read an article on startups. It was about new internet businesses, but I think any new investor is a “startup” business. The advice was simple:
“Don’t give up.”

The biggest risks in life are the ones you don’t take.
I think selling techniques are basically the same in every country, except there are different cultures that have different methods of negotiating. But real estate is the same, whether it happens to be in Australia or if it happens to be in New York.

Here’s an interesting one I came across today:
Millionaires are not the smartest people around. If this were true all Mensa members would be Millionaires. Less than 1% of Mensa members are Millionaires. Being a millionaire has nothing to do with your IQ.
“I always say, ‘Come to America, go to community college and marry a Kennedy.’

When you make a big mistake and it costs you $500, you are not going to repeat that mistake. Think of it as a $500 educational investment. Then move on.
