Inspirational Quotes for Your Business

[Pages:22]Inspirational Quotes for Your Business

WHAT INSPIRES YOU?

When the COVID-19 pandemic struck in March 2020, the world as we knew it changed in the blink of an eye. Business as usual as was no longer an applicable concept. Millions of Americans lost their jobs and thousands of businesses closed their doors for good. Those who were fortunate enough to have the ability to work from home scrambled to make the most of their new reality.

The future was bleak and uncertain, but we had to keep moving forward.

To help our recruiting and sales teams at Odyssey Information Services remain focused, encouraged and inspired to reach their goals, I began researching inspirational quotes and presented a different one at each of our morning meetings. I've accumulated more than 100 quotes since then, and I want to share them with you.

As Tony Dorsett once said: "To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you."

Finding and sharing these quotes helped build my spirit and resolve for this year, and I hope they will do the same for you.
