Some of our favourite quotes from the show:
“There are always reasons, there are excuses, there's the government or the education or the system, but those who actually have more self-worth and feel they're in control, feel they're the pilot of their life, not a passenger. They're much more successful.” – Michael Yardney
“I think most successful people I've come across believe their success is related to luck, but they also believe that they've created their own luck, and they've done this in a number of ways.” – Michael Yardney
“Don't allow yourself to be brought down by those hopeless emotions. Instead, allow other people's success to fuel your own fire.” – Michael Yardney
