📣 Curious Quotes from the Author
“Once you set goals that really matter to you, you are no longer the same person. Real goals will affect almost everything you do all day long. And they will be with you wherever you go. Your handshake, your manner of dressing, the tone of your voice, the way you feel — all will change once you have goals. That’s because when your goals matter, everything you do becomes related to their accomplishment.”
“If you want to get more, you have to BECOME MORE!”
“Before I met Mr. Shoaff, I used to ask, “How much does it cost?” But he taught me to ask, “What is it worth?” When I started to base my life on value instead of price, all kinds of things began to happen.”
“Whether we are working to improve our health, wealth, personal achievement, or professional enterprise, the difference between triumphant success or bitter failure lies in the degree of our commitment to seek out, study, and apply those half-dozen things”
“What kind of person will you have to become to get all you want? In fact, why not write down a few thoughts on this in your notebook or journal. Write down the kinds of skills you’ll need to develop and the knowledge you’ll need to gain. The answers will give you some new goals for personal development.Remember this rule: Income Rarely Exceeds Personal Development.”
“TO HAVE MORE THAN YOU’VE GOT, BECOME MORE THAN YOU ARE.”
“The “guy” says, “I’ve got ten years’ experience. I don’t know why I’m not doing better.” What he hasn’t realized is that he doesn’t have ten years’ experience. What he has is one year’s experience repeated ten times. He hasn’t made a single improvement, a single innovation in nine years! Everybody”
“Another good time to reflect is at the end of major periods such as a week, a month, or a year. At the end of the week take a few hours for reflection to ponder the events of the past seven days. At the end of a month take a day. And at the end of a year take a week”
“Have you ever thought of life this way? That’s how it can become productive and ever-exciting. Don’t just live another year. Instead, gather up the years and invest them in the next one. Don’t just have another conversation. Instead, gather up all your past conversations and invest them in your next one.”
📚 Cognition of the Book’s Big Idea:
Wealth and pleasure do not appear out of nowhere; gaining them needs careful discipline and forethought. However, once you have put in the necessary effort to begin attaining your goals, you will reap the benefits for the rest of your life.
Make a game plan. Create a game plan ahead of time to make the best use of your time and progress toward your goals each week. First, locate a sheet of graph paper. Create vertical columns for the days your plan will cover, and then create a heading on the left labeled "activities." Make a list of everything you need to complete within those days.
Determine and plot each task's deadline on the sheet. Then determine how many days it will take to complete the task and schedule those days. Your game plan will then be ready for action, and sticking to it will be all that is required to achieve success!
