Are you a business owner who feels like you’re just doing your “job?” Well, don’t feel that way. Every successful business has an inspired owner who runs the show like a well-oiled machine. Since running a business is hard work and tiring, it makes sense that some business owners use inspirational business quotes to motivate themselves.
Running a business is a lot like playing a game at the highest stake. If you go to a casino and play a game of poker you might lose a couple hundred or a couple thousand dollars. But if you play a game called “entrepreneurship,” you could lose everything and then some.
As an owner you’re responsible to yourself, your family, your community, and employees, (if you have them). Even their family’s livelihood is somehow your responsibility as well. This is a responsibility that you can’t ignore if you are an owner.
You cannot take your business lightly. You must give your all when it comes to business.
I have a good list of sayings and words that I compile specifically to motivate business owners or their employees.
I browse through the internet and hand-pick quotes that are very inspiring to business owners or employees.
