21 inspirational quotes about business

11/21/2023 by

QUOTES ABOUT BUSINESSIf you want to get seriously rich, then having your own business is probably the best, if not the only, way to do it.

Certainly, that would be true for most people.

Unless you’re a Hollywood A-lister, an investment banker on Wall Street or a top player in the NFL, the English Premier League or the Indian Premier League.

Otherwise, very few jobs would provide you with the means to get seriously rich beyond your dreams.

However, business is not for the faint-hearted; that’s important to recognize.

You’ll need to think big, and you must be prepared to take calculated risks. You must also be prepared to work very hard if you’re going to succeed in business.

There is no such thing as easy money. Your business must add value to people’s lives.

Adding value means offering customers products that provide them with real solutions to their problems.

You must offer good customer service too.

Great products and exceptional customer service will certainly attract customers, but the other key ingredient for business success is to manage money carefully, particularly when it comes to costs.

Money will flow into your business, and money will flow out too. The trick is to make sure that MONEY IN always exceeds MONEY OUT. And that’s easier said than done.

Get it the other way around for too long, and your business will go bankrupt.

Business success can be yours, but you have to be serious about it, and you have to be very professional too.

That said, it can be done, and people do. And if other people can do it, so can you.

Here are 21 inspirational quotes about business to help you think about it.
