If you\u2019ve made it this far, you\u2019re probably well on your way to either starting or growing your dream business. The truth is; though, whether your business is big, small, booming or just puttering along, every entrepreneur experiences the inevitable lull. A period where you don\u2019t have quite the same amount of \u201cget up and go\u201d as you did when the idea of starting your business was first born. When moments like these arise, it\u2019s important to not dwell on it, but instead, to stay energized and motivated. We hope this list from entrepreneurs, who have been in your same position, helps revive you to push through to work for your dream.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cQuality is more important than quantity. One home run is much better than two doubles.\u201d \u2013Steve Jobs<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIt is human nature, as we get older, to look for stability in our lives. But if you want to be a successful entrepreneur, you have to fight against that somewhat. Starting a business requires movement. You cannot stay still.\u201d \u2013Robert Herjavec<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIf people like you, they will listen to you, but if they trust you, they\u2019ll do business with you.\u201d \u2013Zig Ziglar<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cA brilliant idea doesn\u2019t guarantee a successful invention. Real magic comes from a brilliant idea combined with willpower, tenacity, and a willingness to make mistakes.\u201d \u2013Lori Greiner<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cDon\u2019t be afraid to give your best to seemingly small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.\u201d \u2013Dale Carnegie<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cNegativity is a blood-sucking, poisonous, good-for-nothing weed that kills any creative spark you have in business and life. Keep an optimistic attitude no matter what.\u201d \u2013Barbara Corcoran<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cMove out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.\u201d \u2013Brian Tracy<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIf people haven\u2019t laughed at your dreams, then you aren\u2019t dreaming big enough. Just keep pushing forward!\u201d \u2013Daymond John<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cIt\u2019s very easy to be different, but very difficult to be better.\u201d \u2013Jonathan Ive<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cWhatever the problem, be part of the solution. Don\u2019t just sit around raising questions and pointing out obstacles. We\u2019ve all worked with that person. That person is a drag.\u201d \u2013Tina Fey<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<h5><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cGreat entrepreneurs are not just passionate about their idea, but have enough passion to weather all the obstacles and see things through to the finish line.\u201d \u2013Barbara Corcoran<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations!
