Jordan Belfort Quotes from The Wolf of Wall Street

So you think The Wolf of Wall Street is just another fun entertainment; a roller coaster of win-win set of catch phrase? I urge you to re-read with me.

Here are hand-picked quotable quotes from Jordan Belfort:

When you live your life by poor standards, you inflict damage on everyone who crosses your path, especially those you love.

Let me tell you something. There's no nobility in poverty. I've been a poor man, and I've been a rich man. And I choose rich every fucking time.

The easiest way to make money is -create something of such value that everybody wants and go out and give and create value, the money comes automatically.

Act as if! Act as if you're a wealthy man, rich already, and then you'll surely become rich. Act as if you have unmatched confidence and then people will surely have confidence in you. Act as if you have unmatched experience and then people will follow your advice. And act as if you are already a tremendous success, and as sure as I stand here today - you will become successful.

Successful people are 100% convinced that they are masters of their own destiny , they’re not creatures of circumstance, they create circumstance, if the circumstances around them suck they change them.

They were drunk on youth, fueled by greed, and higher than kites.

No matter what happened to you in your past, you are not your past, you are the resources and the capabilities you glean from it. And that is the basis for all change.

The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can't achieve it. 

If you want to be rich, never give up. People tend to give up. If you have persistence, you will come out ahead of most people. More importantly, you will learn. "When you do something, you might fail. But that’s not because you’re a failure. It’s because you have not learnt enough. Do it differently each time. One day, you will do it right. Failure is your friend.

If you give people a good enough ‘why’, they will always figure out the ‘how’.

Whether you say, 'I can' or 'I can't,' you're right either way. 

Winners use words that say ‘must’ and ‘will’.
