<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve all been there. We\u2019re out of ideas and nothing new is coming to our tired and weary minds. When these moments strike, I\u2019ve always been a fan of reading quotes to get me out of that funk, whether it\u2019s writing a term paper or coming up with new business ventures.<\/p>\n

You could type, \u201cAwesome business quotes\u201d into Google.com and waste a couple hours or if you need just a quick read, then I\u2019ve got you covered. I\u2019ve found several quotes from the people who actually know what they\u2019re talking about. I hope you find one that makes you stop and think.<\/p>\n

Direct from the titans of industry,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cAs long as you\u2019re going to be thinking anyway, think big.\u201d – Donald Trump<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI think a smart woman can sell the average man anything,\u201d \u2013 Leo Burnett<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful.\u201d Warren Buffet<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“There are moments in our lives when we summon the courage to make choices that go against reason, against common sense and the wise counsel of people we trust. But we lean forward nonetheless because, despite all risks and rational argument, we believe that the path we are choosing is the right and best thing to do. We refuse to be bystanders, even if we do not know exactly where our actions will lead.” – Howard Schultz (CEO of Starbucks)<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers… The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the ones who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.” -Steve Jobs<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cSuccess is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.\u201d \u2013 Bill Gates<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Give me a stock clerk with a goal and I’ll give you a man who will make history. Give me a man with no goals and I’ll give you a stock clerk. \u2013 J.C. Penney<\/em><\/p>\n

These men have summed up exactly what is important when thinking of new ideas. Don\u2019t think small, think as big as you can and don\u2019t focus on whether it\u2019ll be a success or a failure right away \u2013 that\u2019ll come later. Ultimately, you have to trust yourself and your instincts. The critics out there will always find something to complain about, so there\u2019s no reason to worry about them.<\/p>\n

As long as you have an imagination and the will to work hard, you\u2019ll be great! Take a deep breathe, go for a walk, just get out of the current mindset you\u2019re in and watch as things fall into place.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Some other quotes to use for another rainy day,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cSuccess is liking yourself, liking what you do, and liking how you do it.\u201d\u00a0 Maya Angelou<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cIt is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.\u201d \u2013 Franklin D. Roosevelt<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMany of life’s failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.\u201d- Thomas Alva Edison<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I think defining the word, \u201csuccess\u201d is one of those words that is impossible to do so. For some people, it\u2019s having a Scrooge McDuck vault of gold coins at their disposable. For others, having money to go out to dinner twice a week is considered a success. Either way, as long as you\u2019re happy with yourself, what you do, and how you did it, you\u2019re a success!<\/p>\n

You can\u2019t beat the old standby, \u201ctry, try, try again\u201d to get you through those tough times. But it\u2019s so true! Even though your idea didn\u2019t work the first time, that doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019re a failure. It\u2019s really easy to get swept up in that mindset, but resist the urge and try something new the next time.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t let those disastrous thoughts of not being good enough or failing at everything you try stop you. You may be right on the path towards greatness and each failed attempt is leading you closer to the successful ending you\u2019ve been searching for.<\/p>\n

Just keep plugging away and when you get stuck, consult these quotes and think about the person who originally said them. If they stopped at every bump in the road, they probably wouldn\u2019t have ended up where they did. Now, go get \u2018em tiger!<\/p>\n
