DESCRIPTION

You are an entrepreneur. You are not a robot. You’ve rounded off your square edges and freed yourself from that hole forever. You’re ten steps ahead of many people because you took the extra step to take your dream seriously and act on it, rather than being content to wish it could happen. However, you’ve tasted the bitter “famine” bouts that come with the territory, forced yourself to puke up the fear and doubt that constantly try to turn you away from your goal. You’re the type that will crawl, or in the worst case, wiggle on when your strength fails (physically and spiritually). You are an entrepreneur. That name does not mean you’re unemployed – it means you’re unchained. If you’re in a famine bout right now, if you’re wiggling on with only a breath of sanity left, I offer you ten powerful, light-the-fire-under-your-butt quotes for your business and life.

The critical ingredient is GETTING OFF YOUR BUTT AND DOING SOMETHING.

It's as simple as that.

A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE IDEAS, BUT THERE ARE FEW WHO DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THEM NOW.

Not tomorrow. Not next week.

BUT TODAY.

THE TRUE ENTREPRENEUR IS A DOER, NOT A DREAMER.
