What is your favorite quote??

I believe quotes are a powerful tool. They provide a boost of quick knowledge and motivation. I would love to hear your favorites and why they are.

"Don't wait for the perfect opportunity: create it." -George Benard Shaw

I love this because it symbolizes the truth that nothing is going to be given it must be earned/taken. When I read it each day, I am naturally shifted into an action taking mindset.

-Nathan

18 But before ye seek for riches, seek ye for the kingdom of God.
19 And after ye have obtained a hope in Christ ye shall obtain riches,
This is my favorite for a lot of reasons. Trust god be a good person follow his commandments and the rest will fall into place.

Hi @Nathan Killebrew,
My favorite quote is “work like there is someone working 24 hours a day to take it all away from you” - Mark Cuban. I love this quote because it inspires me to stay on my grind each and every day. When you’re not working, someone else is working to pass you’re level, which can ultimately lead to missed opportunities. By staying focused and constantly learning as a real estate professional, you’re providing more incentives for clients to stay with you. Real Estate is an industry where you are always learning so I try to maintain my competence by reading most days to grow as a professional.
Best Regards,
Nathan Roberts

As a runner I have always loved this quote from Steve Prefontaine which can be applied to any area of your life.

I love this quote because it speaks to a growth mindset, continue to better yourself and your life will act accordingly. 6 months ago I dropped out of college with no motivation until I began developing myself to the point where I plan to have my first property by the time I’m 20, I’m moving to Chicago with sales job, I have a better relationship with my family, and somehow..I’m making more money than I ever have.

It's all about your attitude.

@Nathan Killebrew "Most people overestimate what they can achieve in a year and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade" - This couldn't be more true, in my story at least.

@Nathan Killebrew A lot of good ones here so far. My favorite quote is a long one.
"Don't worry about genius and don't worry about not being clever. Trust rather to hard work, perseverance, and determination. The best motto for a long march is "Don't grumble. Plug on." You hold your future in your own hands. Never waver in this belief. Don't swagger. The boy who swaggers - like the man who swaggers - has little else that he can do. He is a cheap-Jack crying his own paltry wares. It is the empty tin that rattles most. Be honest. Be loyal. Be kind." - Sir Frederick Treves
Says a lot and says it well.

"I've missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. Twenty-six times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."

"Done is better than perfect" apparently a common saying in the early years. They also said "Move quickly and break things". I like this action oriented approach and not being scared about making mistakes when trying to scale something. I am sure this attitude which rose them to great heights has now changed as not relevant for a business with lots of revenue to protect. I guess it also shows that different period of growth (and different cycles of the market) require different approaches.
