Read these business quotes when you need clarity at work

Sometimes you need a little nudge in the right direction – something to help you push ahead when things get tough. It’s easy to refer to strategies and strictly follow your Massive Action Plan, but sometimes you don’t need numbers or outlined steps to feel like you can do something great and create a breakthrough in your life. Instead, you need that emotional pull – a reminder of why you do this work in the first place.

Inspiration is a critical part of every business operation. We’ve collected these inspirational business quotes from Tony Robbins to get the fire burning under you again.

Inspirational business quotes

Reading a few meaningful business quotes before you start your day can be part of an effective morning ritual. These 20 inspirational business quotes from Tony Robbins cover multiple areas; one is sure to give you the extra drive you need.

Keep them handy for stressful or draining situations when you need a little extra clarity to help you make the right decisions. 

1. “Optimization simply means that you take a bunch of little things that don’t seem to be very difficult to change and all of those little changes have a multiplying effect and you get a giant change from all of those tiny changes.” 

2. “If we’re going to build a business, we not only need raving fan clients, we need a raving fan culture. Culture meaning everybody on your team works to create raving fan experiences. You’ve got to create raving fans if you want to be successful.”

3. “Management is focusing on getting someone to get a result. Leadership is producing a standard in someone that when you’re gone they will live by to produce higher level results consistently.”

4. “Passion is found in the field of the unreasonable. Anything is possible if you are clear about what you want and you have strong enough reasons and a real action plan – if you have unreasonable expectations for what will be required of you and you are willing to meet them.”

5. “The price of ignorance in business is obsolescence. Obsolescence in business in short order means extinction.”

6.“Willpower by itself is not enough. If we want to achieve lasting change, we must have an effective strategy.”

7. “Any time you have difficulty making an important decision, you can be sure that it’s the result of being unclear about your values.”

8. “Knowing you have failed to live up to your own standards is the ultimate pain, knowing that you have fulfilled your highest vision is the ultimate pleasure.”

9. “What we can or cannot do, what we consider possible or impossible, is rarely a function of our true capability. It is more likely a function of our beliefs about who we are.”

10. “Let fear be a counselor and not a jailer.”

14.“There is a powerful driving force inside every human being that, once unleashed, can make any vision, dream or desire a reality.”

When you understand that life is about creating meaning, you will see that you hold the power in the palm of your hands.
