More quotes by Barbara Corcoran
If you want to have a creative culture, you can't get it by reading books. You get it by example.
Barbara Corcoran
My mother's genius was to put her finger on the gifts she saw in each of us, and make every one of us believe that that gift was uniquely ours.
Barbara Corcoran
The worst that could happen is I lose my company and go back to being a waitress. I don't think money's a great aspiration for a lot of people that succeed. They they have other motivations that turn them on. And money was not one of mine.
Barbara Corcoran
I gave up years ago on the concept that you could actually have balance in your life, I think it's a phantom chase.
Barbara Corcoran
Money is not the only thing that motivates employees. It's about making them happy.
Barbara Corcoran
The joy is in the getting there. The beginning years of starting your business, the camaraderie when you're in the pit together, are the best years of your life. So rather than being so focused on when you get big and powerful, if you can just get the juice out of that... don't miss it.
Barbara Corcoran
People imitate their leader. Lead by example.
Barbara Corcoran
Confidence is overrated. It's when we're uncomfortable and looking for answers that we learn and grow the most.
Barbara Corcoran
Empathy for the people you're working with and being aware of their needs...that's the big kahuna in managing people.
Barbara Corcoran
You can't study to be an entrepreneur. Sometimes, you just have to jump.
Barbara Corcoran
I was well motivated. What I wanted to do was work for myself. I had twenty two jobs before I started my business at the age of twenty three and I didn't want one more boss telling me what to do. So I was motivated simply because I didn't want a boss.
Barbara Corcoran
I wanted to be a 150% entrepreneur and a 150% mom, and I found that I was having a very hard time doing both. I was about 75% and 75% - still better than 100%, but not what I was accustomed to at work.

A whopping 89 percent of buyers start their home search online. How your house looks online is the modern equivalent of 'curb appeal.' Rent a wide-angle lens and good lighting, get rid of your clutter and post at least eight great photos to win the beauty contest.
Barbara Corcoran
If a house is priced appropriately, make a bid 10 percent below that amount.
Barbara Corcoran
The most influential factor in selling a home is always price. Don't build 'wiggle room' into the asking price. There's a price war out there and you have to win it from the get-go.
Barbara Corcoran
The power of publicity is more important than advertising.
Barbara Corcoran
When you feel stuck and can't seem to move ahead, always remember that you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going!
Barbara Corcoran
The difference between successful people and others is how long they spend time feeling sorry for themselves.
Barbara Corcoran
My husband had a very strong identity and was successful in his life. Thank God for that. There's no way I can control him. I wouldn't stay married to him if I felt I could. I can readily take my business personality into the home. But he forces me to be a partner rather than the boss.
Barbara Corcoran
Home staging used to be optional. Today, it's a necessity in selling a house.
