1. Steve Jobs, Apple

“Believe that things will work out somehow… follow your intuition and curiosity… trust your heart even when it leads you off the well-worn path… You have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future… The only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it… Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

2. Oprah Winfrey, Harpo

“What I know for sure is that if you want to have success, you can’t make success your goal. The key is not to worry about being successful, but to instead work toward being significant – and the success will naturally follow… If you do work that you love, and work that fulfills you, the rest will come. And, I truly believe, that the reason I’ve been able to be so financially successful is because my focus has never, ever for one minute been money. Would you do your job and not be paid for it? I would do this job, and take on a second job just to make ends meet if nobody paid me. That’s how you know you are doing the right thing.”

3. Tony Robbins, Anthony Robbins Co.

“A real decision is measured by the fact that you’ve taken a new action. If there’s no action, you haven’t truly decided… The most important thing you can do to achieve your goals is to make sure that as soon as you set them, you immediately begin to create momentum. The most important rules that I ever adopted to help me in achieving my goals were those I learned from a very successful man who taught me to first write down the goal, and then to never leave the site of setting a goal without first taking some form of positive action toward its attainment.”

4. Ted Turner, Turner Broadcasting

“All my life people have said that I wasn’t going to make it… You can never quit. Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”

5. Anita Roddick, The Body Shop

“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.”

6. Tony Robbins, Anthony Robbins Co.

“For changes to be of any true value, they’ve got to be lasting and consistent. Any time you sincerely want to make a change, the first thing you must do is to raise your standards… If you don’t set a baseline standard for what you’ll accept in life, you’ll find it’s easy to slip into behaviors and attitudes or a quality of life that’s far below what you deserve… Whatever happens, take responsibility… The only thing that’s keeping you from getting what you want is the story you keep telling yourself.”

7. Chris Gardner, Gardner Rich & Co.

“Find something that you love. Something that gets you so excited you can’t wait to get out of bed in the morning. Forget about money. Be happy.”

8. Donald Trump, The Trump Organization

“I was relentless, even in the face of total lack of encouragement, because much more often than you’d think, sheer persistence is the difference between success and failure.”

9. Isadore Sharp, Four Seasons

“Whatever you do, don’t ever use a crutch, and don’t ever think of having an excuse for not having said, ‘Yeah, I did my best.'”

10. Trip Hawkins, Electronic Arts

“One quality of entrepreneurship is just persistence, not giving up because you have road blocks and also not giving in because other people tell you that you’re nuts. You are nuts and you should be proud of it. Stick with what you believe in.”

  1. "Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."
    Calvin Coolidge

    Another favourite
    "If you're going through hell, keep going."
    Winston Churchill

  2. Good video, but you could have just put the text there as stills. Animation is off sync which makes it really hard to follow – and there was no need for it to be animated in the first place.

  3. The one that works for me every time is:
    "I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me" – Philippians 4:13
    AND
    "For with God all things are possible" -Mark 10:27

  4. never give up, never give in, never say die, never surrender. don't be afraid to change direction when needed, either. exercise and nutrition are crucial, as well. and don't forget to laugh!:)

  5. i like your top 3: Oprah, do it for love, not "success", not money; tony robbins: don't leave the site of your written goal w/o taking action; steve jobs: trust your love, go with it, all else is secondary.

  6. "If you live each day as it was your last, someday you will almost certainly be right"
    "Here's the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The rounds pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing that you can't do it 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 those who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do it."

    Two best quotes ever that have been carried on me. I often talk about my ideas and vision with my friends. Ninety percent of them say I'm really crazy on it. But I'm strongly confident that I will make it in the future. Thank you Steve Jobs for your words, your wisdom and your inspiration.

"The key is not to worry about being successful, but to instead work towards being significant-and the success will naturally follow. If you do work that you love, and work that fulfills you, the rest will come." – Thanks for the motivation for today Evan #BTA4

  10. The during PT shirt I used to wear said, "Pain is fear leaving the body" I had always thought of that in a physical sense but as an entrepreneur, I find that the bumps in the road that hurt me cause my fears to go away. don't quit.
