Courage, like fear, is a habit. The more you do it, the more you do it, and this habit-of stepping up, of taking action-more than anything else, will move you in a different direction.

Effective leaders have the ability to consistently move themselves and others to action because they understand the “invisible forces” that shape us

If we surround ourselves with people who are successful, who are forward-moving, who are positive, who are focused on producing results, who support us, it will challenge us to be more and do more and share more. If you can surround yourself with people who will never let you settle for less than you can be, you have the greatest gift that anyone can hope for.

Expect change. Analyze the landscape. Take the opportunities. Stop being the chess piece; become the player. It's your move.

Never leave the site of a goal without first taking some form of positive action towards its attainment. Right now, take a moment to define the first steps you must take to achieve some goal. What can you do today to move forward?

You have to move from just working for money to a world where money works for you.
