9 Quotes from Successful Women That Will Inspire You and Your Unit

“An apple a day keeps the doctor away.”

“A penny saved is a penny earned.”

“Don’t judge a book by it’s cover.”

If you’re like me, you’ve heard these phrases at least 10 million times in your life—probably at least 1,000 times this week!

And the more we hear the same sayings, the more cliche they start to sound.

But there are a lot of beautiful quotes out there that can give us the life lessons we need to hear.

So if you’re feeling a little uninspired today, the Heroes are here to pick you up with some words of wisdom from the successful women we know and love.

And sure, I might be a little biased, but what better way to start off this list than with the amazing Ms. Mary Kay Ash?

We couldn’t narrow it down to just one Mary Kay quote, so we’re going to close with one too.

I know, kind of cheating, right?

Oh well, we just can’t get enough of her!

So number 9 is: “Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.”

Mary Kay Ash couldn’t live with the thought that people weren’t following their dreams, which is why she started her company. Her mission was simple: to help you make your dreams come true.

We love the company she started just as much as you do, and we’re here to help you make those dreams come true!
