We all have times when we lose focus or feel less than motivated. Maybe we are dealing with a particularly hectic schedule. Or we have just gone through a day or two when nothing seems to be going right.
That is especially true for many small business owners. We carry the weight of our businesses squarely on our shoulders. And while we relish the freedom of making our own choices, that also comes will a lot of pressure.
Whenever I am going through these rough times, that is when I need a boost the most. Something to get me over the hump and back on track. And I find that these quotes do just the trick. Reading a few of them puts me in the frame of mind I need to tackle the day, the week, or even the month ahead.
In the spirit of paying it forward, and keeping in mind my focus on “why” I do what I do,
I share 10 quotes that constantly inspire me to continue on my path, and I think they could do the same for you.
"Do not go where the path may lead, go instead where there is no path and leave a trail." Ralph Waldo Emerson
What better inspiration than to realize you have the freedom to follow a path unique to you?
"The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why." Mark Twain
"What in your life is calling you? When all the noise is silenced, the meeting adjourned, the lists laid aside....what still pulls your soul?"
This one really speaks to me. I encourage you to find what makes you “tick” and gives you the greatest satisfaction ~ what could be better? You can read about my journey of discovery in
"Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one." Eleanor Roosevelt
And I believe that no one is more of an individual than an entrepreneur!
"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle." Albert Einstein
Lovely!!! This one just puts me in the right frame of mind every time.

“Never lose sight of the fact that the most important yardstick of your success will be how you treat other people - your family, friends, and coworkers, and even strangers you meet along the way. ” Barbara Bush
Every now and again I need a reminder that success is not always measured by my bank account. While making money is certainly important, there are other things that bring even greater satisfaction.
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Maya Angelou
This goes for your clients too! Making sure they know how important they are to you will go a long way!
"Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you, or makes you happy"!
We have the power to choose our happiness. And I believe that if something is bringing us down, we need to remove that from our lives. That also is true in our business ~ Difficult clients being one of them! Find parts 1 and 2 of my series on Dealing with Problem Clients here and here.
and the quote continues......
"You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!
Now I encourage you to discover the words that will inspire you. You may find that some of the ones I have shared here speak to you too. Or you may have to go in search of your own. But either way, having some “go to” words of wisdom will help you when you need it.

And, finally, I close out this list with my absolute favorite motivational quote;
"You have Brains in your Head, You have Feet in your Shoes. You can Steer yourself in any Direction you Choose"! Dr. Seuss"You're on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...” Dr. Seuss, Oh, the Places You'll Go!
To me, this sums up the life of an entrepreneur! Go Dr. Seuss!
Now I encourage you to discover the words that will inspire you. You may find that some of the ones I have shared here speak to you too. Or you may have to go in search of your own. But either way, having some “go to” words of wisdom will help you when you need it.
And we all need that boost in our confidence or moment of clarity every now and again!
Good luck!
