Quote This! – Failure

You are here: Home / Starting a Micro / Quote This! – Failure

Looking to start your own micro business? Find inspiration through Quote This!, a short blog series dedicated to sharing encouraging quotes for teen micro business owners. 

History has revealed that where they have been many business successes, there have also been missteps. Fortunately, we can learn from these mistakes. Look at what these wise individuals have to say about failure:

“I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” – Thomas Edison, American inventor and businessman

“Failure defeats losers, failure inspires winners.” – Robert T. Kiyosaki, American investor, businessman, and author

“Once you say you’re going to settle for second, that’s what happens to you in life.” – John F. Kennedy, 35th President of the United States

“The biggest failure you can have in life is never trying at all.” – Emil Motycka, microbusiness owner

Thank you for your e-book on teen micro businesses. Your valuable experience and wealth of knowledge is vast.

Your presentations at Cincinnati homeschool conferences and sharing with us over the years have benefited us well.
