How to Motivate Yourself Financially

I once knew a guy who had terrific ideas, would talk them up at hurricane force, and then go off and putter away at something else. He would lose his momentum before he even got going. What's the point?

I've met some brilliant businesspeople in my time, but some of them will never be billionaires because they never act on those brilliant ideas.

Twenty percent of your priorities will give you eighty percent of your productivity. You should always focus your time, energy, and efforts on the top 20 percent of your priorities; that's a four-to-one return on your investment. So if you have a great idea, no matter how much work you know it will require, get going. Don't just sit there. There's nothing more criminal and self-destructive than having a great idea and then putting it off. As the saying goes, a slow starter is always the fastest finisher.

Get a move on. Being rich isn't a passive state. Ultimately, time is more valuable than money, because if you run out of money, you can start over again. But when you've run out of time, there's no starting over.
