All men’s gains are the fruit of venturing.
Herodotus
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
The entrepreneur is not really interested in doing the work; he is interested in creating the way the company operates. In that regard, the entrepreneur is an inventor. He or she loves to invent, but does not love to manufacture or sell or distribute what he or she invents.
Michael Gerber
I did something that challenged the banking world. Conventional banks look for the rich; we look for the absolutely poor. All people are entrepreneurs, but many don't have the opportunity to find that out.
Muhammad Yunus
The entrepreneur always searches for change, responds to it, and exploits it as an opportunity.
Peter Drucker
Experience taught me a few things. One is to listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper. The second is that you're generally better off sticking with what you know. And the third is that sometimes your best investments are the ones you don't make.
Donald Trump
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
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 important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.
Debbi Fields
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
I was seldom able to see an opportunity until it had ceased to be one.
Mark Twain
We were young, but we had good advice and good ideas and lots of enthusiasm.
Bill Gates
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.
Nolan Bushnell
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
The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
Vidal Sassoon
A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them.
Henry Kravis
An entrepreneur tends to bite off a little more than he can chew hoping he'll quickly learn how to chew it.
Roy Ash
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
To venture causes anxiety but not to venture is to lose one’s self.
Soren Kierkegaard
Profit is the payment you get when you take advantage of change.
Joseph A. Schumpeter
I've always said that the better off you are, the more responsibility you have for helping others. Just as I think it's important to run companies well, with a close eye to the bottom line, I think you have to use your entrepreneurial experience to make corporate philanthropy effective.
Carlos Slim Helu
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
There is nothing more difficult to handle, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its outcome, than to take the lead in introducing a new order of things.
Niccolo Machiavelli
Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.
Peter Drucker
An established company which, in an age demanding innovation, is not able to innovate, is doomed to decline and extinction.
Peter Drucker
Entrepreneurship is the ability to create and build from a vision practically nothing: fundamentally it is a human, creative act.
Jeffry Timmons
I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others… I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent.
Thomas Edison
If you want one year of prosperity, grow grain. If you want ten years of prosperity, grow trees. If you want one hundred years of prosperity, grow people.
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.
Bill Rancic
But do your thing, and I shall know you. Do your work, and you shall reinforce yourself.
Emerson
Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.
Richard Branson
The best way to predict the future is to invent it.
Alan Kay
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.
Stanley Baldwin
I have trusted to my intuition to find the subjects, and I have written intuitively. I have an idea when I start, I have a shape; but I will fully understand what I have written only after some years.
V.S. Naipaul
Intuition is a spiritual faculty and does not explain, but simply points the way.
Florence Scovel Shinn
You must train your intuition -- you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide.
Ingrid Bergman
A leader or a man of action in a crisis almost always acts subconsciously and then thinks of the reasons for his action.
Jawaharlal Nehru
Creativity comes from trust. Trust your instincts. And never hope more than you work.
Rita Mae Brown
The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift.
Albert Einstein
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
