- Jeff Combs

A long while ago, a great warrior faced a situation which made it necessary for him to make a decision which insured his success on the battlefield. He was about to send his armies against a powerful foe, whose men outnumbered his own. He loaded his soldiers into boats, sailed to the enemy’s country, unloaded soldiers and equipment, then gave the order to burn the ships that had carried them. Addressing the men before the first battle, he said, “You see the boats going up in smoke. That means that we cannot leave these shores unless we win! We now have no choice—we win—or we perish!”

They won.

Every person who wins in any undertaking must be willing to burn his ships and cut all sources of retreat. Only by so doing can one be sure of maintaining that state of mind known as a burning desire to win, essential to success.”
- Napoleon Hill

As an entrepreneur, there is nothing you strive for more than success. You are already taking a chance on an opportunity you have that may or may not work out for you. To keep you motivated and striving for your goals, it is always nice to see quotes about success. Here are six quotes to push you toward your goals.

And if you are not an entrepreneur yet, I obviously suggest getting started with network marketing and you should read my 3 Essential Keys To Winning In Network Marketing to see what’s required to really make it in this renegade industry.

The person who gets the farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

-Dale Carnegie

Look, if you are going to succeed as an entrepreneur, you have to be willing to take risks and put yourself out there. Sometimes you will fall on your ass, but it’s part of the game. Sitting back and waiting for things to happen for you is NOT going to get you anywhere. It is the ones who pursue their goals that will come out on top.

The successful always has a number of projects planned, to which he looks forward. Anyone of them could change the course of his life overnight.

-Mark Caine

With the Internet presenting a number of opportunities to choose from, an entrepreneur always has the ability to boggle several things at once. This way if one project fails, there will be several others in line to potentially lead you to success. So definitely favor multiple streams of income and of course always brand yourself first!

Success doesn’t come to you…you go to it.

-Marva Collins

Whether you like it or not, people are NOT going to come to you and give you sales without doing something to get it. It is up to you to interact, market and promote your business consistently. By getting out and finding your target market, you will create success for yourself.

I discussed the target market issue when I advised you on how to discover and understand your market.

Success is a journey, not a destination.

-Ben Sweetland

Indeed one of my favorites! Many people strive their whole lives for success and become rich. However, success is not somewhere that you are going to land on and forever be successful. It is the entire journey and everything along the way that brings you success. The question is are YOU willing to go through the process or not?

Well, are you?

Success is not permanent. The same is also true of failure.

-Dell Crossword

Feeding off of the previous quotes about success, you have to realize that success is NOT permanent without permanent effort. You can NOT reach success and then kick back and relax. The worst thing about success is a little bit of it says Dani Johnson. Quite right Dani!

You have to constantly push and work hard (or outsource it). However, do not give up if you have not found success as of yet. You can always turn it around.

Seventy percent of success in life is showing up.

-Woody Allen

Of all of the quotes about success, this is the one that can carry you to the next level. Many people dream of becoming an entrepreneur but never actually pursue their dreams. Life kicks in and you give up your dreams to “get by.”

While there certainly is more to it than just showing up, a lot of it is getting the nerve and belief to take a chance and actually start a business. Therefore, a large portion of success is showing up and starting your home business. And it’s definitely possible and it’s by testimonial, so why not show up!

Have you started a home business yet? If not, go for it. It’s not that bad once you do it and of course there’s these 6 home business tax deductions you can take advantage plus a lot more perks.

You only get one shot at life anyway, so swing hard.

If you know me well enough, you know my definition of success is not exactly “textbook.” Success is an attitude, a state of mind, a habit, a voluntary decision, and a process you must go through.

With that said, here’s 13 qualities that successful people possess.

13 Qualities Of Successful People

1. Successful people have dreams.

Successful people are always driven by their dream. Art Williams of Primerica said of dreams in his amazing speech Do It:

“If you don’t have a dream, you’re dead.”

2. Successful people achieve.

All successful people are achievers. Hitting milestones and seeing a plan carried out and finished, whether it was perfect or not, is commonplace for successful people.

3. Successful people can commit to a process long-term.

Winning in business takes time. It may take up to five years before you really get your groove going. Successful people understand this and are able to commit to a process long-term.

4. Successful people have passion.

You have to have passion for what you do or at least why you’re doing it. Successful people understand that if there is no passion, they will resist the activities and habits to become successful.

5. Successful people have focus.

Ah, focus. Yes, successful people are locked on to a goal and they are like a rhino with their blinders down. You can’t stand in their way period.

6. Successful people make decisions.

Procrastination, the opposite of action, is the thieve of our time. Successful people know this and are able to make decisions relatively quickly without analyzing every little piece of detail over and over again.

7. Successful people hold themselves accountable for their actions.

It’s always easy to point the finger at someone else when something goes wrong. Quite frankly, this is too common for most people and it’s extremely pointless. Successful people understand this and hold themselves accountable for their own actions, period.

8. Successful people look for solutions to problems.

While some people look to whine and complain about problems, successful people look for a solution. They understand whining and complaining is a waste of time and there is much more value in looking for a solution to a problem.

9. Successful people engage in personal growth.

Successful people understand that your income follows your personal growth and thus they work on themselves quite often. You may want to consider a question right now: Are you working harder on your job than you are on yourself?

10. Successful people align themselves with successful people.

Birds of a feather flock together goes the old adage. And, typically, the income you make is the average of the 5 people you spend the most time with. Successful people understand this and they know they cannot afford to spend major time with minor people.

11. Successful people leverage the efforts of others.

Successful people understand trying to do everything yourself is hopeless and a surefire way to throw in the towel, so they leverage the efforts of others. And they are extremely attractive to individuals that can perform a given task better than themselves.

12. Successful people are optimistic.

Successful people always see the glass half full. It’s in their nature. If you can always remain optimistic, then you can commit to a process long-term on endeavors that can create you a fortune.

13. Successful people do not make excuses.

Excuses, also known as well planned lies, are the number one reason people don’t become successful. One of the biggest excuses is time.

These four words will destroy you: “I don’t have time.”

Successful people understand this and are willing to make time, even if requires sacrificing the endless hours of television most people watch.

So, how many of these qualities do you possess? Just be honest with yourself and start developing these 13 qualities and success will surely follow. Just remember, it may take a few years to get there and will require you to leave your comfort zone.
