Love, Work, and Money

by Alyssa Gruber

What I believe makes entrepreneurs so special is their ability to pursue a passion. Whether that passion revolves around a particular talent of their own or is directed toward improving the quality of life for others, it takes a tremendous amount of courage, confidence, and determination to follow a dream and turn it into a career.

It seems that people driven solely by money rarely find true happiness. Sure, they may become wealthy if they work hard enough, but ultimately there’s little satisfaction in financial success devoid of meaning, especially if the job’s not enjoyable to begin with.

Those who realize that doing something they love and are good at is more important than being rich will most likely come out on top. Success lies in passion, and fortune accompanies fulfillment.

Here are some inspirational quotes on entrepreneurship:

I will tell you how to become rich. Close the doors. Be fearful when others are greedy. Be greedy when others are fearful - Warren Buffet, investor and billionaire

I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others... I find out what the world needs, then I proceed to invent - Thomas Edison, inventor and scientist

The entrepreneur in us sees opportunities everywhere we look, but many people see only problems everywhere they look. The entrepreneur in us is more concerned with discriminating between opportunities than he or she is with failing to see the opportunities - Michael Gerber, author, entrepreneur

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary -Steve Jobs, co-founder of Apple and Pixar
