\u201cMany rivers to cross, still I can\u2019t seem to find my way over\u201d. If you\u2019re an entrepreneur, you will find yourself muttering or maybe even belting out the lyrics to this 1969 Jimmy Cliff classic.
\nThe life of an entrepreneur is by no means an easy one. Another tune rings deafening in my head as I type this post, \u201cIt\u2019s not an easy road, dem si di glamour an di glitta an dem tink a bed a rose\u201d. Buju Banton knows this all too well.<\/p>\n
Anyways, enough of the singing, I\u2019m sure you get the point I\u2019m trying to make (well, I do hope you so). In this post, I\u2019ve put together 10 of quotes from the book which will either motivate, inspire or provoke thought. Whatever it does, they should elevate you from a low place.<\/p>\n Some of them were submitted to me specifically for this book.<\/p>\n 1. \u201cIf entrepreneurs are able to be disciplined, productive and focused every day, they will win at an even higher level.\u201d – John Lee Dumas, Founder, EOFire<\/strong><\/a>
\nOne of the things that plays a major role in keeping me steadfast with blinkers on, is a quote from someone that I admire. Quotes have a way of just kicking your butt to springboard you into taking action.
\nI love them so much, I\u2019ve actually written an entire book about it. \u201cMotivate Inspire Provoke\u201d<\/a> contains over 500 quotes from over 300 thought leaders (dead and alive) in 30 categories.<\/p>\n
\n2. \u201csome people say that motivation doesn\u2019t last, neither is bathing that\u2019s why we recommend it daily.\u201d – Zig Ziglar, Author & Motivational Speaker<\/strong>
\n3. \u201cAn entrepreneur is the craziest person on earth. They jump from a cliff and then figure out how to fly. And guess what? They enjoy the ride and somehow succeed.\u201d – Andre Huie, Foudnder, SKN Newsline & Voice of the Caribbean Radio<\/strong>
\n4. \u201c<\/em>It\u2019s hard changing your life, at some point the bathroom will be the only place you feel comfortable because at least you\u2019ll be able to do some shit right.\u201d – <\/em>Kemal Brown, Speaker & Entrepreneur<\/em><\/strong><\/a>
