Don’t look for the big, quick improvement. Seek the small improvement one day at a time. That’s the only way it happens — and when it happens, it lasts. The importance of reputation until automaticity cannot be overstated.
John Wooden
“We think of effortless performance as desirable, but it’s really a terrible way to learn.” – Robert Bjork
“Sixty percent of what you teach applies to everybody. The trick is how you get that sixty percent to the person. If I teach you, I’m concerned about what you think and how you think. I want to teach you how to learn in a way that’s right for you. My greatest challenge is not teaching Tom Brady but some guy who can’t do it at all, and getting them to a point where they can. Now that is coaching.”
Tom Martinez
High performers can do almost anything they set their heart and their mind to. But not every mountain is worth the climb. What differentiates high performers from others is their critical eye in figuring out what is going to be meaningful to their life experience. They spend more of their time doing things that they find meaningful, and this makes them happy.

Satisfaction is not the cause of great performance; it’s the result
Brendon Burchard
There is a tremendous difference between feeling the fear and doing it anyway and the freedom which comes from finding the space in yourself which is beyond fear. And the more time you spend living beyond fear, the sooner the answer to ‘What would I do if I wasn’t afraid?’ will become ‘Exactly what I’m doing now.'”
“When there are millions of dollars at stake, people sue each other and friendships are quickly thrown aside.”
High performance is not about a specific type of person. It’s not about winning the genetic lottery, how long you’ve worked, the shade of your skin, how many people are supporting you, or what you’re getting paid. It’s about your performance habits — which you have complete control over.

Why not compress it and have all the things you want to do in the future take place right now?
Steve Hardison
“…coaching shows us, almost always, that the truth we don’t think we can handle will actually be what wins the trust of another person.”
Brandon Craig
Having your own intention be clear is everything. People don’t like being manipulated. They don’t like bait and switch, or the indirect approach. They want to know what we want and why.

“Dream lofty dreams, and as you dream, so you shall become. Your vision is the promise of what you shall one day be; your ideal is the prophecy of what you shall at last unveil.”
James Allen
“Sometimes the fastest way to get back into the game is to expect something from yourself again.”

Great ideas are going to confuse other people. But I don’t need other people’s approval to move forward; I just move forward.
Steve Chandler
“When it comes to deals like this, or any negotiation really, the key is to display passion, know-how and determination. Get to the point quickly, be persistent and consistent and don’t rely too heavily on prompts, statistics and certainly not PowerPoint slides.”
Richard Branson
“It is very important to take risks in life and business, but they need to be calculated – there is no point in risking your neck for something with little chance of success.”
Richard Branson
