I have always loved powerful quotes. I can remember hearing motivational speaker Zig Ziglar say, “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help other people get what they want.” And reading author James Allen write, “He who would accomplish little must sacrifice little; he who would achieve much must sacrifice much; he who would attain highly must sacrifice greatly.” These quotes, and others, literally helped direct the course of my future. Of course, it’s not the quotes that changes us, but the application of them that does. This collection of quotes is designed to help inspire you to a new level

of success. Oliver Wendell Holmes said, “One's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” When you fill your mind with powerful thoughts, it will reward you with greater opportunities. As your cognitive library increases, it catapults your ability to be more successful.

This is why leaders are readers; they constantly fill their minds with quotes, stories, experiences, stats, and ideas to level up. Great leadership starts with information, and this information leads to transformation. The transformation begins in them first and then transforms the world around them. If you study the most highly successful people throughout history, a common trait you will find in them is an insatiable obsession with knowledge. It is not surprising that we find them studying their craft at a minimum of an hour a day, if not tremendously more.

Because of this, Speaker Earl Nightingale taught us that to become an expert in any given field, you must spend one hour a day, every day, for five years studying it. Or, as modern day author and psychologist Malcom Gladwell calls it, “The 10,000 Hour Rule.” We cannot improve that which we are unaware of. So to improve, we must first open ourselves up to resources that will ignite our capacity to learn. It is through information that we open the door to transformation.

Enjoy the quotes from this book that have come from a lifetime of learning and developing myself while helping develop the potential in others. I hope that something in this book inspires a thought that becomes the catalyst for greatness within you.
