‘Success is something a lot of people see as a thing that they have to have or wait for, whereas people who are successful don’t have that attitude, success is an outcome of decisions.’
‘You’re always successful, it just depends on how you look at it and what you do and what your outcome is and whether you're working towards or away from it. Success is about making consistent choices.’
‘The past doesn’t exist, the future is only a projection, so all we have is now.’
‘The key to success is blowing out the notions of beliefs and limits and that conditioning you’ve been brought up with and being more adaptable and flexible in your approach.’
