Congratulations, you made it to Friday! We know it can be tough to find that last bit of inspiration you need to make it through the last day of the work week, so here’s some advice from some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. We hope this gives you a little extra push towards completing your weekly goals.

 

Keep it simple:

“Complexity is your enemy. Any fool can make something complicated. It is hard to keep things simple.”

Richard Branson – Virgin Group

 

Great products versus great profits:

“If you keep your eye on the profit, you’re going to skimp on the product. But if you focus on making really great products, then the profits will follow.”

 Steve Jobs – Apple

 

Outwork and outlearn:

“It’s not about money or connections – it’s the willingness to outwork and outlearn everyone… And if it fails, you learn from what happened and do a better job next time.”

Mark Cuban – Dallas Mavericks

 

If something’s not working, find another way:

“Should you find yourself in a chronically leaking boat, energy devoted to changing vessels is likely to be more productive than energy devoted to patching leaks.”

Warren Buffet – Berkshire Hathaway

 

The path to success:

“Grow with discipline. Balance intuition with rigor. Don’t embrace the status quo. Find new ways to see. Get your hands dirty. Tell your story, refusing to let others define you. Use authentic experiences to inspire. Stick to your values, they are your foundation. Hold people accountable, but give them the tools to succeed. Be decisive in times of crisis. Be nimble. Find truth in trials and lessons in mistakes. Believe.”

Howard Schultz – Starbucks
