Motivational Quotes to Kickstart the Year 2007

by Maricel Ferrer-Custodio on January 12th, 2007

After a long vacation, I’m off to start the new year with more motivation to fulfill my personal, business and financial goals.

I wanted to share to you some of the motivational quotes from one of the famous real estate businessman, pioneer and developer…Donald Trump!

1. "It’s tangible, it’s solid, it’s beautiful.  It’s artistic from my standpoint, and I just love real estate."
2. "I like thinking big. If you’re going to be thinking anything, you might as well think big."
3. "Everyday, you’ll have opportunities to take chances and to work outside your safety net.  Sure, it’s  easier to stay in your comfort zone…in my case business suits and real estate…but sometimes you have to take risks.  When the risks pay off, that’s when you reap the biggest rewards."
4. "Finding your purpose may be a lifelong pursuit or you may have discovered it when you were 5 years old.  There’s no absolute timeline for anyone.  That’s a good reason never to give up; to keep on discovering things everyday."
5. "What matters is where you want to go.  Focus in the right direction."
6. "Confidence can get you where you want to go, and getting there is a daily process! It’s so much easier when you feel good about yourself, your abilities and talents."
7. "Watch, listen and learn.  You can’t know it all yourself…anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity."
8. "Ever notice how your senses are heightened when you are in challenging situations.  You’re experiencing an adrenaline rush that gives you extra energy.  If you see everyday as a challenge, you’d be surprised how efficient you can become, and how much can be accomplished."
9. "When I started out in business, I spent a great deal of time researching every detail that might be pertinent to the deal I was making.  I still do the same today.  People often comment on how quickly I operate but the reason I can move quickly is that I’ve done the background work first, which no one usually sees.  I prepare myself thoroughly, and then when its time to move ahead, I am ready to sprint."
10. "People get caught up in wonderful eye-catching pitches, but they don’t do enough to close the deal.  It’s no good if you don’t make the sale.  Even if you’re foot is in the door or you bring someone in a conference room, you don’t win the deal unless you actually get them to sign on the dotted lines."
