Gary W. Keller Quotes

Here is what I do: I get up every day by six A.M. and meditate and pray — for spiritual energy. Then, I exercise and eat — for physical energy. Afterward, I hug, kiss, and laugh with my family — for emotional energy — and try to do it so that I get to spend time with all of them and still get to the office between eight A.M. and nine A.M. (Most people plan for emotional energy time only in the evenings or on weekends, when it can do little for their daily pursuit of big goals.) I then plan and calendar my day — for mental energy — and spend my first, most energized hours in the office working hard on lead generation and recruiting talent — for business energy. I never slack off before eleven A.M.

Don't fear big. Fear mediocrity. Fear waste. Fear the lack of living to your fullest

MY WAGE By J. B. Rittenhouse I bargained with Life for a penny, And Life would pay no more, However I begged at evening When I counted my scanty store. For Life is a just employer, He gives you what you ask, But once you have set the wages, Why, you must bear the task. I worked for a menials hire, Only to learn, dismayed, That any wage I had asked of Life, Life would have willingly paid.

So the more things you do, the less successful you are at any one of them.

Productivity isn’t about being a workhorse, keeping busy or burning the midnight oil... . It’s more about priorities, planning, and fiercely protecting your time.” — Margarita Tartakovsky

extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.
