For those moments when we lose sight of the horizon and see problems in every decision we make, these motivational quotes will help you stay focused and give you the encouragement not to give up. Some come from world-renowned figures and others from people like you and me. I hope you find them helpful.

  1. If you stumble and fall, get back up with energy. If you stumble again, get up again. If you stumble a third time, don’t walk: sit down and work out why you keep stumbling.

  2. Success is never guaranteed, but only those who take risks achieve it.

  3. When you find an obstacle in your path, don’t focus on it; focus on what you’ll gain once you’ve overcome it.

  4. The key to your future success is hidden in your daily life.

  5. You’ll never keep moving forward if you only look back.

  6. In business, as at a poker table, if after a while you still can’t tell who the sucker is, it’s you.

  7. Whether you think you’re worth a lot or you think you’re worth little, you’re right.

  8. The lazy man walks so slowly that poverty soon catches up with him.

  9. If people throw bricks at your venture to try to bring it down, use every one of those bricks to build a solid building.

  10. If you never invest in yourself, it may be because you don’t consider yourself a good investment.

  11. A fool and his money are soon parted.

  12. If you can dream it, you can do it.

  13. Money doesn’t buy happiness, but it helps you find it.
