Self Education

t’s cool to have a G.E.D. A High School diploma is grand, and it’s really awesome of you have a college education. But regardless of those things, it’s what you do with them that counts! Some of the most successful and wealthy people have no formal education.

Here are some quotes from some of the world’s most successful business leaders, and as you can see – every single quote centers on YOU going out and making it happen:

Shoe Dog – Phil Knight

“The cowards never started and the weak died along the way. That leaves us, ladies and gentlemen. Us.”

Think and Grow Rich – Napolean Hill

“Tell me how you use your spare time, and how you spend your money, and I will tell you where and what you will be in ten years from now.”

The Millionaire Next Door – Thomas J Stanley

“Wealth is more often the result of a lifestyle of hard work, perseverance, planning, and, most of all, self-discipline.”

Rich Dad, Poor Dad – Robert Kiyosaki

“Complaining about your current position in life is worthless. Have a spine and do something about it instead.”

Expert Secrets – Russell Brunson

“Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

The E-Myth – Michael E. Gerber

“I believe it’s true that the difference between great people and everyone else is that great people create their lives actively, while everyone else is created by their lives, passively waiting to see where life takes them next.”

The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing – Al Ries and Jack Trout

“You’ll get no further with a mediocre idea and million dollars than with a great idea alone.”

How to Win Friends & Influence People – Dale Carnegie

“If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.”

The Hard Thing About Hard Things – Ben Horowitz

“Note to self: It’s a good idea to ask, “What am I not doing?”

Blue Ocean Strategy – W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne

”Key to winning over your detractors or devils is knowing all their likely angles of attack and building up counterarguments backed by irrefutable facts and reason.”
