Motivational Quotes for Project Managers and Everyone Else (part 2 of 3)
Anyone who knows me well can testify that I'm a big believer in motivational quotes. I keep several quotes written down to live on post-its around my house to help keep me motivated. I've been actively collecting and storing selections since I was in high school, which means I've been quote collecting for almost 20 years. I hope you enjoy this 3 part post as much as I did in researching and piecing it together. I had Project Managers in mind when I wrote this post, but honestly, these quotes can inspire you no matter your profession.
