I have discovered that enemies will buy your books as much as your fans buy your books because they're looking for something new to hate you for.
Larry Winget
Everything in your life gets better when you get better, and nothing is ever going to get better until you get better.
Larry Winget
Go to your checkbook and see what you spend money on. In an instant, you will know what is important to you because your money goes toward it.
Larry Winget
Every single person on the planet is rewarded for one thing and one thing only, and that is for serving other people. The more you serve others, the higher your reward.
Larry Winget
Success comes from what you do, not from what you say you are going to do.
Larry Winget
I have done the merry-go-round and I have ridden the roller-coaster. I have made my choice. I choose the roller-coaster. There is more risk when you choose the roller-coaster, but at least you will know you have lived.
Larry Winget
People don't give a damn about you and they don't give a damn about your story and they don't give a damn about your content. They only give a damn that you, your content, your story can bring value to them.

Reward the behavior you want repeated.
Larry Winget
Don’t measure busywork. Don’t measure activity. Measure accomplishment. It doesn’t matter what people do as much as it matters what they get done.

I looked at the fact that people were in such financial trouble I said well people are broke because they want to be.
Larry Winget
All talk is just that: talk. All the words written on these pages are just that: words. If you want things to get better, take action. Don't just talk about it. Don't just read and think about it. Do it.
Larry Winget
I think that people have to have a story. When you tell a story, most people are not good storytellers because they think it's about them. You have to make your story, whatever story it is you're telling, their story. So you have to get good at telling a story so they can identify themselves in your story.
Larry Winget
I've been very fortunate at having good titles but I just think in terms of titles. I'm doing a workshop now where people write books and they come and I name their books for them. I'm good with titles.
Larry Winget
What you think about, talk about, and get off your ass and do something about, comes about.
Larry Winget
I'm not so good at just throwing out facts and figures and education and all that. I tell stories to captivate, that give people... that touch people emotionally.
Larry Winget
When you miss the target, never in history has it been the target's fault. Ya gotta take responsibility!
Larry Winget
Be the kind of person others admire, can count on, trust, and enjoy spending time with. After you have developed that reputation, people will start to ask you what you do and you will be amazed at how many people will want to work with you. You will attract others based on your character.
Larry Winget
I write titles that are confrontational. I write titles that make people want to pick up a book and find out more about it. I write good books I write great titles though.
Larry Winget
I think it's more helpful to keep your books sort of a singular focus. Get it said, get it said well, fascinate people with your words and then write another book.
Larry Winget
I look at what's going on in our society and what's pissing me off at the moment and I just get my basic gut reaction to that and that gut reaction usually becomes the title of the book.
