The nature of being an entrepreneur means that you fully embrace change and are comfortable with being challenged regularly. Choosing this career path is completely irrational because the odds of succeeding are very small, but most succeed because of their unwavering belief, laser focus on delivering and persistence.
This is something that we see constantly at Fornerod, Switzerland's #1 fastest growing sales & digital marketing agency helping businesses, large and small, to dominate their industries globally.
Starting a company is a riveting roller coaster of emotions with tremendous highs and at times, difficult lows, but one thing that always helps me personally through the ups and downs is to connect with some of the greatest minds. So, I have curated below just a few of my favourite quotes that I hope will uplift you and inspire your journey.
