All of the quotes are in the chapter on "Success" in my new gift book for senior athletes called, "Senior Salute."

Today's episode is a minor departure from the direction I was going in the last two episodes. In those episodes,  I was talking about quotes that I took from my gift book for graduating athletes called, "Inspiration for the Graduate." However, the departure today is not too much of a departure, as I took today's quote from my brand new, hot-off-the-press other gift book for sen...

Last week you heard Dan Sullivan's quote about making your present better by making your future bigger. Today we hear from Swiss-born British philosopher and author, Alain de Botton. His quote co...

Today's episode is a great follow-up to last week's episode in which I talked about a quote from Ernest Hemingway on comparing yourself to your former self instead of comparing yourself to other people. The quote today is from leadership and professional development author, Dan Sullivan . I heard the quote from a good friend and colleague of his, Dr. Benjamin Hardy . I am subscribed to D...

Today's quote comes from Ernest Hemingway. While Hemingway was one of the most popular American authors ever, he was also a man who lived life fully. His quote today is a great one that gets at the heart of a message I have talked about to my teams for years and discussed at other times on this podcast. It deals with the comparison game and how too many people get caught up in comparing thems...

Today's quote comes to us from French general and emperor, Napoleon Bonaparte. However, I heard the quote from NBA superstar, Damian Lillard, of the Portland Trailblazers.  Last week, I talked about a quote by Jon Gordon that I heard on his "Power of Positive Summit." I also heard today's quote on the summit during Damian Lillard's presentation.  His presentation was great...

Today's quote comes from positivity, leadership, and personal development author, speaker, and guru Jon Gordon. I have followed Jon Gordon for quite some time. I love his messages for my own personal development, as well as for using with the various teams in my life. I mention "positivity" with Jon Gordon because so much of what he communicates is about the importance and power of...

Today's quote comes from a relatively obscure source in that the person who said it is not a famous person, nor is the quote itself famous. However, it is a great quote, as it pertains to being open to learning from other sources and the importance of having mentors in our lives to help us become the best we're capable of becoming. I talk about internet marketing guru Jeff Walker for the...

Today's quote comes to us from a more obscure source. His name is Howard Hendricks. He was a professor at the Dallas Theological Seminary. I read the quote in a great book by Mark Miller called, "Smart Leadership." The quote is actually not even by Howard Hendricks. While Hendricks is a professor himself, his quote comes from one of his college professors, who, unfortunately,  doesn...

I purposefully did not put the name of the person in the title of todays' episode because some people might not listen if they see who said it. That would be a shame because the quote is an all-time great quote, and it's one that you need to hear and then listen to the ideas about it in order to help you and your teams become the best you're capable of becoming. That's all I&ap...

Today's quote comes to us from a world I am not involved in at all - the world of opera. It is by an American opera singer named Robert Breault. In doing research for today's episode, I found out that Robert Breault has A LOT of great quotes for us, and I believe I will be returning to him for quotes in future episodes. Today's quote is about the world of goals and goal-setting. Bre...

Today's episode is focused on a quote by Mike Krzyzewski, better known as Coach K, the men's basketball coach at Duke University. After 42 years of coaching at Duke, he is retiring at the end of this season.  He was honored this past Saturday evening after his final home game at Cameron Indoor Stadium with a very nice ceremony. At the ceremony, Nina King, the director of athletics, was o...

Great quote here today from Napoleon Hill's book  Think & Grow Rich  on the concept of what does and doesn't make for a great leader. Too many supposed "leaders" are only leaders because of a rank or title. True leaders lead not from a title or position but from their hearts.

Today's show is about an obscure quote. It is not a quote that you will find in any of the usual places you would look up famous quotes because it is not a famous quote. It came from Angela Duckworth's outstanding book, Grit: The Power of Passion and Perseverance . In the book, Duckworth talks about meeting Pete Carroll, the head coach of the NFL's Seattle Seahawks. She is visiting...

The quote for our second episode of Season 4 of the show comes from Teddy Roosevelt. I have used this quote for many years, but ironically, I never knew this quote came from him. I thought it was one of those that was from an anonymous source. I actually heard it a few days ago from leadership guru, John Maxwell, in his book, Winning with People. I love everything I read/listen to by John Maxwell,...
