Thinking of the past year, you tend to wonder what could have been different to make things better. In business, it’s a similar thought process as you are able to check off the goals that you have accomplished from your list. Then you start creating new goals for the New Year with new people, new systems, and new ideas. It can get a bit daunting if you think of it, especially for an entrepreneur or solopreneur.

I love awesome quotes that inspire; one-liners that remind me of hope, dreams, and inspiration to keep myself going in this crazy world.

I’m not the only one who likes quotes. There are so many people who pin, like, and share quotes especially with beautiful images. It’s definitely part of visual marketing strategies.
