I am done reading the MFL for probably the third time now. I will move on to the next books. But here are my favourite quotes. The ones that always resonated with me. Thanks @MJ DeMarco ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is my top 10:
1. "There’s a profound difference between interest and commitment. Interest reads a book; commitment applies the book 50 times."
2. "Somebody should tell us, right at the start of our lives, that we are dying. Then we might live life to the limit, every minute of every day. Do it! I say. Whatever you want to do, do it now. There are only so many tomorrows."
3. "Time isn’t a commodity, something you pass around like a cake. Time is the substance of life. When anyone asks you to give your time, they’re really asking for a chunk of your life."
4. "Instead of digging for gold, sell shovels. Instead of taking a class, offer a class. Instead of borrowing money, lend it. Instead of taking a job, hire for jobs. Instead of taking a mortgage, hold a mortgage. Break free from consumption, switch sides, and reorient to the world as producer."
5. "Stop thinking about business in terms of your selfish desires, whether it’s money, dreams or 'do what you love.' Instead, chase needs, problems, pain points, service deficiencies, and emotions."
6. "I’m a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it."
7. "I awoke to the epiphany that I was the driver of my life and my problems were the consequences of my choices."
8. "All events of wealth are precluded by process, a backstory of trial, risk, hard work, and sacrifice. If you try to skip process, you’ll never experience events."
9. "Make a freaking impact and start providing value! Let money come to you! Look around outside your world, stop being selfish, and help your fellow humans solve their problems. In a world of selfishness, become unselfish."
10. "Fast wealth is created exponentially, not linearly. Trading hours for dollars is the slowest way to gain wealth."
