More quotes by Steve Pavlina
The momentum of continuous action fuels motivation, while procrastination kills motivation.
Steve Pavlina
A man doesn't require the approval of others. He's willing to follow his heart wherever it leads him. When a man is following his heart-centered path, it's of little consequence if the entire world is against him.
Steve Pavlina
Courageous people are still afraid, but they don't let the fear paralyze them.
Steve Pavlina
If you want to experience abundance, then don't choose a path that ensures scarcity or limitation. Choose a path that has a shot of leading to prosperity. Say no to non-prosperous choices like a job with a fixed paycheck.
Steve Pavlina
Understand that relationships are more important than contracts. Business deals are relationships between people. The signed piece of paper is important, but it's merely the result of the relationship, not the cause. If the relationship crumbles, the contract won't save you, although it could be very lucrative for your lawyer.
Steve Pavlina
Security is worthless if you have to sacrifice growth to get it
Steve Pavlina
When in doubt, act boldly, as if it were impossible to fail. In essence it is.
Steve Pavlina
Treat your business relationships like friendships (or potential friendships). Formality puts up walls, and walls don't foster good business relationships. No one is loyal to a wall... except the one in China.
Steve Pavlina
It's funny that when people reach a certain age, such as after graduating college, they assume it's time to go out and get a job. But like many things the masses do, just because everyone does it doesn't mean it's a good idea.
Steve Pavlina
Our beliefs act as lenses. These lenses can help us see things we can't otherwise see, but they can also block us from seeing parts of reality.
Steve Pavlina
You must give before you can get.
Steve Pavlina
When you reach the point of becoming independent of external events, you’re truly free.
Steve Pavlina
Fear is not your enemy. It is a compass pointing you to the areas where you need to grow.
Steve Pavlina
Productivity = creating value and delivering it to people. All other busywork is unproductive fluff and should be minimized.
Steve Pavlina
One of my core beliefs is that belief itself is a choice that can be made of our own free will.
Steve Pavlina
Regardless of others' reactions, do your best to stay true to yourself. Make the choices that allow you to look in the mirror and feel good about the person gazing back at you.
Steve Pavlina
In reading the biographies of very successful men and women, one theme frequently surfaces: such people have a strong bias for action. Those who achieve high levels of success in some areas of life tend to take a LOT more action than those who settle for average or below average results.
Steve Pavlina
It's been said that the first hour is the rudder of the day. I've found this to be very true in my own life. If I'm lazy or haphazard in my actions during the first hour after I wake up, I tend to have a fairly lazy and unfocused day.
Steve Pavlina
Saying no isn't easy, but it's a required skill if you wish to have any degree of focus in your life. If you say yes too often, you'll likely fall into the common trap of saying yes to the good while simultaneously saying no to the best.
Steve Pavlina
Believing that you must do something perfectly is a recipe for stress, and you'll associate that stress with the task and thus condition yourself to avoid it
