It's very important to enjoy what you're doing or else you are always going to procrastinate.

I made so many mistakes in my first successful business I'm almost embarrassed to recount them.
James Altucher
Honesty is about the scars. Its about the blemishes. But its more than just bragging about failure, which could be a form of ego. Its about truly helping people.

You can't make money without selling something real. You can't make something real without first imagination manifesting itself in your head. You can't have imagination without surrendering yourself to an idea that you want to create something of value to other human beings.

Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don’t support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck.
James Altucher
Everyone is different. We all suffer from the disease of being human. There are a thousand cures but no antidotes.
James Altucher
Requirements are for people who want to be unhappy. Because it’s your rules or the universe’s rules. The universe is going to win. Every time.
James Altucher
Purpose is a man-made fiction. Nobody on their deathbed gets a plaque that says he focused on only one thing for his entire life! Those are counterfeit thoughts in a counterfeit society.
James Altucher
Success, in every case, comes from the alchemy of your health, your mind, your positive energy, and the real world situations you persistently improve for yourself.
James Altucher
Rejection-and the fear of rejection-is the biggest impediment we face to choosing ourselves.
James Altucher
The best speakers are the ones who have put 10,000 hours into listening.
James Altucher
If you try to get 1% better each day at your health, at your relationships and the way you treat people, at your creativity, and at turning despair into gratitude, then that 1% compounds into an amazing person. Do that 1%. Take one action. Even if the actions is for one minute. The 1/1/1 strategy.
James Altucher
Robots are the new middle class. And everyone else will either be an entrepreneur or a temp staffer.
James Altucher
Buying coffee on the street instead of in a Starbucks is the poor man's way to get rich. In other words, you will never get rich by scratching out ten cents from your dollar.
James Altucher
Teaching how to think is better than lecturing how to do it.
