“There is a real magic in enthusiasm. It spells the difference between mediocrity and accomplishment.”—Norman Vincent Peale.
He was one of the world’s great motivational speakers. Mr. Peale made people believe that they could accomplish great things in this world with their God-given talents. I recommend his books and articles to any entrepreneur who is dealing with self-doubt.

“Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds; all they have had, all they have now, and all they expect to have.”—Edward Everett Hale
This is quote is along the lines of “Don’t worry twice.” We must remember that stress, negative thoughts and worry are all needless obstacles that we place in front of ourselves on our paths to success. These are issues we can actually control.

"It is not the critic who counts, nor the man who points how the strong man stumbled or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly ... who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."—Theodore Roosevelt
An inspiring reminder that, as entrepreneurs, we are not sitting on the sidelines in the game of business and life.
