Do you ever seem like you are running into a brick wall when it comes to building success in your online business?  

Or maybe you had the best day ever, breaking sales and income records and jumping for joy?

One thing is for sure, your entrepreneur journey will have it’s ups and downs.  That is why I like to stay inspired, determined and motivated which is the fuel that will keep you going and pushing you towards your goals and dreams.

Let me share with you my favorite 5 ‘mini’ motivational quotes for your online business success:

“You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.” ~ Zig Ziglar

Success doesn’t happen until you make it happen.  So I love this quote from Zig Ziglar, simple and to the point.  If you are waiting, thinking you need to ‘know it all’ before getting started building your online business, then success is going to be a struggle.  Taking massive action each day are the stepping stones to being great.

“Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.” ~ Wayne Dyer

We don’t know what the future will bring.  But we can do whatever it takes right now to have success in building our online business.  Wayne Dyer is brilliant entrepreneur and this is a good reminder to live for today that will build our future and we can achieve the goals and dreams we want.

“Do not watch the clock. Do what it does. Keep going.” ~ Sam Levenson

I recently shared a post about timing is everything when it comes to thinking about leaving your 9 to 5 job.  If you are a clock watcher, then you just might be in a cubicle wanting to break free and change your life.  As Sam Levenson says, do what the clock does, it keeps ticking, going.  Get out of your comfort zone and make a decision to get started or if you are building your online business, keep going, never stop, never give up!

“I’ve failed over and over and over again. And that is why I succeed.” ~ Michael Jordan

Leave it to Michael Jordan to share a simple truth.  You can’t succeed without failing.  And failure is really the lessons that you learn from.  We grow and become more confident in what we need to do to have greater success in building our online business.  And I know Michael Jordan wasn’t afraid to take a shot, time and time again, which is a great takeaway for any up and coming entrepreneur.

“Either you run the day or the day runs you.” ~ Jim Rohn

There are going to be many distractions and obstacles each day.  As we grow and work our online business, taking control each day is important to our success.  Jim Rohn says it best in this quote and a reminder to have a clear plan for your day, stick to it, take action and get results.

Hopefully you enjoyed these mini motivational quotes and they helped to inspire you today to do a little more, be a little more and dream a little more so you can have greater success in your life, in your business and in your future.

  1. I really like the Zig Zigler quote at the beginning. It all starts with that kind of thinking. Thank you for sharing.

  2. Great Post Lynn. My favourite quote that always inspires me to keep pushing.
    “I’ve failed over and over and over again. And that is why I succeed.” ~ Michael Jordan
    thanks for sharing.

  3. These quotes are great Lynn,
    These are more than quotes, these are instructions to reaching a more successful life.
    Many people, and I used to be one of these people, would just read these quotes to feel happy, but never really implement them.
    The real success comes when you take action on what you are learning.
    Thanks,
    – Nestor

  4. What great value there is from those 5 quotes Lynn. I love me some Zig Ziglar. 🙂 If people would truly really, really listened to these quotes, they would be successful in a heart beat. Thank you for sharing. Netty and Sam Estes

  5. The fact that someone actually said Michael Jordan “wasn’t very athletic” cracks me up to this day. You picked some great idols to quote from today. Thanks for sharing this~!

  6. I can’t believe I had never heard the Clock one before from Sam Levenson..that was a fun one!! Thanks for putting this great post together Lynn…or should I say Another Great Post!

  7. Wow, awesome powerful quotes Lynn! I hadn’t heard the clock one before “Do not watch the clock. Do what it does. Keep going.” I love this! Thanks for sharing!

  8. Great quotes, Lynn. My favorite is still the first one by Zig Ziglar. It’s at the root of any change someone wishes to impart on their life. ‘You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great’. How awesome is that? And so true. Sitting on the sidelines won’t accomplish anything. You need to START to have a chance to get what you want. Thanks for sharing these. They’re all awesome!

  9. And you know Sabrey, that is a quote or even an affirmation that can be said every day. It really makes a statement. Thank you for your comments!

  10. Great point Nestor. These quotes are not only inspirational but will guide us as long as we keep taking action. Thank you for sharing your awesome insight!

  11. It is amazing how even the shortest inspiration can make the biggest impact. And I agree Netty and Sam, we can be inspired by so many awesome mentors like Zig Ziglar. Appreciate your comments!

  12. I know that is hilarious. Glad you enjoyed the quote today Tamara and always appreciate your comments. Thank you!

  13. I hadn’t either Alesha, but it was a great lead in back to my preivous post! lol plus it is a good quote, like you say, to just keep going. Thank you for your comments today.

  14. Thanks DrSteve! getting started is certainly key and probably one of the main reasons so many people never achieve their dreams. Appreciate you sharing your insight!

  15. Aloha Lynn,
    I love the quote by Dr. Wayne Dyer. I have read a lot of his work and make a tremendous amount of sense.
    Through him I have found writers like Eckhart Tolle and Anita Moorjani and have found much in there writing as well.
    Any time I find an uplifting quote or message I will save it a build a blog post around it. There are so many people that are having an impact on my life that I won’t run out of blog ideas for a very long time…
    Great post… Keep It Up!

  16. Yes, that is so true Tod, really are so many incredible inspiring and uplifting mentors and influencers that we will never run out of blog post ideas. Appreciate you stopping by today and sharing your thoughts, thank you!

  17. Man Lynn! Love your posts! Jim Rohn is my fav! I am a sucker for him. . . but it’s just straight up the truth. The day is gonna happen, with or without you. It is up to you as to whether you are in control of running it or if you are just going to let it run by you as you do nothing! Great content! Keep it up chica!

  18. Really appreciate that Laura! and I agree, Jim Rohn is a fav of mine too! thanks so much for adding your takeaway as you are always inspiring people with your positive, uplifting spirit!

  19. I’m trying to decide which of the quotes you chose I like best and I can’t. They’re ALL great! I always love Jim Rohn. The Sam Levenson quote is impactful. Nice lesson in that quick phrase. If we don’t look back and simply keep moving forward we’ll attain our goals. Probably the simplest way to think of it, right? Just keep going! Thanks Lynn.

  20. Absolutely Matt and good to hear you liked them all. I’m impacted every day by others that share the positive spirit of achieving our goals and dreams. Thanks so much for sharing your comments today!
