#Successful

"The world’s greatest achievers have been those who have always stayed focussed on their goals and have been consistent in their efforts."

"I think that some books are more successful than others to certain readers. People who read my books for the humor, they're going to love one book. People who read my books for the mystery, they might not like that book quite as much."

"To be successful, you have to have your heart in your business and your business in your heart."

"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it."

"You don't have to be a genius or a visionary or even a college graduate to be successful. You just need a framework and a dream."

"30% of the time I am successful 70% of the time. That’s 100% in my book—a book that happens to have a page count that’s 21% Reduced Fat."

"It’s been said that the most successful people are often early risers. So that’s why I started getting up in the afternoon, which is well before any “successful” person even thinks of going to bed."

"Some say I'm an overnight success. Well, that was a very long night that lasted about 10 years. But while I do, of course, now feel the pressure having had books that have been very successful, I just know I have to concentrate on writing for myself. I can't worry about genres or markets or what might be commercial or not. That never works."

"Whenever you're successful you owe that success to the people in the community, because they are the ones buying your product."

"A successful life is one that is lived through understanding and pursuing one's own path, not chasing after the dreams of others."

"Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are doing, you will be successful."

"It's our nature: Human beings like success but they hate successful people."

"Successful people make money. It's not that people who make money become successful, but that successful people attract money. They bring success to what they do."

"If you have a dream, don’t just sit there. Gather courage to believe that you can succeed and leave no stone unturned to make it a reality."

"My second book, Follow Me Down had some success, got good critical notices, went into a second printing and things like that, but Shiloh was by far the most successful of those first five novels."

"It's not about market share. If you have a successful company, you will get your market share. But to get a successful company, what do you have to have? The same metrics of success that your customer does."

"Who you are tomorrow begins with what you do today."

"Success is not obtained overnight. It comes in installments; you get a little bit today, a little bit tomorrow until the whole package is given out. The day you procrastinate, you lose that day's success."

"The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way."

"If you drop your beliefs, you drop your success. God's mighty people begin to fall even as achievers when they begin to drop the beliefs they pursue at first."
