15 top quotes I think every Enterprenuer should know on leadership

Every Enterprenuer is responsible for the success of their business.
With that kind of pressure, it’s easy to feel stressed, lonely and overwhelmed at times.
That why I am giving my favourite quotes from great leaders on being a great leader.
