Inspirational Quotes

In business, as in life, it has become common to use inspirational quotes to emphasise a particular point or perspective. In this video, I discuss the dangers of  adopting this approach and use three examples from famous people to illustrate my points. The famous people mentioned are Winston Churchill, Henry Ford and Tony Robbins.  I also discuss another consideration that is rarely mentioned, I hope you find my video useful.

Stopped Using Quotes

Once, I identified the problems with using quotes in marketing materials, I stopped using them. A few years ago, I filmed a series on YouTube entitled, Quotations for Life. I would not film such a series now. I hope you have found my video discussion useful.

Has this video caused you to re-consider your approach with quotes? Let me know in the comments section below.

Our first post of inspirational quotes was very well received and hopefully today’s post will be as well.  All quotes are in the public domain and any word omitted is to ensure that the brand police leave us alone – we shall see.

“They don’t give (word omitted related to new post code) medals out for talking a good game.”

We hope that you have found these quotes inspirational and we hope that our caution with regard to a particular word did not affect your enjoyment of the post.Personally I found the third quote by Natalie du Toit to be very inspirational and the final quote by Steve Backley to be very relevant for business. Which were your favourites?
