I found some uplifting and inspirational speeches on success for entrepreneurs.

Bruce Benner, an Olympic champion (1976) and credited once as the “World’s Greatest Athlete”, explains that “the commitment that you give to that dream” and “using everything that you have in your brain to work for you and not against you” is the requisite mental transition and decision that you will need to make to overcome and use fear productively (not against you), channel your energy towards realizing your goals, and committing (sacrificing) yourself 100% to the mission.
Bruce caps off his speech with what he believes were the four keys to his success - and how you can apply them to your life: (1) gamble, (2) cheat, (3) lie and (4) steal.

(1) Gamble. Gamble the best shot you’ve got in life; dare to take risks; life has to be a great adventure or it’s nothing
(2) Cheat. Cheat those who would have you be less than who you are; surround yourself with positive people; help others
(3) Lie. Lie in the arms of those that you love; don’t take others for granted
(4) Steal. Steal every moment of happiness; live everyday as if it were your last day because you never know when your last day will be

Alas, “it wasn’t a dream anymore, it was a ‘decision’ of what I wanted out of life [to succeed].”
