20 Motivational Quotes to Prepare You for 2020
Some things go in one ear and right out the other. But when you hear just the right message, at the right moment, and from the right person, it sticks with you.
As end-of-year projects loom and the days get shorter, we might need a reminder that good things take time. Relationships aren’t built by arbitrary deadlines. HR needs take priority over holiday plans. Tax deadlines don’t shift based on how ready you are.
When I need that extra push, I listen to motivational speeches and read quotes that inspire me. Here are some quotes to help keep you motivated and kick off your new year to a great start!
