But
as an entrepreneur you have to feel like you can jump out of an aeroplane

“You
have to be burning with an idea, or a problem, or a wrong that you want to right.
If you're not passionate enough from the start, you'll never stick it out.” –

“I made a resolve then that I was going to amount to
something if I could. And no hours, nor amount of labor, nor amount of

founder
“Don’t
limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do.
You can go as far as your mind lets you. What you believe, remember, you can
achieve.” —Mary Kay Ash, Mary Kay Cosmetics founder
“No more romanticizing about how cool it is to be an
entrepreneur. It’s a struggle to save your company’s life – and your own
skin – every day of the week.” —Spencer Fry, CarbonMade co-founder
“Timing,
perseverance, and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an
overnight success.” —Biz Stone, Twitter co-founder
