It's not easy staying motivated.

Especially when your goal is to build a business.

But anytime you feel like giving up, just turn back to these 6 simple quotes (to remind you why you're doing what you're doing):

"Done is better than perfect." ~ Cheryl Sandburg

Action and progress is more important than the pursuit of perfection, which can lead to delays and missed opportunities.

"Not making a choice is still a choice." ~ Unknown

Not making a choice and reverting to the default, is still a choice which can lead to consequences for the inaction.

"You don’t need to see the whole staircase, just take the first step." ~ Martin Luther King Jr.

Take the first step to get into motion. Motion leads to momentum.

"A goal without a timeline is just a wish." ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

Timelines put your goals into action so they become your reality.

"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the things you did." ~Mark Twain

We tend not to regret what we do, we end up regretting the things we didn't do and the experiences we missed out on.

"Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference." ~ Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr

This quote is used in many recovery groups and I found it invaluable when I got sober in 2019. It’s important to recognize the limitations of what we can and cannot control, and to focus our efforts on the things that we can change - and we can certainly change our addictions..
