To be inspired is a gift not to be taken lightly. If one is inspired, one should be grateful. So when you find inspiration, don’t take it for granted. Cherish the source - and share it with others. My name's Mike. I'm on a mission to inspire people when they least expect it. And by choosing Sticky Quotes, you can join me in the #TheMotivationMovement. Inspire or Be Inspired. It’s up to you. Either way, you’ll feel great. Being the philosopher I am (seriously, I major in philosophy and business management), I once thought: "How could I make the world a happier place?" For starters, I figured I could write inspirational quotes on sticky notes and leave them all over the place. And that’s exactly how Sticky Quotes got its start. The sticky quote note idea was my simple yet effective way to make the world a happier place. I was sticking these instant happy notes everywhere – all over the Morgan Stanley office where I once interned; in every classroom at Molloy College; and just about anywhere else I've gone since January 2014 when I started writing these sticky motivators. It wasn't until I paired up with an awesome team of friends and mentors, won a college business plan competition, and printed an insane number of sticky notes in my parents’ kitchen that I had the confidence and the opportunity to start this business. I even went with two friends to audition for “Shark Tank,” and while I didn’t land a spot on the prime time CNBC show, I did appear as a “shark” alongside Kevin O’Leary at American Portfolios 2015 Financial Business Plan Competition at their annual conference in Philadelphia. Now I'm 21 years old, running a successful business, and set to graduate from college in May. Join me on my mission to inspire.
