Tweetable Quotes:

“I feel and I have felt like a lot of people out there who have those feelings of ‘How do I get started?’ or ‘What should I do?’, and it's really by two things: it's by educating yourself and then taking action.” - Tim Lyons

“Only when I started taking action did my business really start taking off. You can hear all the ways about how to lose weight or how to get a crazy body at the gym, but if you don't take action and do those things, you will never attain what it is that you want to attain.” - Tim Lyons
