Every day entrepreneurs face different challenges – this career is so, as I can attest to every single day. Wanted to share some of my favorite entrepreneurial quotes:
Ronn Torossian’s Favorite Entrepreneurial Quotes
• “The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.” Nolan Bushnell
• “Every day you should push yourself to do more and to succeed bigger.” Daniel Palmier
• “If it really was a no-brainer to make it on your own in business there’d be millions of no-brained, harebrained, and otherwise dubiously brained individuals quitting their day jobs and hanging out their own shingles. Nobody would be left to round out the workforce and execute the business plan.” Bill Rancic
• “All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” Walt Disney
• “Failure is not about insecurity. It’s about lack of execution.” Jeffrey Gitomer
• “Your brand is what people say about you when you are not in the room.” Jeff Bezos
• “Entrepreneurship is the last refuge of the trouble making individual.” Natalie Clifford Barney
• “High expectations are the key to everything.” Sam Walton
• “Treating people well and having strong integrity are vital components for success.” David Milberg
• “In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.” David Ogilvy
• “Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets.” Victor Kiam
• “When you cease to dream you cease to live.” Malcolm Forbes
• “Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you’re generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don’t make.” Donald Trump
• “I had to make my own living and my own opportunity! But I made it! Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them!” Madam C.J. Walker
• “You can’t ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.” Steve Jobs
• “No matter how brilliant your mind or strategy, if you’re playing a solo game, you’ll always lose out to a team.” Reid Hoffman
• “Don’t be cocky. Don’t be flashy. There’s always someone better than you.” Tony Hsieh
• “The most dangerous poison is the feeling of achievement. The antidote is to every evening think what can be done better tomorrow.” Ingvar Kamprad
• “Every day in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning a lion wakes up. It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death. It doesn’t matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle. When the sun comes up, you better be running.” Christopher McDougall
