Friday is here. To some, it means that they can leave their boring old cubicle or the crammed open space office to finally enjoy the wonders of life. What does Friday mean to us, entrepreneurs? Well, it probably means that we should get ready for a busy weekend filled with tasks, clients and management duties.
This means that our small yet flourishing circle requires the inspiration more than any other group of people in the world. And is there a better source than quotes that have managed to light the hearts and souls of millions?

“Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It’s quite simple, really: Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn’t at all. You can be discouraged by failure or you can learn from it, so go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because remember that’s where you will find success.”
— Thomas J. Watson

“You know you are on the road to success if you would do your job, and not be paid for it.”
