SHOULD ANYONE HAVE ISSUES WITH ANYTHING I WRITE IN MY BLOGS, PLEASE HAVE THE COURTESY OF ADDRESSING THEM WITH ME PRIVATELY (PM) BEFORE HITTING THE SPAM BUTTON. I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR REASONS. MUCH APPRECIATED!


Greetings From The Jersey Shore

Hello my amazing Wealthy Affiliate friends! Hope everyone is safe and well!

A while ago I found some business quotes and wanted to share them with you. They come from and article I read, but I do not remember where the article came from.

You may be aware of these, but I thought they were important enough to be repeated.

There are 45 quotes, so I will break them up into group blogs.

Here are the first 20 quotes!

1. “The secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old but on building the new.” — Socrates, father of Western philosophy

2. “Always deliver more than expected.” — Larry Page, co-founder of Google

3. “Don’t take too much advice. Most people who have a lot of advice to give — with a few exceptions — generalize whatever they did. Don’t over-analyze everything. I myself have been guilty of over-thinking problems. Just build things and find out if they work.” — Ben Silbermann, founder of Pinterest

4.“If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.” — John Quincy Adams, 6th President of the United States

5. “Every time we launch a feature, people yell at us.” — Angelo Sotira, co-founder of deviantART

6.“Be undeniably good. No marketing effort or social media buzzword can be a substitute for that.” — Anthony Volodkin, founder of Hype Machine

7. “What do you need to start a business? Three simple things: know your product better than anyone, know your customer, and have a burning desire to succeed.” — Dave Thomas, Founder of Wendy’s

8. “If you can’t feed a team with two pizzas, it’s too large.” — Jeff Bezos, Founder and CEO of Amazon

9. “If people like you, they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you.” — Zig Ziglar, author, salesman, and motivational speaker

10. “If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.” — Reid Hoffman, co-founder of LinkedIn

11. “The value of an idea lies in the using of it.” — Thomas Edison, co-founder of General Electric

12. “The stars will never align, and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. ‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually,’ just do it and correct course along the way.” — Tim Ferriss, author of The 4-Hour Work Week

13. “Make every detail perfect and limit the number of details to perfect.” — Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter

14. “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do.” — Steve Jobs, co-founder, Chairman and CEO of Apple Inc.

15. “Always look for the fool in the deal. If you don’t find one, it’s you.” — Mark Cuban, AXS TV Chairman and entrepreneur

16. “Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.” — Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft

17. “If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out.” — Mark Zuckerberg, founder of Facebook

18. “If you define yourself by how you differ from the competition, you’re probably in trouble.” — Omar Hamoui, co-founder of AdMob

19. “Wonder what your customer really wants? Ask. Don’t tell.” — Lisa Stone, co-founder and CEO of BlogHer

20. “When you find an idea that you just can’t stop thinking about, that’s probably a good one to pursue.” — Josh James, CEO and co-founder of Omniture
