Hello, Believe Nation. Today I'm going to talk about the best 7 motivational quotes to start your day with. So staying motivated is a constant challenge for entrepreneurs. It's just tough waking up every day and yes, I mean, hopefully you're doing something you love and you're passionate about and you want to get on and get that hustle going and have that impact that you're looking for, but it's still hard. It's still hard when you're doing everything alone and you don't have a team around you and you don't have the resources you want, you're not seeing the momentum that you want. And so staying motivated is really important and I used to find I find that looking up to successful entrepreneurs kept me motivated, and there were 7 quotes that I look to consistently that help me stay motivated, stay on my game. If I'm feeling low, I can look at them and it kind of brings me back up, and I thought I would share them with you today to hopefully give you some motivation and inspiration to start your day with. So number 1 is from Steve Jobs, the co-founder of Apple. Believe that things will work out. Follow your intuition and curiosity. Trust your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path. You have to Trust the dots will somehow connect in the future. The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you want to become. Everything else is secondary. Number 2 comes from Oprah Winfrey. What I know for sure is that if you want to have success, you can't make success your goal. The key is not to worry about being successful, but to instead Instead, work towards being significant and the success will naturally follow. If you do work that you love and work that fulfills you, the rest will come. And I truly believe that the reason I've been able to be so financially successful is because my focus has never, ever, for one minute, been money. Would you do your job and not be paid for it? I would do this job and take on a second job just to make ends meet if nobody paid me. That's how you know you're doing the right thing. Number 3 is from Tony Robbins. A real decision is measured by the fact that you've taken a new action. If there's no action, you haven't truly decided. The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal and then to never leave the sight of setting the goal without first taking some form of positive positive action towards its attainment. For changes to be of any true value, they've got to be lasting and consistent. Anytime you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is raise your standards. If you don't set a baseline standard for what you'll accept in life, you'll find it's easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or quality of life that's far below what you deserve. Whatever happens, take responsibility. The only thing that's keeping you from getting what you want "Success is the story you keep telling yourself." Number 4 is from CNN founder Ted Turner. "All my life people have said that I wasn't gonna make it. You can never quit. Winners never quit and quitters never win." Number 5 is from Body Shop founder Anita Roddick. "Whatever you do, be different. That was the advice my mother gave me, and I can't think of better advice for an entrepreneur." If you're different, you will stand out. Number 6 is from Four Seasons Hotel founder Isadore Sharp. Whatever you do, don't ever use a crutch, and don't ever think of having an excuse for not having said, "Yeah, I did my best." And number 7 is from EA Sports founder Trip Hawkins. One quality of entrepreneurship is just being consistent. Not giving up because you have roadblocks, and also not giving in because other people tell you that you're nuts. You are nuts, and you should be proud of it. Stick with what you believe in.
