"The battle against adversity is a completely personal one. It's fought in your mind and your heart. Unless you face adversity, how do you truly find out who you are? Taking on your passion, especially if it's something out of the mainstream, is bound to create adversity. Excuses won't overcome it, but you know what will? Inner resolve and the personal satisfaction that comes with prevailing in the face of overwhelming odds. Then getting creative so that the odds turn in your favor." -Urijah Faber

Passion is what you would do if you got to choose. It's what you think about doing in the privacy of your own mind, without ear of dismissal or mockery. -Urijah Faber

Urijah Faber on Success in Business

UFC bantamweight Urijah Faber has been able to parlay success in mixed martial arts into success within the business world. It all stars and ends with passion for Urijah Faber, and in the middle is a lot of hard work:

- I've always been fearless when it comes to having business ideas and going after them.

- I've had a mentality that I can do anything, I've never put limitations on myself and it's just a way of thinking that I think has allowed me to do a lot of stuff in the business world, because if I feel like I have a good idea then I'll run and try and make it happen and work hard at it and find complimentary business partners and stuff like that. So that's kind of how the business side of things has happened for me: the gyms, management, clothing, real estate, it's just saying, "This seems like it might be an opportunity", and not being afraid to go after it.
