Success Quote by Guy Laliberte

Laliberte slips a founder’s origin story into the language of play, and that’s the tell. “Blessed” nods to luck and privilege without surrendering authorship; he immediately counters it with “I believed in it from the beginning,” reclaiming the narrative from the convenient myth that success is just fate. The sentence performs a balancing act familiar to modern moguls: be grateful enough to seem human, but certain enough to justify the empire.

The repetition of “still” does most of the psychological work. It’s a quiet defense against the suspicion that money calcifies people into brand-managers and risk-avoiders. By insisting nothing has changed - travel, entertain, fun - he reframes scale as continuity. Cirque du Soleil’s core proposition was always that spectacle can be both artisanal and massive, bohemian and corporate. This quote argues that the corporate part doesn’t have to kill the bohemian part; the original appetite can survive the boardroom.

“Travel” carries biographical and commercial subtext: the itinerant street performer turned global impresario, the company’s touring model, the cosmopolitan identity that sells everywhere. “Entertain” is a moral alibi and a business thesis in one word - if the product is wonder, profit looks less predatory. Then the kicker: “have fun.” It’s disarmingly unserious, and that’s strategic. Laliberte is telling you the engine of ambition isn’t domination, it’s curiosity. In an era that treats hustle as a grim religion, he offers a counterimage: the dream that refuses to harden into duty.
