Sometimes, if the people in your life really drag you down, you need to stop spending time with them.

If you are a human being in modern society on planet Earth, you need money to do pretty much everything, especially to grow into a more expansive version of yourself.

I was broke into my forties.

Being cool was always very important to me, but I decided to get rich, so I went for it.

My big journey was around money. I was a successful writer, I was a musician, but I was just always broke.

When I meditate, I can feel an energy that is much bigger than me but is also part of me, and it's a very powerful energy.

I've read, like, 10,000 self-help books.

Scare yourself every day, and do something that makes you feel totally excited and totally terrified.

Back in the day, I was always broke and was living in a converted garage at the age of 40, and then I decided I was unavailable to live my life with that reality, so I decided to change it.

It actually is a lot easier to get rich than one would think.

We don't even realize how loaded of a topic money is. We've got really serious judgments on it.

You must go after the things you desire like your life depends on it, because guess what? Your life does depend on it. The life you truly want to live does.

When you understand that making, saving, and spending money is all based on the thoughts you're thinking and the actions that these thoughts lead to, you can completely transform your reality - and your bank account.

Talk to strangers. They're never who you think they are at first.

If you hang out with a bunch of sad sacks who think the world sucks and there's no possibility, you'll start to believe that. But if you hang out with people who think everything is possible and actually do the impossible on a regular basis, you will believe that, and you will be able to achieve that.

Take lots of walks. It's the best way to discover your world, both inner and outer.

Our 'realities' are make-believe - whatever we make ourselves believe, we experience.

I find that in my own life and with the people I've been coaching, when people make the decision to get rich, they're available to do things that are outside of their comfort zones and stretch themselves.

If the point of an activity is to be relaxing, changing that point to money isn't a great idea. Then you have to show up for it differently, and that can take the fun out of it, absolutely. I'm a big fan of turning your hobbies into businesses, but not if it's the hobby you do to relax and unplug.

If something bothers you, focus on the solution or the desired outcome, not the part that has you spinning out in the middle of the night.

Technology gets a bad rap for keeping us glued to our screens instead of being present with whomever is around us, and while this can be true, it also allows us to connect with billions of people all over the world. For free.

All living things come hardwired with certain traits and characteristics that are part of our nature, meaning that these things come naturally to us: they're what we're meant to do, and they're how universal intelligence flows though us best. Birds gotta fly, fish gotta swim, etc.

If you're in a ditch, and you're looking down, you can see where you're going but you can't see the way out.

If you want something badly enough, and decide that you will get it, you will.
