Bo Sanchez Quotes

Whenever you feel a negative emotion be alone in a room and just sit down with it and feel. Don't judge it, criticize it, intellectualize it, explain it away. Allow yourself to feel the pain.

And then, at the right time, you can let go.

From my experience, the prosperity mindset is not about what's in your pocket but what's in your perspective. But your perspective does affect what's in your pocket.

The prosperity mindset encompasses three specific areas: psychology, theology, and economy.

Do you see yourself poor? Has poverty become your identity? You know you have a poverty mindset if you feel poor; you talk poor, you walk poor, and you act poor. Subconsciously, you plan on being poor for the rest of your life. And when you fail in anything that you do, your favorite excuse is, "Mahirap lang ako." (I'm just a poor person.)

Ever since I became a missionary at thirteen years old, I was surrounded by missionaries too—priests, nuns, monks, pastors, and preachers. I grew spirituality but not financially.

Plan carefully and you will have plenty; if you act too quickly, you will never have enough (Proverbs (21:5, GNT).

Lazy people should learn a lesson from the way ants live. They have no leader, chief, or ruler, but they store up their food during the summer, getting ready for winter (Proverbs 6:6-8, GNT).

The longer-term your thinking is, the more successful you will be.

A Harvard sociologist, Dr. Edward Banfield, confirmed this fact. He dedicated his life to study why some people succeed and others do not. When he did his research, he expected that race, gender, family background, and education were what made people successful, but he found out that they weren't predictors of success. What was his biggest discovery? That the single most accurate predictor of success was having what he called a "long-time perspective." Note, however, that it's not just the ability to think into the future, but how that kind of thinking impacts your actions NOW that makes you successful. Here's the key: Success is the ability to make sacrifices now for a future reality.

Your vision must be decades long—because success is not made in days, weeks, months, or even years. Real success is made in decades.

You don't just write it once and chuck that vision into a drawer, never to see it again.

There must be a connection between three very important documents: your vision, your schedule, and your budget.

Always look at your schedule and budget through the lens of your dreams.

Develop your business first before building your house (Proverbs 24:27, TLB).

What's wrong? They don't have a decades-long vision. But sometimes, having dreams is not enough. I meet people who have all sorts of dreams, but they're not going anywhere. That's when I realized that having a vision is like a car. Without fuel, it doesn't go anywhere. What is your fuel?

Hunger is good—if it makes you work to satisfy it' (Proverbs 16:26, TLB).

Truth: Success comes from hunger. That's why talent is overrated. Intelligence is overrated. Having money is overrated. There are so many talented, intelligent, and moneyed people out there who are not successful. In fact, it's possible that having too much talent, intelligence, or money, you'd be tempted to take it easy. To slack off. To be lazy. You won't have hunger.

My billionaire mentor loves telling me, 'The reason I'm successful? I'm not very intelligent. I was a college dropout. No company would hire a college dropout. And I had no money. So when I started my business, I had no choice. I had to succeed. I had no other option. I had nowhere else to go. When customers humiliated me, I just swallowed my pride and went to work. When friends in my business took advantage of me, I took the heat and went back to work. Other people who are intelligent, who have degrees, who have money, will say, 'I don't need to take this crap! I'm outta here.' And so they hop from one opportunity to another. Hop, hop, hop, hop.. They never build anything because they have too many options.

Are you going through lack right now? Pain? Struggle? Rejection? Discomfort? Good. Use it as your fuel for success.

Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine.

It was their personal pain that pushed them towards their prosperity.

Two Kinds of Hunger Hunger can come from your own experience. But it doesn't have to. There are two kinds of hunger: personal and vicarious. Because of my ministry, I was immersed in the pain of others. I felt their pain. I felt their hunger. I wanted to help.

How Do You Keep the Hunger? In my work with achievers, I notice something very common during their early victories: People settle. Somewhere along the way, people lose their hunger. They're no longer empty. They're like people who had a heavy lunch—they become full. And sleepy, they want to take a long nap. At the start of his journey, a person is very hungry. He comes from poverty. He wants to escape his pain. But a few year later, when he has achieved some of his early goals, his hunger abates. It loses its edge, its intensity. From a ten, it drops to a five, and then a three, and then a two, and then a one. And then he settles.

