Mike Carruthers:
Zig Ziglar, the famous sales consultant, once said that many people are afraid of their own dreams.

Interview with Darren Hardy, author of the book The Compound Effect
________________
Mike Carruthers:
What does it take to be successful? Some would lead you to believe that success is very easy.
Darren Hardy:
You know we’re constantly bombarded with increasingly sensational claims: to get rich, get fit, get younger, get sexier all overnight with very little effort for 3 payments of $39.95. And I think these repetitive marketing messages have distorted our sense of what it really takes to succeed.

Mike Carruthers:
When we’re talking with people socially or professionally our ideas and the stories we tell are simply a string of words.
Dan Roam:
The problem is that unless those ideas are really, really crystal clearly formed they’re just kind of like big fluffy clouds. We talk about this one for a moment and then it passes away and the next one comes along and we completely forget about the previous one.
