More quotes by Barbara Corcoran
Refinancing doesn't reduce your debt, it just restructures it, so be clear about what you want to achieve with a refi.
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.

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
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
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
I was a hot-dog stand lady, I was an orphan housemother, I was a waitress 3 or 4 times. All of those jobs did not have good bosses. They basically told you what to do, when to do and when to hop. And I just didn't like that very much.
Barbara Corcoran
Great sales people [don't] have the ability to feel sorry for themselves.
Barbara Corcoran
If I could set a world record, it would be that I have 150 business partners, all with thriving businesses of their own that started with nothing and I made the difference to make them all billionaires.
Barbara Corcoran
Taking chances almost always makes for happy endings.
Barbara Corcoran
In New York City, the meek don't inherit the earth. The big mouth does.
Barbara Corcoran
Stop putting it off! Procrastination breeds guilt, guilt breeds depression, and depression breeds failure.
Barbara Corcoran
When you have chemistry with a potential hire, they will most likely become a great employee.
Barbara Corcoran
The difference between the real winners is how long they take to feel sorry for themselves. My winners feel it... but they come back up and say 'hit me again.'
Barbara Corcoran
The story of my billion-dollar business starts like this. I borrowed $1,000 from a friend.
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
I like to wake up and just feel gratitude. Gratitude for waking up, for my health, for my kids, for my family. A lot of times in the evening, I'll write down what my goals are for the next day When I wake up, I look at that list again. I meditate.
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.
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
I have found, whether you have a tiny business or a big business, if you don't jump on something right away, it's like a bird flying by-it flies off.
Barbara Corcoran
Don't get cocky just because you've had a good run. You can lose your business as fast as you've earned it.
