If you have the courage to do the right things, you will get the right results. If you don’t, then be okay with what you will get.

According to Finerman,

‘If you don’t proactively want success for yourself, how are you going to convince others that you’re worthy of attaining it?’

‘Act as if, believe as if, plan as if you can and will succeed. There is no reason not to.’

‘You can’t hope the plans happen; you have to make them happen.’

‘A first job is a chance to get paid to learn. So learn all you can.’

‘If decisions are not of great consequence, don’t give them a lot of space.’

‘We have the power to control our emotions; sometimes we just haven’t developed the desire and the right intellectual response to do so.’

‘Figure out what it is you do a half-assed job at, or hate, and let it go.’

‘When you have a big decision to make, wait as long as you can before deciding.’

‘Don’t wait for the fear of failure to subside; move forward as if isn’t there.’

‘If we survive failure, we haven’t failed– we’ve learned and we’ve grown stronger, scars and all.’

‘Don’t belabor a transaction for a small amount of money. If you want to sell something, get out there and sell it. Don’t try to squeeze every last penny.’

‘Markets can change very quickly. Do not extrapolate well into the future what the environment is right now.’
