Success is not what you have, but who you are.
One of the huge mistakes people make is that they try to force an interest on themselves. You don’t choose your passions; your passions choose you.
The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer not a dreamer.
