Quotes on Success are a major source of inspiration and motivation for many of us.  In just a handful of short, well thought-out and profound words, they can have such great impact on the way we think and feel about a particular subject.

Their power is in the brevity of the statement and the key message they convey.  They also help amazingly effectively during times of our own self-reflection, handing us a key to breakthrough lessons, often with a humorous twist that ignites an “aha” moment.

    

They also offer an opportunity for us to learn from the wisdom of highly successful and noteworthy people.  They’re like a window into the mind and soul of those people.

Many people are also avid collectors of their favorite Quotes on Success.  Yes indeed, I am one of those people…

Some of my favorite Quotes on Success authors are people like Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Stephen Covey, Maya Angelou, Marianne Williamson, and many others.

Here are some of my favorites:

 “In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.”  Bill Cosby

 “Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm”.  Winston Churchill … Isn’t that so true?!

 “Your most valuable asset can be your willingness to persist longer than anyone else.”  Brian Tracy … So true!  Persistence is a vital success trait to have.

 According to Zig Ziglar, the way to achieve success is to help others succeed – “If you just help enough people get what they want, you will get what you want”.

 “Success is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it”.  Maya Angelou

 “Many people seem to think that success in one area can compensate for failure in other areas. But can it really?…True effectiveness requires balance.”  Stephen Covey

If you’re an entrepreneur, or a budding entrepreneur, have you found that the more you immerse yourself in this world, the more you find you have less in common with people who aren’t entrepreneurs, or with employee mentalities?  

It’s almost like you don’t have anything in common anymore, you see the world differently, and are on different wavelengths. 

Here are 15 of my favorite Success Quotes on Entrepreneurship:

“The entrepreneur in us sees opportunities everywhere we look, but many people see only problems everywhere they look. The entrepreneur in us is more concerned with discriminating between opportunities than he or she is with failing to see the opportunities.” ~ Michael Gerber 

“The entrepreneur is our visionary, the creator in each of us. We’re born with that quality and it defines our lives as we respond to what we see, hear, feel, and experience. It is developed, nurtured, and given space to flourish or is squelched, thwarted, without air or stimulation, and dies.” ~ Michael Gerber

“Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.” ~ Niccolo Machiavelli

“Innovation is the specific instrument of entrepreneurship. The act that endows resources with a new capacity to create wealth.” ~ Peter Drucker

“The entrepreneur builds an enterprise; the technician builds a job.” ~ Michael Gerber

“Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that’s exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.” ~ Anita Roddick

“An entrepreneur assumes the risk and is dedicated and committed to the success of whatever he or she undertakes.” ~ Victor Kiam

“Entrepreneurs are risk takers, willing to roll the dice with their money or reputation on the line in support of an idea or enterprise. They willingly assume responsibility for the success or failure of a venture and are answerable for all its facets.” ~ Victor Kiam

“I wanted to be an editor or a journalist, I wasn’t really interested in being an entrepreneur, but I soon found I had to become an entrepreneur in order to keep my magazine going.” ~ Richard Branson

“A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them.” ~ Henry Kravis

“Genius is 1% inspiration, and 99% perspiration.” ~ Thomas Edison

“Most new jobs won’t come from our biggest employers. They will come from our smallest. We’ve got to do everything we can to make entrepreneurial dreams a reality.” ~ Ross Perot

“The man who does not work for the love of work but only for money is not likely to make money nor find much fun in life.” ~ Charles Schwab 

“Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.” ~ Jim Rohn

“The greatest reward in becoming a millionaire is not the amount of money that you earn. It is the kind of person that you have to become to become a millionaire in the first place.” ~ Jim Rohn
