"The biggest difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that successful people are willing to do what unsuccessful people are not." - Darren Hardy

“The day you graduate from childhood to adulthood is the day you take full responsibility for your life.” - Darren Hardy

"Because I chose to not be completely responsible for the business, in the end, I was responsible for the results." - Darren Hardy

“What percentage of shared responsibility do you have in making a relationship work?” I was a teenager, so wise in the ways of true love. Of course I had all the answers. “Fifty/fifty!” I blurted out. It was so obvious; both people must be willing to share the responsibility evenly or someone’s getting ripped off. “Fifty-one/forty-nine,” yelled someone else, arguing that you’d have to be willing to do more than the other person. Aren’t relationships built on self-sacrifice and generosity? “Eighty/twenty,” yelled another. The instructor turned to the easel and wrote 100/0 on the paper in big black letters. “You have to be willing to give 100 percent with zero expectation of receiving anything in return,” he said. “Only when you’re willing to take 100 percent responsibility for making the relationship work will it work. Otherwise, a relationship left to chance will always be vulnerable to disaster.” - Darren Hardy

"...nothing happens to me; it happens because of me." - Grant Cardone

"“How do you stay motivated?” The answer? I create new reasons to keep showing up." - Grant Cardone

"An “excuse” is a justification for doing—or not doing—something. I think the dictionary implies that it's a “reason.” However, in reality, an excuse usually turns out to be something other than the real reason that motivates your actions (or lack thereof). For example, let's say that your excuse for being late to work is due to traffic. Well, that's not truly the reason you didn't make it to work on time. The reason you were late is because you left your home without enough time to allow for traffic. Excuses are never the reason for why you did or didn't do something. They're just a revision of the facts that you make up in order to help yourself feel better about what happened (or didn't). Making excuses won't change your situation; only getting to the real reason behind it can do this. Excuses are for people who refuse to take responsibility for their life and how it turns out. Slaves and victims make excuses—and will forever be destined to having leftovers and others' scraps." - Grant Cardone

"There can never be enough wood on your fire. You can never take too much action or accumulate too much success. There is no such thing as being talked or written about excessively, being covered too frequently, receiving too much authority, or working too much. These are simply claims that mediocre people make in order to justify their own decisions to be happy with the status quo." - Grant Cardone

"When bad things happen to good people, I assure you that the good people had more to do with it than they take responsibility for." - Grant Cardone

"Assume control and increase responsibility by adopting the position that you make all things happen, even those things you have previously considered to not be under your control." - Grant Cardone
