Rory Vaden: No matter who you are, success is never owned, success is rented. And rent is due every day.

Quotes from Rory:

"Most of us view our decisions inside the paradigm of one day. Multipliers don’t do that. Multipliers realize it’s not just about today, it’s about tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day, which is what we call a significance calculation." Tweet:

"No matter who you are, success is never owned, success is rented. And rent is due every day." Tweet:

"Importance is how much does something matter; urgency is how soon does it matter? But the real, real magic is when you look at the significance calculation which is how long is something going to matter? In other words, how is this going to affect tomorrow, and the next day, and the next day?" Tweet:

"We create stuff for ourselves to do so we can cross those items off of our to do so lists so it can make us feel good...but really it’s a defense mechanism to keep us safe from doing the things we know we really need to do that we don’t feel like doing." Tweet:

"Everything that I’d ever heard anyone talk about as related to time management is all logical. But we realized that today time management isn’t just logical; it’s emotional." Tweet:
