Your Own Guthrie. It’s 325 pages with gold leaf trim at the edge of the
pages. On a bookshelf it looks more like a holy book than a business
book. It looks to us as if Dan has a self published it and is
contemplating a mass-market book to follow.
Without a doubt, Dan has created more controversy than any other CEO
Club speaker; some members say he is a devil incarnate, and others say
he is the best business coach on planet.
Dozens of CEO Club members, after hearing his talk at a CEO Club
meeting, spent a fortune to attend his one-week “ Quantum Leap” seminar.
He holds it in Scotland at his 50,000 square foot Guthrie Castle. Everyone
agrees it’s a spectacular property.
We excerpted part of a book on page 4; however, we caution you that
half the CEOs hate him and the other half love him. What percentage of
the following Peñaism are true?
You be the judge, but they will get you thinking, and Dan is an expert at
shuffling your card deck.
Building Your Own Guthrie
The world’s greatest teachers are able to boil down pages of text and
hours of oratory into a pithy phrase or quick parable. Over the years
I’ve used the quotes of others and a few nuggets of my own wisdom to
better clarify Quantum Leap concepts. My protégés have come to call
them “Peñaisms.”
1. Tough times don’t last. Tough people do.
2. Don’t waste time on things you can’t change.
3. When you deal with the opinionated or egotistical, always give credit where it isn’t due.
4. Business deals start and end with people, the interaction of flesh and blood, bone
and sinew, heart and mind, emotion and soul.
5. Dream big. . .think big.. be big.
6. Dream big and dare to fail’
7. The more you investigate, the less you have to invest.
8. Never, ever second guess yourself.
9. Cash only prolongs death. It doesn’t prevent it.
10. I’ve never seen a “part-time” super successful, high performance person.
11. A deal has to sound good before it is good.
12. During Quantum Growth, any problem you solve will be replaced immediately by
a larger, more complicated problem.
13. Every party to every negotiation has a comfort zone. The effective negotiator is
the one who can define the boundaries of the other party’s comfort zone, then place
the deal inside the boundary of that zone nearest his own interests.
14. Stick to your knitting. To maximize the return on invested capital, deploy your assets,
resources, and capabilities in those areas wherein lie your expertise and experience.
15. Man plans; God laughs.
16. You won’t always have all the answers. Take seriously the advice of only those
you greatly respect.
17. The consequence of a misguided decision is deminimis in the cosmos of eternity.
18. Always shoot for the moon. Even if you don’t hit it, you’ll at least get 80%.
19. Always, always, always pay yourself and your employees first’ through
all economic cycles.
20. Plan for success. With no backup plans, no ripcords, no fail safes or you will fail.
21. Management performance sins will always be forgiven during periods of rapidly
increasing revenues.
22. Learn to play bad golf well.
23. Become more disciplined. The pain of discipline hurts less than the pain of regret.
24. Hunger makes beasts of men, and demons of beasts.
25. Everybody is worried about life after death. I worry about life before death.
26. The business world is divided into people with great ideas and people who
take action on those ideas.
27. If you want things to change, first you have to change.
28. A man who dwells on his past robs his future.
29. There’s a big difference between playing to win and playing to not lose.
30. The difference between a failure and a high performance individual is how each deals
with fear. We are all afraid. A high performance person uses fear to galvanize actions.
31. Ignorance is a steep hill with jagged rocks at the bottom.
32. The only difference between a champ and a chump is U.”
33. To succeed in business you must do more than take a step in the right
direction. You had to take a Quantum Leap.
34. A good plan executed today is better than a great plan executed next week.
35. In order to really succeed in business, you must have
outside advisors. These must be trusted advisors, professionals at your
accounting and law firms with whom you have a very special relationship.
These advisors become your moles within their own organization,
more loyal to you than their employer… motivated, aggressive, ambitious,
and bright but not as bright as they thinks.
37. The fulfillment of your dream is directly proportional to your desire to succeed
and how much you’re willing to sacrifice. If you are not prepared to die, then you
are not prepared to live. .
38. When you get rid of someone, never give them a “hook’ with which to get back
in. Always make a clean definable and irrevocable break.
39. Quantum Leap success means fishing with nets, not just with lines.
40. To achieve “hyper-growth “avert avoidable mistakes and let your successes run
their course. Do more of what you’re doing right and less of what you’re doing wrong.
