A year from now, you\u2019ll wish you had started today. \u2013 Karen Lamb<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This is one of my favorite quotes from Karen Lamb. It keeps pushing me past my limits and to realize what I strive for.<\/p>\n

Finding the motivation to do your best work on a Monday morning can take a lot of effort, and sometimes a few dozen shots of espresso. Rather than risk a caffeine headache, I have found that instead of reaching for my coffee mug sometimes all I need on a Monday morning to get my brain kickstarted is reading a few motivational marketing quotes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of these quotes come from other marketers, and some of them come from outside the industry, but they all offer wisdom and advice that can help you think differently about your marketing. If you\u2019re searching for some inspiration, look no further!<\/span><\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t it be nice if inspiration always struck you exactly when you were ready for it?
