Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced. Entrepreneurs need to search purposefully for the sources of innovation, the changes and their symptoms that indicate opportunities for successful innovation. And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.
Peter Drucker

When you reach an obstacle, turn it into an opportunity. You have the choice. You can overcome and be a winner, or you can allow it to overcome you and be a loser. The choice is yours and yours alone. Refuse to throw in the towel. Go that extra mile that failures refuse to travel. It is far better to be exhausted from success than to be rested from failure.
Mary Kay Ash

Michael Gerber

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.

Chinese proverb

If it really was a no-brainer to make it on your own in business there'd be millions of no-brained, harebrained, and otherwise dubiously brained individuals quitting their day jobs and hanging out their own shingles. Nobody would be left to round out the workforce and execute the business plan.

Intuition Quotes

Knowledge has three degrees—opinion, science, illumination. The means or instrument of the first is sense; of the second, dialectic; of the third, intuition.
Plotinus

The fact that modern physics, the manifestation of an extreme specialisation of the rational mind, is now making contact with mysticism, the essence of religion and manifestation of an extreme specialisation of the intuitive mind, shows very beautifully the unity and complementary nature of the rational and intuitive modes of consciousness; of the yang and the yin.
Fritjof Capra

We need to be willing to let our intuition guide us, and then be willing to follow that guidance directly and fearlessly.
Shakti Gawain

Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer.
Robert Graves

You have to leave the city of your comfort and go into the wilderness of your intuition. What you`ll discover will be wonderful. What you`ll discover is yourself.
Alan Alda

I don't believe in intuition. When you get sudden flashes of perception, it is just the brain working faster than usual. But you've been getting ready to know it for a long time, and when it comes, you feel you've known it always.
Katherine Anne Porter

All great men are gifted with intuition. They know without reasoning or analysis, what they need to know.
Alexis Carrel

Intuition is usually translated as wahi. It is the mode of revelation through a mysterious faculty different from mind; yet it comes through mindless mind. The knowledge which intuition obtains comes as a result of a mysterious identification of the consciousness with the unseen worlds. These worlds are made up of luminous matter called nur, existing in sheaths within sheaths, nurun ala nur. Man is connected with all these worlds.
M.H.Abdi

Intuition comes very close to clairvoyance; it appears to be the extrasensory perception of reality.
Alexis Carrel

The mind can assert anything and pretend it has proved it. My beliefs I test on my body, on my intuitional consciousness, and when I get a response there, then I accept.
DH Lawrence

God gave women intuition and femininity. Used properly, the combination easily jumbles the brain of any man I've ever met.
Farrah Fawcett

Intuition is truly a feminine quality, but women should not mistake rash conclusions for this gift.
Minna Antrim

Intuition isn't the enemy, but the ally, of reason.
John Kord Lagemann

For whereas the mind works in possibilities, the intuitions work in actualities, and what you intuitively desire, that is possible to you. Whereas what you mentally or "consciously" desire is nine times out of ten impossible; hitch your wagon to a star, or you will just stay where you are.
DH Lawrence


I may have been lucky with some sort of intuition, but I believe in training a great deal.
David Selby

Never ignore a gut feeling, but never believe that it's enough.
Robert Heller


I would rather trust a woman's instinct than a man's reason.

Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.

The smallest flower is a thought, a life answering to some feature of the Great Whole, of whom they have a persistent intuition.
Honoré de Balzac
