Some Inspirational Quotes for Entrepreneurs
The entrepreneurial journey is not less than a roller-coaster ride. There are moments when one gets irate, tense and out of solutions. The ray of hope seems blurred. How does one overcome such dark phase of entrepreneurship? One can learn to overcome the hardships of entrepreneurship by the worldly-wise knowledge of many great personalities. We are flooded with the practical experience of many renowned persons from varied domains. They have gone through such phase long before our existence.
Whatever experience they had pertaining to entrepreneurship, were aptly noted in their autobiographies, biographies, and quotes. Many of the ideas or quotes are centuries or even millenniums old. Irrespective of this fact, they are still relevant. So, why not fill our grey cells with their time-tested shrewdness? Let’s get started.

Oprah Winfrey: “Don’t worry about being successful but work toward being significant and the success will naturally follow.”

Jeff Bezos: “Because, you know, resilience – if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you’d be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone.
