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. It's okay. Accompany it - breathe into it - and after a while, you'll feel the anger or fear or sadness lose it's urgency and power. Allow God to tenderly embrace you in your pain. And then, at the right time, you can let go.

I've accepted the fact that because I'm human, I'm terrific in one thing, good at some, mediocre at a bit more, and terrible at others. And if you're human, you are too. You'll have to discover the one thing that you are good at and major in it.

Once your fears are gone, happiness will flood your soul.

Note that the Bible talks a lot about money. And a lot of those verses are warnings against the temptations of wealth—how the love of money can corrupt our hearts and destroy our lives. Those warnings are very serious, and we must listen and obey. Money, like anything good in this world, can pulls us away from God and His way. The other day, I was reading a sad report on giving. According to the study, when people's income increases, their giving decreases. Sadly, the poor outgive the rich. Because money can become an idol that we worship. And I'll be the first one to tell you to prioritize peace over prosperity any time of the day. God must be the center of every area of our life, especially our financial life. At the end of the day, only God can satisfy the deepest longings of your life. Very Important Point: As much as there are Success Principles in the Bible, its core message is not how to succeed in your work or finances but in following Jesus and building His Kingdom in this world.

I've been reading Proverbs for decades now, but I'm still blown away how a three-thousand-year-old text can impact our modern financial life today.

Four Farmers Once upon a time, there were four farmers who lived beside each other: Farmer Fraidy, Farmer Flaky, Farmer Fancy, and Farmer Focused. Out of all these Farmers, only Farmer Focused had a huge harvest every year. Fraidy, Flaky, and Fancy always had very tiny harvests. Let me tell you why. Farmer Fraidy Farmer Fraidy doesn't plant too many seeds. Why? He's filled with fear. He's afraid that the seeds won't grow. Or if they grow, they won't bear fruit. Or if they bear fruit, no one will buy the fruit. He imagines the worst scenario. He's paralyzed by the question, "What if?" Such as, "What if there's a storm that will destroy my crops? What if there's a bug infestation? What if there's an alien invasion?" He entertains his fears so much, he plants very little seeds. Because of that, he has very little harvest. Farmer Flaky On the other hand, Farmer Flaky plants a lot of seeds but he's distracted. He goofs off in the middle of the season. He spends a lot of time on Facebook. He plays video games. He watches all kinds of telenovelas—Filipino, Korean, Mexican, and Martian. He goes off to Hong Kong to eat xiao long bao. In short, he neglects the farm. Many of the crops don't grow. Farmer Fancy This guy farms in the wrong way. He chooses the wrong seed, tills the soil in the wrong way, and harvests them in the wrong way, too. When other farmers give him suggestions on how to improve, he doesn't listen. He's simply too proud. And that's why his harvest is very small. These three Farmers are connected to the first Success Principle from Proverbs.

The lazy man won't go out and work. 'There might be a lion outside!' he says. He sticks to his bed like a door to its hinges! He is too tired even to lift his food from his dish to his mouth! Yet in his own opinion he is smarter than seven wise men" (Proverbs 26:13-16 TLB).

Reason 1: Fear The first part says, "The lazy man won't go out and work. 'There might be a lion outside!' he says" (Proverbs 26:13, TLB). Fear grips Farmer Fraidy. Laziness is already mentioned, but the example given was about fear. It says that he doesn't want to go out because of a lion. We all have an imaginary lion in our lives. From my experience, I believe it's uncertainty. 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.

Reason 2: Laziness Farmer Flaky is imprisoned by laziness. The next verse describe this paralysis: "He sticks to his bed like a door to its hinges! He is too tired even to lift his food from his dish to his mouth!" (Proverbs 26:14-15, TLB). Who says the Bible is boring? This verse is so funny. It gives you the height of laziness: There's already food on his plate, yet he's too tired to lift his spoon to his mouth. Absurd? Not really. 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. But we live in different times. When my son was fourteen years old, he learned how to play the drums, how to edit videos, how to arrange songs, how to make websites. How? By watching YouTube videos. He also learned enough fashion sense to be my fashion stylist, so he can tell me what to wear on stage so I don't look like Mr. Bean. That's the kind of universe we live in. Because of the Internet, all the libraries of the world are now in your bedroom and you can access them by just one press of a button. Yet people remain immobilized. Stuck. Frozen.

Reason 3: Pride The next verse gives us the third reason for lack: "Yet in his own opinion he is smarter than seven wise men" (Proverbs 26:16, TLB). This is Farmer Fancy. I see this all the time. 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. And from experience, pride is rooted in insecurity. What is the solution? Practice the 7 Success Principles of the Book of Proverbs. And that is where fourth guy, Farmer Focused, comes in. He's the only one who has a huge harvest because he practices all of them.

Farmer Focused One day, the four farmers had lunch together. Farmer Fraidy was the first one to speak. He asked, "Farmer Focused, you planted a lot of seeds. I didn't because of my fears. How do you get rid of your fears? I'm overwhelmed with my fears, I end up paralyzed." Farmer Focused said, "Who says I got rid of my fears? My motto in life has always been, "Do it afraid.'" He was talking of Success Principle number two...Execution.

7 Success Principles: 1. Evaluation 2. Execution 3. Endurance 4. Education 5. Envision 6. Emptiness 7. Expectation

Success doesn't happen. You make it happen.

Get over this fact. You will fail.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Preparation is the secret sauce of champions.

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

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

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

Fear is the invisible prison that keeps you stuck where you are—the fear of rejection, the fear of shame, the fear of loss, the fear of failure.

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.

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.

The not-so-secret of success is time. Success does not happen in days, or weeks, or months, or even years. Usually, it happens in decades.

I'm not talking about degrees. That's not the kind of education that makes you really successful.

Jim Rohn said, ;Formal education will make you a living; self-education will give you a fortune.

Jim Rohn said, 'Formal education will make you a living; self-education will give you a fortune.

Proverb says, "Plans go wrong with too few counselors; many counselors bring success" (Proverbs 15:22, TLB).

Don't go ahead with your plans without the advice of others' (Proverbs 20:18, TLB).

My criterion for a mentor is very simple: someone who is already living the dream I want to have in that specific area of my life.

During times of decision-making, I'd pick their brains. Seek a fresh perspective. Draw from their immense experience.

Some people are not readers. And that's fine. There are other ways to learn.

Every year, we send our leaders to attend leadership conferences all over the world. We will always learn from other ministries, churches, and organizations. In the same way, make a personal commitment to learning.

Learn about family. Learn about health. Learn about money. And learn about God.

God gave us free will, and so our environment does not determine who we are or what our future will be—but we're influenced by it. So create your championship environment.

For example, if you want to prosper, surround yourself with people who have a prosperity mindset.

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. So when I hit thirty, I had to add a new set of friends into my life—entrepreneurs and investors—if I wanted to grow in my financial life.

Hang out with happy people. Passionate people. Loving people. Noble people. Humble people. If you're open, sooner or later, you will become like them.

At the start of your journey towards healing and wholeness, follow the 10/30/50/10 Rule. Spend ten percent of your time in prayer, thirty percent with mentors, fifty percent with peers, and ten percent with those you're trying to helpas part of your mission.

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.
