Orrin Woodward's Favorite Quotes

"We grow great by dreams. All great men are dreamers."

Woodrow Wilson

"Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get."

Ray Krthur Kroc

"The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want."

Ben Stein

These are some powerful quotes that capture many of the points that Orrin Woodward has taught over the years. One of my favorite mentorship quotes from Orrin is, "Always begin with the end in mind." I am glad I learned this lesson early in life. I think too many people have no idea what they want and thus settle for whatever happens. It is a much more empowering position to be in when you realize you have the power to make choices that affect the outcome of your life. I think to be successful you have a to have a good "internal locus of control." Orrin Woodward's leadership and mentoship style is based on people accepting responsibility for their life and understanding they have the power to make choices. One must also be willing to live with the consequence of those choices.
