1. “The critical
ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as

about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today. The true entrepreneur
is a doer, not a dreamer.” –Nolan Bushnell, entrepreneur.

ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.” - Scott Belsky, co-founder of Behance.

than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been

and over again in my life and that's why I succeed.” - Michael Jordan, NBA Hall
of Famer.
6. “There’s nothing
wrong with staying small. You can do big things with a small team.” - Jason
Fried, founder of 37signal.

in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never

never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.” - Winston
Churchill, British Prime Minister.
