Setting up & growing a business takes a lot of hard work & commitment. Along the way there will most likely be times where you just don’t have it in you to face another day slogging away at your desk with, at times, little reward.

What Motivates you?
Motivational quotes are great, they can often be the thing that triggers your own ideas and motivation to get the work done.
Have you ever had a “ah-ha” moment after reading a quote or listening to someone talk?
One of my favourites is the amazing Mel Robbins. She is just brilliant and an exceptional motivational speaker.
Mel speaks about productivity, achieving goals, overcoming mindset blocks and helping you better yourself.
Mel's mission statement:
“My mission is simple: to share proven tools that empower you to create a better life. And, it’s to make you feel a little less alone, to encourage you every step of the way, and laugh a lot as we learn and grow together.” – Mel Robbins
Ps. I’m not an affiliate to Mel – just a super-fan 😂🤩but I highly recommend giving her a listen / follow.
Reflections
Sometimes reading through inspirational quotes for female entrepreneurs can help refocus your mind and remind you why you're doing this thing! Remember, when things feel tough, or you doubt you'll ever get to where you want to be, take a bit of time to clear your head and then revisit your goals.
If you're stuck and have lost direction, remember why you started in the first place. All the ‘doing' makes it easy to forget why you wanted this change, so time for you is always a good starting point.
Take inspiration from others – there are so many amazing role models / leaders / speakers out there who are a little further ahead than where you are right now. Listen to their stories, pay attention to what resonates and motivate you.
