Notable Quotes

“Your ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification is the key to success.” — Brian Tracy

“Money is the byproduct of value. It is not something you go out and get. That's not how you think about money. You think about what kind of value can I contribute? And you think in terms of value. There are only two ways to make money. You can contribute more value, or you can make yourself more valuable by learning new skills. When you think about money that way, you know exactly how to get more of it. It's. It's not a mystery anymore.”   — Michael Tracy
