One thing that always helps me when I am in a rut is to search out quotes from famous people, thought leaders, and experts. In fact, they don’t even need to be about business as long as you can adapt them to business. A year or so ago, I put together an infographic with quotes from U.S. Presidents that could be adapted for the business world. While this helped me for a while, I decided to put together a few more. Okay, I put together quite a few more (the “ultimate list”) to help inspire my marketing efforts.
There are thousands of inspirational marketing quotes available online. You can also get hints of wisdom from listening to speakers at conferences or webinars. Jot them down, tweet them, or simply keep them tucked away for when you need the inspiration. Here is the ultimate list of my favorites. Did I miss yours? Let me know your favorite inspirational marketing quotes in the comments below.
