Charlie Chaplin said "Imagination means nothing without doing." This is one of those quotes that makes me think about all the ideas people have. We've ALL got ideas! I've had some great ideas in my life. I've also had some terrible ideas. In fact, some of my terrible ideas were the ones I was most excited about! But an idea sitting in your head doesn't really do anything. You can have the greatest business idea in the world, but somebody has to make the phone call. Somebody has to build the product. Somebody has to sell it. Somebody has to take the chance. That's where things get interesting. I've noticed that people who actually accomplish things aren't necessarily the people with the biggest ideas. They're the people who eventually get up and do something about it

A saying that has been around for a long time is "Do what you can, with what you've got, where you are." Theodore Roosevelt included the saying in his autobiography, while crediting Squire Bill Widener for it. I love this because we are always waiting for something. I'll start when I have more money. I'll start when I have more time. I'll start when I get the right equipment. I'll start when I know more people. I've done that! Sometimes I think we're looking for the perfect conditions to get started, and those perfect conditions never show up. If you're starting a business, start with what you have. If you're trying to get healthier, start with what you can do today. If you want to learn something, learn the first thing. Pick up the tools and get to work, buy better tools later!

Steve Jobs said "The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle." He said this during his 2005 Stanford commencement address. I love that last part. Don't settle. Now, I'm not saying everybody needs to quit their job tomorrow and go looking for their dream career! Some of us have bills to pay. I've certainly had jobs where I wasn't exactly waking up every morning thinking, "I can't wait to get to work!" But I do think there is something to be said for finding something you care about. Maybe it's your job. Maybe it's a hobby. Maybe it's helping people. Maybe it's building something with your hands. I've also found that sometimes you don't find the thing you love by waiting for it. Try fun new things

Earl Nightingale said "We become what we think about." That's a pretty short quote, but there is a LOT packed into it! I have noticed that when I spend too much time thinking about something going wrong, I start finding more things that are going wrong. It's almost like my brain says, "Oh, you want to look for problems? I've got plenty!" But the opposite is true too. If you start looking for opportunities, you begin seeing them. If you're trying to improve your business, you start noticing ways to improve it. If you're trying to become a better person, you notice more chances to help somebody. I don't think this means you should pretend everything is wonderful all the time. But don't spend your whole day feeding the problem. Use your head, you got it!

Robert Collier said "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." I really like this one. I think sometimes we make success way too complicated. We look at somebody who has built a successful company, or someone who is in really good shape, or somebody who has a great relationship, and we think they must have some secret that we don't know about. Maybe the secret is just doing the little things over and over again. I've seen this in business. You make one phone call. You answer one email. You make one more sales visit. You fix one little problem. None of those things seem like a big deal by themselves. But do them every day for a year and you've got something! Small efforts don't feel very exciting, but they really do add up over time!
