Most people ignore opportunities because they see only danger. Entrepreneurs ignore danger because they see only opportunities.

I go into every meeting, into every room and for every speech understanding the standard deviation, the Bell Curve. I know there are about 10-15 percent of people in the room, who say, "I've been trying to say this for years. Finally. I agree. Yes, yes, yes." I know there are about 15 percent of the people in the room who think I'm an idiot, who think I don't know what I'm talking about, who think I'm naive or I have oversimplified everything. The majority who are open to the ideal.

Great companies don’t hire skilled people and motivate them, they hire already motivated people and inspire them. People are either motivated or they are not. Unless you give motivated people something to believe in, something bigger than their job to work toward, they will motivate themselves to find a new job and you’ll be stuck with whoever’s left.
Simon Sinek -
The goal of life is not to have our lives mean something to ourselves. The goal of life is to have our lives mean something to others.
Simon Sinek -
All these companies that grew to any sizable proportions were all founded with a belief or a cause bigger than their products or services. It was their products or services that helped them bring that cause to life.
Simon Sinek -
Genius is in the idea. Impact, however, comes from action!
Simon Sinek -
The value of experimentation is not the trying. It's the trying again after the experiment fails.
Simon Sinek -
You have to write a book because you believe it has helped you, because you believe it has helped others personally and you are dying to share with it others because you know it will add value to their lives. You write it for them like a gift. You don't want anything from them. You don't want them to do anything for you. You don't even care if they all share the book with their friends, they don't all have to buy them. You're just dying to share this idea with people. Your challenge is to write it in a way that is compelling, enjoyable to read so that they will get the idea.

Would anybody be offended if we gave a $150 million bonus to Gandhi? How about a $250 million bonus to Mother Teresa? Do we have an issue with that? None at all. None at all. Great leaders would never sacrifice the people to save the numbers. They would sooner sacrifice the numbers to save the people.

No matter when or where, always bring your 'A' game, because you never know when it will open doors for you.
Simon Sinek -
I need an army. I need people out there who are either preaching with me to different audiences that I can't get to or who are implementing the work and helping people actually learn their why or practice their why or implement their why because I don't do that.
Simon Sinek -
Of course there are people out there who are helping others find their why. Some are doing a really great job and some are doing a not so great job. I love the fact there are people out there, and consultants out there doing that.
Simon Sinek -
We should always choose to work with people we love. They are the ones who will watch our back and our future.
Simon Sinek -
Our vision is only actionable if we share it. Without sharing, it’s just a figment of our imagination.

If you have the opportunity to do amazing things in your life, I strongly encourage you to invite someone to join you.
Simon Sinek -
A poor leader will tell you how many people work for them. A great leader will tell you how many people they work for.
Simon Sinek -
Progress and innovation happen when you set unrealistic goals.
Simon Sinek -
Achievement happens when we pursue and attain what we want. Success comes when we are in clear pursuit of Why we want it.
Simon Sinek -
The true value of a leader is not measured by the work they do. A leader's true value is measured by the work they inspire others to do.
Simon Sinek -
To become an academic expert takes years of studying. Academic experts are experts in how and what others have done. They use case studies and observation to understand a subject.

There is a difference between giving directions and giving direction.
Simon Sinek -
Leading is not the same as being the leader. Being the leader means you hold the highest rank, either by earning it, good fortune or navigating internal politics. Leading, however, means that others willingly follow you—not because they have to, not because they are paid to, but because they want to.
Simon Sinek -
I try to find, celebrate and teach leaders how to build platforms that will inspire others.
Simon Sinek -
Success comes when we wake up every day in that never-ending pursuit of why we do what we do.
