2. The best source of new business is the work on your desk. To acquire new clients, please the ones you have. To grow your following, focus on writing a great post today. To get promoted, do your best work on your current project. (Charlie Munger)
3. The relationship between ‘talk’ and ‘work’ is that one kills the other. The more time you spend talking, the less time you spending doing the work. When actively working on a project, focus on the work. You can talk about it and promote it once it’s finished. (Ryan Holiday)
4. The path to doing good work is through consistently showing up each day. You don’t have to be good initially. Just keep showing up. Over time, your desire to procrastinate will dwindle, your skills will grow, and your work will improve. (Steven Pressfield)
5. You don't have to explain your life path to anyone. If you feel drawn to pursue a certain job, move to a certain city, or live a certain way, you have every right to do so without offering up an explanation to anyone. (Cheryl Strayed)
6. There is plenty of time in the day if you cut out all non-essentials. This means working exclusively on the most important projects, only spending money on things that bring value, and only spending time with people who energize you. (Leo Babauta)
7. Grit, consistency, and perseverance are factors that contribute to success that are completely within your control. Level up your life by leveling up these factors. (Kai Greene)