41. You always need a reason to overlook the obvious.
42. Never underestimate how wrong you can be. Even the most careful planning
can be overtaken by external events and circumstances.
43. Always maintain your personal relationships on the same plane upon which they
were formed. True friends will rejoice in your professional successes. Allow them to
enjoy them with you. Never reassess their personal and professional lives in terms
of your own.
44. Your most valuable natural asset is your own gut instinct. Don’t be afraid of it. Your
instinct has more power than all of the conventional wisdom in the world.
45. Business opportunities abound but formidable barriers exist. And the biggest
barrier is psychological. It Is you.
46. Your greatest idea, born out of revolutionary thinking and passion, will die of
indifference, apathy, and the satiation of low expectations.
47. Conventional wisdom is almost always wrong.
48. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Just because something has never
been done doesn’t mean It can’t be done. The fact that you have never seen or heard
something is not proof it doesn’t exist.
49. Every worthy dream has a “pay price to action.” That means you have to give up
something to get something. You can’t have it all.
50. The old Kenny Rogers song “The Gambler” has a message for CEO’s. “You’ve got to
know when to hold’em, and know when to fold’em.” As a CEO you’ll get more advice from
your staff than you know what to do with. But it’s up to you to know when to “hold’em and
when to “fold’em.” Listen to your gut. Make your decision and move on.
51. I never met a super-successful, high-performance person who
wasn’t enthusiastic.
52. The best way to predict the future is to create it your sea.
53. A deal is either hot or it’s not.
54. You don’t have to know how you’re going to get there. But you do need to
know where you want to go.
55. If you have no destination, wherever you end up will be acceptable.
56. It costs nothing to aim high but if you aim at nothing, you’ll hit anything. -.
57. FEAR . . . is False Expectations Appearing Real.
58. Patience Is just an excuse for procrastination.
59. “Thinking it over” is for people who can’t take action.
60. Quantum Growth eliminates dear sailing. So you’d better learn to navigate
troubled waters.
61. From chaos comes order. In chaos is opportunity.
62. Whoever said money can’t buy you happiness doesn’t know where to shop.
63. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
64. More of the same usually just gives you more of the same.
85. Structure follows strategy. If you base your strategy on your existing structure,
you limit your potential to what you’ve already done.
86. Watch your business peaks and your troughs. As long as your lows are higher
than before, your Quantum Leap Action Plan is working.
87. A guarantor a fool with a pen.
88. No matter how tempting, never accept shot-term solutions to long-term problems.
89. Too many companies try to patch when they should amputate. “Let’s reorganize and
save this mess” is a clarion call to disaster. Cut your losses, kick the cuttings out of your
way, and move
on.
90. If you want to travel above and beyond the herd, don’t try to be better. Try to be
different. Or better yet, be first!
91. Your doubts are not the product of accurate thinking, but of habitual thinking.
92. Find your passion and wrap your career around it.
93. Live your life on purpose!
94. You’ll be motivated by inspiration… or desperation. It’s your choice.
95. People with low self-esteem protect themselves by not taking risks. High
self-esteem gives you the power of confidence to take chances.
96. Give yourself permission to make mistakes. It’s called learning.
97. The only things in this life that you’ll really regret are the risks and adventures
you didn’t take.
98. “Hell” can be the video of your life if you had taken the actions to become super successful.
99. Nothing you’ll ever do in business is a matter of life or death. In the cosmos of time,
any decision you make is a fart in the wind.
100. You cannot make a Quantum Leap if you don’t share the wealth with your Dream
Team and employees be it cash, equity, options, or warrants that are tangible rewards for
performance and loyalty.
101. Never, ever share doubts with anyone.
102. Being all you can be is possible for anyone, but…
103. Super success is not for everyone. Period.
104. Fear of failure is caused by lack of self-esteem and confidence. Dealing with fear is the
key to super success.
105. Don’t take high-performance advice from your peers, family or friends unless they are
high performance people themselves.
106. You cannot grow exponentially by yourself. You need the support of others
107. Don’t set time limits for achieving goals. They should transcend time.
108. Set goals you cannot achieve in your lifetime.
109. Business should not run smoothly while you’re making your
Quantum Leap. Chaos is normal. The business on quiet waters is still in
the harbor.
110. Life is what happens while you’re making plans.
111. The road to success is always under construction.
112. Get ruthless about trying something different.
113. Motivation is your “fire in the out.” But unless it’s fueled it goes.
114. I have no more mountains left to climb but me!
