To Inspire Your Way To A Productive Week
Sometimes you need a kick in the pants and a friendly reminder that what want to achieve really is possible. So, here it is:
Success is your only option.
I wholeheartedly believe that. If you really put your mind to it and decide it’s possible, that success will ultimately come. It takes action, persistence, and consistency, but fundamentally, all you need is to decide that you are going to achieve anything and everything you want to do.
In this series weekly series, I have compiled 47 quotes from businessmen and women, public speakers, online entrepreneurs, philanthropists, artists, television show-runners and more. These people have achieved so much success, because not only have they decided that they are going to be successful, but they have also allowed themselves to fail. That’s one of the most important things to keep in mind. Failure is a part of achieving growth, because no one is just going to hand you the life you want. You must work for it, learn the lessons from any missteps, apply them and find any other way you can to reach your goal.
What I want you to do is find someone new from this series and learn more about them. I’ve even given you a short bio and some fun facts to start things off.
Expand your awareness and maybe even find yourself a new role model. Many of the people on this list are incredibly influential to me, and have completely changed my view of money, business, and success.
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
What I Like About This Quote: You can hope for something all you want, but if you don’t make a plan to make it happen, it’s not going to. Life isn’t going to just hand you what you want, just because you wish really hard. That fantastic website and course series isn’t going to suddenly manifest itself because you have an awesome idea that you don’t act on. You MUST take action.
Do something new.
Where do you start? Make a plan. Set your goals. Work hard every day, in what little spare time you may or may not have, and get after it. Take what you know and learn the things you don’t. Don’t just wish for the perfect life, because there’s a good chance you wouldn’t recognize the perfection if it was just handed to you. You have to work for it, to know that it’s perfect.
About Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was a French writer, poet, aristocrat, journalist and pioneering aviator. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry won several of France’s highest literary awards, along with the U.S. National Book Award. He is most notably remembered for the novella, The Little Prince.

Love a good inspirational quote! And this has really made me decided I need to work on my goals/plans now! 🙂
Great! Set your goals and make that plan to meet them!
A goal without a plan is just a wish! That, I’ll absolutely second! Once a goal is in mind, then proper planning should be done for it or else it will live to never happen.
Exactly! So many people set goals, but forget to plan and actually ACT on them!
I love good quotes and always try to include one at the top of each blog post. Thanks for these motivational quotes that will help any entrepreneur with their business. I enjoyed your post!
Glad you enjoyed! Thank you!
These are such wonderful quotes. I am always looking for ones to help motivate me.
Happy you stumbled upon this one! Thank you!
“A goal without a plan is just a wish.”
I just had goosebumps from reading this. This is so true!
Great reaction! Stay focused and plan to meet those goals of yours!
I work hard but I also play hard too. One needs to have goals and plans to be successful.
Exactly! It’s so important to find that balance. Keep it up!
I love that quote and live it every day. It is so important to make those plans to achieve that goal. I never realised that the poet is the same person associated with the Little Prince.
I didn’t either until I did my research for this post! So awesome!
I love Antoine De St Exupéry! His Little Prince is such a nice story! These are such wonderful quotes!
It’s so sweet. I really love this quote too! (I mean, obviously, but I loved it enough to keep in the in the top 47 😉
That’s so true that the goal without a plan is just a wish … I couldn’t really agree more with this statement! 🙂 We always need to think it over how to gain what we want to gain! 🙂
Exactly! It’s easy to want things, but unless you go out and get it, you’re not going to get it! Keep working and keep planning!
So many times we create “goals” and never really think about how we will get there. Thanks for the reminder with this great inspirational quote! I’m looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you! Much more to come!
Goals without a plan is just a wish- so so true!
Right? Keep working and make a plan!
So true! Love this quote
Me too!
I love a good quote. Especially when it inspires me to keep going throughout the day.
Glad to help keep you inspired! Get to planning!
I agree with this quote. Nothing can happen just because you wish it. You need to write down a plan and know exactly what steps you need to take in order to transform a wish into reality.
Right? It’s SO important! Action is better than anything you can do!
That is so true! I can’t count the times I’ve done just that–set a goal and never planned how I would achieve it. Those goals never were accomplished.
Exactly! Go back to those goals, make a plan, and reach them!
I really like the book Le Petit Prince! I love reading a good book. Could this quote resonate to that of Benjamin Franklin, “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!”.
For sure! That’s a great quote too!
Love the quote! As cliched as it sounds my I love Steve Jobs. “Simple can be harder than complex; you have to work hard to get your thinking clean to make it simple“ love this quote by him
Exactly! That’s such an awesome quote! And it’s not cliche if it’s true!
Love this kind of quotes where we get to mirror our self. I totally agree with the quote “A goal without a plan is just a wish”
It’s an awesome thing to remember as you work on your business!
I love this quote. I had my friend who is a calligraphy artist write it and I will frame it. It’s a good wall decor as a reminder for us to be goal driven.
That’s so awesome!
That’s what I do. I have a blogging goal but I just keep going without a plan. I should really pause and strategize on the best way to go.
Yes! Revisit your goals and determine your roadmap to meeting them! You’ll get there faster than you think!