Make your hunger bigger by including the hunger of others. Stop thinking of yourself only. Live for others.

I vowed to myself that I didn't want the financial needs of raising a family to interfere with my service to God.

The second reason was my higher goal: Because I was immersed every day in ministry work, an ocean of needs surrounded me. Orphans who needed food. Missionaries who needed support. Projects that needed funding. Everywhere I looked, people needed help—and I felt the intense pain of not being able to help because I had nothing. The frustration was too much.

And the more I gave, the emptier I became—and the hungrier I got. The solution is to embrace their hunger.

Commit your work to the Lord, then it will succeed' (Proverbs 16:3, TLB).

Do you commit your work to God? Then expect success. Note: Along the way, you'll go through a lot of failures. The more successful you want to be, the more failures you'll have to go through. You can't avoid failure. But at the end of the day, expect that success will happen.

I know that your goodness and love will be with me all my life; and your house will be my home as long as I live (Psalm 23:6, GNT).

I believe an ocean of blessings surrounds us. We have all that we need. Yes. God wants us to have abundance, but only so that we can use that abundance to serve.

If you want to prosper, you need to have a prosperity mindset.

The prosperity mindset is not about driving a Rolls Royce and wearing Armani, but simply saying every day, every moment, in every experience, "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!" (Psalms 34:8, ESV). In Filipino, we say, 'Ang sarap ng buhay!' (Life is delicious!) The prosperity mindset is seeing God's blessings everywhere.

No matter how technologically advanced we get, spiritual principles still govern our universe.

Do you want profit? Yes—pray, dream, learn, and talk. But here's the lesson: If you don't work, you'll still be poor. All your praying, dreaming, learning, and talking will still lead to poverty if you don't work. Keep on planting.

Preparation is the secret sauce of champions.

You're the champion. And champions prepare more during the planning season.

Sooner or later, if you don't stop initiating, improving, and innovating, endurance pays off.

The Book of Proverbs says, "Wealth from get-rich-quick schemes quickly disappears; wealth from hard work grows over time" (Proverbs 13:11, NLT).

When you plant today, you don't harvest tomorrow.

The reason some people call someone an "overnight success" is that the planting season and the growing season are usually hidden from the limelight.

This is what I learned: a little sleep, a little rest, folding your arms, and taking a nap—these things will make you poor very quickly" (Proverbs 24:30-34, ERV).

Grace." It's God who gives success.

Proud people will never succeed because they're unteachable. They don't want to fail because they'll look bad. And they won't serve anyone. It's a perfect recipe for disaster.

Humility is so underrated. I believe humility is the mother of all virtues—and the mother of all real success.

Who says I got rid of my fears? My motto in life has always been, 'Do it afraid.

Work brings profit, but mere talk leads to poverty! (Proverbs 14:23)

Lazy hands make for poverty, but diligent hands bring wealth. (Proverbs 10:4)

Success is all about execution.

Brilliant ideas are a dime a dozen.

Here's the truth: Brilliant ideas are everywhere. They're a dime a dozen. Successful businesses are not based on brilliant ideas but on the ability to execute those brilliant ideas.

Success doesn't happen. You make it happen.

In coaching and mentoring people in their success journey, their problem is not laziness. Their problem is fear.

The more successful they are, the more failures they have.

Fail tiny, fail many, fail quickly. Fail Tiny: You don't have to fail big. Dream big but start small. See to it that you start small so that you can fail small. Fail Many: Each failure teaches you a lesson. So keep failing! The more you fail, the more you learn. Fail Quickly: Don't wait too long to start again. Fight the disease called "analysis paralysis." As long as the failure is tiny, do it.

At the end of the day, only God can satisfy the deepest longings of your life.

All change is terrifying because it's unfamiliar.

This is the chilling truth: Some people would prefer the certainty of their present poverty rather than the uncertainty of their future prosperity. Sad but real.

Look around you. So many are surrounded by wonderful opportunities to grow themselves. Yet they don't life their spoon. Instead, they want to be spoon-fed like babies.
