Quote This! – Leadership

You are here: Home / Running a Micro / Quote This! – Leadership

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. 

A team can excel or break under its leadership. As you manage and grow your micro business, you might one day need to hire an assistant or a few employees. How well will you lead them? Find some encouragement in these words about leadership:

“Leadership is doing what is right when no one is watching.” – George van Valkenburg, CEO and president of PatentPlaquesDirect

“Leaders don’t force people to follow, they invite them on a journey.” – Charles S. Lauer, author, public speaker, and award-winning businessman

“The difference between a boss and a leader: a boss says, ‘Go!’ – a leader says, ‘Let’s go!'” – E.M. Kelly, author

“Example is not the main thing in influencing other people; it’s the only thing.” – Abraham Lincoln, 16th President of the United States

“I am more afraid of a hundred sheep led by a lion than an army of one hundred lions led by a sheep.” – Charles Maurice, 19th century French diplomat

From a parent

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.

I can hardly believe we are at this point in our life-and here he is a young man ready to try his fortune with the world.
