Carol shares 19 of her favorite inspirational quotes from others, and one of her own, in “20 Inspirational Quotes for Entrepreneurs,” a recent post on Bank of America’s Small Business Community. Carol begins:
You have already demonstrated a sense of optimism if you have taken the leap into entrepreneurship. However, as the business roller coaster goes through its peaks and valleys, maintaining a positive attitude and the drive to keep going can be difficult.

Consider posting your favorites in plain view as a constant reminder of the leadership, persistence and motivation you need to stay the course and make your business an even bigger success.
