Nothing is as painful as regret.
Don’t beat yourself up if you fail – take satisfaction from giving it your best shot.
Don’t get down when you lose – you can’t win every race.
Don’t give up when they say no – try, try, try again.
If you must be sad about something, regret the things you haven’t done!
Over the years I’ve made every mistake in the book.
Bad investments, poor hires, ill-judged expansions are just three of the many blunders I have made.
The secret is learning from your mistakes, resolving to never make them again and ensuring your people don’t fall into the same traps.
We all make mistakes in business – it’s how we fix them that counts.
They say every business has three main stakeholders – people, customers and investors.
Of the three, your people are by far the most important.
If you inspire your people to be the best they can be, they will achieve great things for their clients.
Customers will buy more if they get great service, quality products and exceptional results.
If clients buy more, you will make more money and that’s what keeps investors happy.
You may have three stakeholders but it starts and ends with your people!
Selling by yelling is what advertisers used to do.
Yell today and customers won’t hear you.
They’ll tune you out like husbands do to nagging wives.
To be heard, you’ve got to have something meaningful to say.
To be meaningful, a brand has to have a purpose.
Making the world a better place is the highest purpose a brand can have!
Our personal happiness comes from the past, the future and the present.
Thinking about the old days can make us smile. Our dreams for the future can get us excited.
Looking back and looking forward is all well and good but we live mostly in the present.
To be happy, we need to take control of today.
Every day should be a happy day.
If it’s not – change it!
How do you make a dream come true?
Launching out from where you are and working towards your vision will not work.
If you start from where you are, you will end up losing your way.
It’s a road fought with dead ends and wrong turnings.
The only sure way of reaching the stars, is to start with your dream and work back.
You get out of life what you put into life.
The harder you work, the greater the payback.
The harder you think, the brighter your future will become.
Golfing great Arnold Palmer said: “The more I practice, the luckier I get!”
Lucky is what the complacent call the dedicated.

Is your website information heavy or inspiration heavy?
Information is a commodity. We’re drowning in the stuff.
You’re doomed if that’s all you’ve got.
The information age was yesterday. The inspiration age is today.
To set customers afire, you’ve got to inspire!
The only person worthy of your competition is yourself.
If only that were true!
We may not admit it, but we keep score on lots of things.
We constantly compete with business rivals, neighbours, friends, old school chums and family.
The battle ground can range from the amount we earn and the size of our house to the achievements of our kids.
Sometimes we win, sometimes we lose, sometimes we learn!
