Nature magically suits a man to his fortunes, by making them the fruit of his character.
Ralph Waldo Emerson

A person’s character is huge. One of the main keys to happiness isn’t through money or toys, but through who you are and the people you surround yourself with. Spend some time reading self help/improvement books and don’t be afraid to cut out the people of poor character in your life.

Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome. Samuel Johnson

I was talking to a friend over the weekend who was thinking of starting a business, and I kept thinking of objections that he might face. After remembering this quote I realized how negative I might have come off, and apologize. 

There’s no failure if you give it your all. I have a client who bought into a pizza franchise. He had no experience in the industry, and he went for it. I thought he was crazy, but he told me “I may not succeed, but as long as I know I gave it my all, I will not fail”. He now has three locations and another restaurant on the way.

So I want to tell my friend now, go for it, and if you give it your all, you cannot fail.
