Cut all sources of retreat, Only then can you succeed.

“I will burn all bridges behind me, and stake my ENTIRE FUTURE on my ability to get what I want. (I leave myself) no possible way of retreat. (I) had to win or perish!” – from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

“Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a BURNING DESIRE TO WIN, essential to success. ” – from Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Cut all sources of retreat,
Only then can you succeed.

    I believe in this statement with ALL my heart. You can apply this simply formula to so many things and regardless of reality/perception, etc you can only find out who and what you are when you have no such retreat. Your retreat becomes you and YOU is what makes success and makes failure. In life there is no room for excuses.

    TAGR is the best book on the planet I would like to add. It changes my life and my favorite part was when Napoleon revealed, rich has nothing to do with money :)
