Perhaps this is why so many fail to recognize opportunity.” – Napoleon Hill “Have definite, major purpose. Make up your mind and go after it with all gusto. That’s how to be a more purposeful person.” – Brian Buffini “It’s not enough to be busy. The question is, what are we busy about?” – Henry David Thoreau “The secret of success, of every person who has ever been successful, lies in the fact that he or she formed the habit of doing things that failures don’t like to do.” – Albert E.N. Gray “If you continually ask yourself, ‘What’s important now?’ you won’t waste time on the trivial.” – Lou Holtz “Every morning, wake up and ask yourself: ‘What’s my definite major purpose? What is it I’ve enjoyed doing in my life? What is very natural for me to do? Where do my gifts lie? Where do I have confidence? …Then ask, what’s important now?’” – Brian Buffini “Write yourself clear. Write out your thoughts.” – Brian Buffini “A purpose statement, when done right, gets shorter and shorter and shorter not longer and longer and longer. It gets clearer, it gets more concise, it gets more precise and it becomes more powerful.” – Brian Buffini “You can live a more purposeful life. You can have a more purposeful career. You can leave this world a little better than you found it. That’s what I’m hoping for with my work.” – Brian Buffini   Mentioned in this episode: “Think and Grow Rich" by Napoleon Hill “The Common Denominator of Success” by Albert E.N.
