Quotes About Success

45 Inspirational Quotes from Female Leaders 1

Whether you spend one hour or a whole week working on your project, remember that success comes from hard work – not taking shortcuts. Make use of your time and implement practices to work smarter rather than harder. If you find a certain task is taking up too much of your time, ask for help or use online resources to outsource the dreaded small things.

  • “We need to get women to the point where they aren’t apologizing. It’s time to take ownership in our success.” – Tory Burch, Fashion Designer and Businesswoman
  • “When I was younger, I was a bit of an achievement addict, viewing success like a ladder. I loved the high of climbing to the next rung to get a new title or raise. Today, I look at it more like a mountain with lots of beautiful peaks and valleys that are all totally worthy of my time.” – Michelle Lee, Editor-in-Chief, Allure Magazine
  • “It’s easy to kill an idea with a no, but the smartest people in the room learn how to say yes and make it work.” – Lisa Gersh, CEO of Goop

45 Inspirational Quotes from Female Leaders 2

Success means something different to everyone. Most of the time, you are already equipped with the skills and talent you need to achieve your goals. It just takes a lot of practice and passion.

  • “I think success needs to be defined on your own terms. If you look to outside sources (friends, media, the internet) for constant validation, you will never feel fulfilled.” – Jaclyn Johnson, Author and CEO of Create and Cultivate

  • “Don’t let anyone rob you of your imagination, your creativity, or your curiosity. It’s your place in the world; it’s your life. Go on and do all you can with it, and make it the life you want to live” – Mae Jemison, Engineer and NASA Astronaut

Quotes About Failure

45 Inspirational Quotes from Female Leaders 3

There is no such thing as success without failure along the way. Rather than letting one misstep alter your path, learn from your mistakes and talk to others who have encountered similar circumstances. Failure usually teaches us more about ourselves than any other experience.

  • “Do not be afraid! Do not worry about fear of failure and fear of what others think.” – Bola Sokunbi, Clever Girl Finance
  • “When you take risks you learn that there will be times when you succeed and there will be times when you fail and both are equally important.” – Ellen DeGeneres, Comedian and TV Host

  • “There is no innovation and creativity without failure. Period.” – Brené Brown, Research Professor
45 Inspirational Quotes from Female Leaders 4

Fear accompanies failure and often gets in the way of success. Rather than living a life of not taking any chances, try something new and uncomfortable to expand your personal growth.

  • “I think it’s great to be flawed. I am hugely flawed, and I like it this way. That’s the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you.” – Priyanka Chopra, Actress, Singer, and Film Producer
  • “You won’t know until you try. Create without fear. If you mess up, who cares? You learn and move on.” – Michelle McHargue, Talent Partner of Cowboy Ventures
  • “Most of the reason we don’t do things is because we’re afraid to fail. I just made a decision one day that I was not going to do things in my life because of fear.” – Sara Blakely, CEO of SPANX

Quotes About Motivation

45 Inspirational Quotes from Female Leaders 5

Looking back doesn’t help you move forward. Stay focused on your goals, whether they’re personal or professional, and work towards bettering yourself.

  • “Whatever the problem, be part of the solution. Don’t just sit around raising questions and pointing out obstacles.” – Tina Fey, Actress, Comedian, and Writer
  • “I am lucky that whatever fear I have inside me, my desire to win is always stronger” – Serena Williams, Professional Tennis Player
  • “Whether you work for yourself or others, there will be moments when you feel unhappy or stuck.

Knowing yourself and your own capabilities can be one of the most powerful tools. Confidence comes from within and you are equipped with everything you need to succeed.

  • “Remember that your time is your most valuable asset, so think about if what you’re doing is really what you want to spend your time on, think about if it’s getting you to a place that you want to go in the long run. If it’s not, go do something else.” – Shan-Lyn Ma, Co-founder of Zola
  • “If you’re not where you want to be in life, don’t get discouraged. Remember where you are is not your destiny.” – Sharita Humphrey, Financial Educator

Quotes About Leadership

45 Inspirational Quotes from Female Leaders 7

  • “You need to have unbound enthusiasm for what you’re building. Energy is contagious, so your team and everyone you interact with feels it.” – Tyler Haney, Founder of Outdoor Voices

Quotes About Money

45 Inspirational Quotes from Female Leaders 9

Setting financial goals helps you realize the attainable achievements ahead. While aiming to have financial stability is a good thing, aiming for an unrealistic financial status will leave you feeling unfulfilled. Focus on what you can achieve and think of anything extra as a bonus.
