Famous Richie Norton Quotes

“Always improving your habits and never reaching results is called “habiting.” I invented this term for all of us to rethink how we think about what gets us where and what keeps us stuck. Ever habiting is never inhabiting.”

“Procrastinators are addicted to immediacy. If it doesn’t have to be done now, they’ll do it later. No one is more productive than a procrastinator with an impending deadline.”

“The way to be irreplaceable is to become a social innovator. Start projects that motivate you to save the world and simultaneously make you money (and create mindshare) for your company. Social innovation makes magic happen.”

“TZEDAKAH is a Hebrew word commonly translated as “charity.” One Jewish leader described tzedakah as having eight levels of charitable giving. The eighth and highest level of giving is described like this: “The highest form of charity is to help sustain a person before they become impoverished by offering a substantial gift in a dignified manner, or by extending a suitable loan, or by helping them find employment or establish themselves in business so as to make it unnecessary for them to become dependent on others.” Serve others in a way that helps them become self-reliant (or interdependent) and watch miracles happen for both you and them.”

“Become. Showing up as "I want to be" is a totally different life (lifestyle, feeling, experience) than "I am"—two totally different lives. “I want” vs “I am” is a choice, not a destination. Become it before you become it. When you know who you want to be, you’ll know what to do.”

“What's the difference between people who see and seek gaps and those that see and seek bridges? The first stops and stays on the side. The second, crosses and reaches new worlds. As soon as your mind identifies the bridge, the gap is gone...but the bridge was always there...you just had to see it. There are holes in the ground, yet a bridge (which is there, but may take time to see) filled it. That's where asking better questions comes in. Where is the bridge so I can cross? There is one. Believing there is a bridge from where you are to where you want to go is 99% of the battle. The other 1% is to cross it. But do I have to build the bridge? Maybe. But everything is first created in the mind and then in the world. The bridge is there. See it. Cross it.”
