Quotes About Creativity to Reignite Your Entrepreneurial Spark
If I had a penny for every time that I stumbled across a inspirational quote on the internet… I would consider gathering all those pennies up, gluing them down one by one, and pouring resin over them to create one of those antique-looking penny floors - you know the ones? But I digress.
Over the years, I’ve found that the journey through entrepreneurship has had many ups and downs. Every once in a while, during times that felt a little more down, I’ve found myself latching onto an inspirational quote that felt particularly applicable to my biggest pain point at the time and treating it as a mantra of sorts. So, anytime I’ve found a quote that I connected with, I’ve added it to an ever-growing google doc and pulled it out on a rainy day to find some inspiration.
