Success Quote
- ‘Because, in the end, being an entrepreneur is more than ever the way you can choose your path and find the deep satisfaction of walking it. You can earn your days without being beholden. You can make something affect the world, leave something behind where nothing stood. You can turn work into meaning for yourself and others. You can be proud. You can leave a wake. Come good or ill, you can assume responsibility for yourself, and be whole, and be who you were meant to be.’ – Inc Magazine
