30 Days of Genius- Lewis Howes

Lewis' words are in bold. My comments are in italics.

• "There could always be something worse"
• Any time you're feeling down, think of what could be worse. The answer is, almost always, a lot. You are never at the bottom of the barrel, and you always have a lot to build off of to move forward.

• "It’s crazy how many options there are to make money"
• You are never limited. The Internet has created a world in which every interest, passion, and idea is an opportunity to make money. Don't minimize their value, and don't tell yourself that you can't make money.

• "Create a challenge with a deadline and a date"
• Very much Napoleon Hill's Think and Grow Rich, set specific challenges and specific deadlines. That is how you get yourself to work towards success. Don't be general, don't be loose with yourself. Make commitments, and stick to them.  

• "What can you achieve in 6 months?"
• 3-6 months is only real amount of time in which you can envision your future and see quick results. 5 and 10 year plans are great. But it's the 6 month timeline on which real progress is made. 

• "Have a team. It’s not fun building something meaningful on your own."
• Boy, do I know it. Teams make successes fun. Teams make ideation fun. Teams make anything fun. Even if your team isn't a set of employees, you can find advisers, supporters, or anyone to be on your side and on your team.

• "Everything stems from a vision."
• Nothing just happens. Everything starts from an idea with a vision, and a lot of work goes towards building it up (and understanding the areas in which the vision will and will not exist).
