After giving away many of my years to entrepreneurship,i do often give this question to my self and around –What is Entrepreneurship?
To the untrained eye, an entrepreneur may appear to be a person who has started his or her own business. While this is technically true, there’s so much more to the journey of entrepreneurship than just bringing a business idea to fruition. Its the power of problem solving be it in any field and sphere of life and to do it profitably.
The nature of being an entrepreneur means that you fully embrace ambiguity and are comfortable with being challenged regularly. Choosing this career path is completely irrational because the odds of succeeding are dismal, but most succeed because of their unwavering belief, laser focus on delivering and persistence.
One thing that always helps me through the ups and downs is to connect with some of the greatest minds during the journey.I strongly believe true entrepreneurship is all about masterminding.
Down below are some of my favourite quotes for an entrepreneur to live by:
1.”Do. Or do not. There is no try.” – Yoda, Jedi Master.
2.“Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.”– Guy Kawasaki, founder of All Top.
3.“Winners never quit and quitters never win.”– Vince Lombardi
4.Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”– Steve Jobs
5.“My biggest motivation? Just to keep challenging myself. I see life almost like one long University education that I never had — everyday I’m learning something new.”- Richard Branson
6.“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”- Thomas Edison
7.”The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” – Chinese proverb.
8.”When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” Henry Ford
9″Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.” Mark Twain, author.
10.“Logic will get you from A to B. Imagination will take you everywhere.”– Albert Einstein
11.“As long as you’re going to be thinking anyway, think big.”- Donald Trump
12. “Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.”– Winston Churchill
13.Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.” – Richard Branson, founder of the Virgin Group.
14.“If you don’t know what to do with your life, do something that saves lives. The world is full of of people in need, be the part of their life that fills that need.” – Sanjeev Saxena.
15.“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”– Martin Luther King, Jr.,
16.”Success is how high you bounce after you hit bottom.” – General George Patton.
17.Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve. – Dr. Napoleon Hill
18.“Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great.”- Mark Twain
19.“Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.”- Bill Gates
20.“I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game’s winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that’s why I succeed.” – Michael Jordan, NBA Hall of Famer.
21. “Always deliver more than expected.” —Larry Page, co-founder of Google.
