If you have a business idea you would like to explore before making the choice to pursue entrepreneurship as your next career move, then the Rubicon Centre can help you find the right programme for you to develop your idea. However, we know the road to success is not always sunshine and smiles but lucky for us there is no shortage of inspirational female entrepreneurs or motivational quotes. Here in the Rubicon, we have a community of entrepreneurs and mentors always on hand to offer support and guidance, motivation and encouragement. Below are just ten motivational quotes from inspiring and globally successful female entrepreneurs from various industries and businesses to keep you focused and passionate;
- “I became successful due to several reasons. I never gave up and I never let anyone or anything get in my way. I use the power of positive thinking to tackle obstacles and challenges so they don’t defeat me.”
Lillian Vernon, founder Lillian Vernon Corporation - “Surround yourself with a trusted and loyal team. It makes all the difference.”
Alison Pincus, co-founder of One Kings Lane - “When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has opened for us.”
Helen Keller, author, political activist, and speaker - “Whatever you do, be different – that was the advice my mother gave me, and I can’t think of better advice for an entrepreneur. If you’re different, you will stand out.”
Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop - “Perseverance is failing nineteen times and succeeding the twentieth.”
Julie Andrews, actress, singer, author - “As a leader, it’s a major responsibility on your shoulders to practice the behaviour you want others to follow.”
Himanshu Bhatia, Founder and CEO of Rose International Inc. - “Don’t limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can achieve.”
Mary Kay Ash, founder Mary Kay Cosmetics - “The most important thing is to not be 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, Founder of Ms. Fields Bakeries - “It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are & are willing to work with a power greater than ourselves to do it.”
Oprah Winfrey, Media mogul - “People don’t take opportunities because the timing is bad, the financial side unsecure. Too many people are overanalysing. Sometimes you just have to go for it.”
Michelle Zatly, Co-founder of SoundFlare
