“Motivation will almost always beat mere talent.”

Success will naturally follow motivation
Entrepreneurs understand the hustle culture all too well – and for good reason! Entrepreneurs lead the way in connecting our work to our souls, but yeah, some days are more difficult than others.
Where business is not financial science, some risk is essential, and we know you’ll be making mistakes along your journey, with each step, you are closer than ever to success. Your strength doesn’t have to come from being alone and feeling alone. In some way, you are connected at all times – by knowing those close to you, knowing your customer, your vendors – and people you don’t even know – you are still connected. My best advice to entrepreneurs is to know you are significant and the success you experience will come in many different forms. You are building a business. You will always be building that business.
Some seasons in life are tougher than others – but we keep going – keep seeking and believing in the light at the end of the tunnel.
‘and YES – it does exist. (in case you momentarily forgot!)

Nothing is more motivating than owning your mission; your purpose directly connects Because It’s Yours.
This isn’t just a remote situation.
YOU OWN THE SITUATION!
YOU OWN THE SOLUTION!
You work more hours, yes. You are required to have more dedication, yes. But it’s different because you own this business. Let’s look at the difference between inspiration and motivation for a moment. Many times, the terms are used interchangeably – especially when it comes to describing positive quotes that move us to take a positive action! However, they are actually different.
Where inspiration is the push – the wish, the dream, the belief in yourself, and your desire to succeed, Motivation is the pull. Motivation is aboutthe results you create and own, the desire to see it through. Motivation is very much tied to the fact that you own it and therefore must perform and follow through.
Motivation comes from your dream and your desire to succeed.
Motivation is the reason you are uplifted after recognizing you are overwhelmed or simply feeling off. Before you begin your first daily task, or start motivational Monday… whatever you want to call it – remember – IT is yours. Start with renewed hope, inspiration and the motivation to follow through.

Use these motivational quotes to keep you in check.
Remember, as Henry Ross Perot observed, “Eagles don’t flock. You have to find them one at at a time.” Those eagles build their own nest. Similarly, he was so financially blessed, but always willing to clean his own barn.
Learn from him. Remain humble. You may earn lots of cash and experience over time, but the company does best when its owner remembers no matter what happens, it’s important they remain in it today – and the day after tomorrow.
Have a burning desire to succeed and success will follow – so Be Ready. I often say that motivation is strongest when we draw strength from anywhere and everywhere – including successful folks who left a strong mark years ago. I hope these quotes help.
Today: Keep that dream within sight. Be as inspired as Day 1 – and as motivated as you always have been to bring that dream alive. Think activity. Think positive thoughts. Plan to be highly productive as usual; plan a day full of pride with your endgame in mind!
