Introduction:
There was a period in my life when everything was just stagnant and I was pondering
on what to do. At that point I was considering of resigning from my paid job to start my
own business. I knew what I wanted but I do not have the boldness to do so, sometimes
I will be so confidence that I can start my business and succeed while at other times I
will find several reasons why I can’t do it.
I tried to motivate myself by attending business seminar, reading self development
books and listening to life transforming audio CD’s but nothing really happened until I
came across a particular quote which really change my outlook about the situation and
uphold my confidence and suppress my fear and doubt.
The quote became my favorite from that time till date and the quote happened to be
from one of the most successful men on earth because of the lives he has transformed
through his books, seminars, trainings, personal counseling and quotes.
After discovering that my favorite quote, I have also discovered others which has help
me to sail through the dark early days of my career as an events manager & audio
visual rentals, motivational speaker, business coach and author.
One of Newton’s laws of motion states that: “All objects remain in the state of rest until a
force is applied”. This may be true also of our aspirations and dreams in life. Things do
not move until motivations and inspiration are applied from time to time.
This and other reasons are why I took my time to select 101 most motivating and
inspiring quotes ever which I believe you will find encouragement and make decision to

yet ended up building successful businesses.

why he willingly quit his job is to follow his heart to start
businesses he has always dreamt of doing.
