More quotes by Barbara Corcoran
You steal the limelight, you steal the market share
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 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
People imitate their leader. Lead by example.
Barbara Corcoran
People want to do business with someone they like. If people like you, they're going to want to do business with you. And if they don't you're going to have an almost insurmountable obstacle to overcome.
Barbara Corcoran
Stop putting it off! Procrastination breeds guilt, guilt breeds depression, and depression breeds failure.
Barbara Corcoran
Money is not the only thing that motivates employees. It's about making them happy.
Barbara Corcoran
If you have an idea, immediately move on it. To start that fire and get it burning immediately...it's everything.
Barbara Corcoran
I've never had a really creative idea sitting at my desk. All the big ideas that made a difference happened when I was playing outside.
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
My best successes came on the heels of failures.
Barbara Corcoran
You can't study to be an entrepreneur. Sometimes, you just have to jump.
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
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
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
Don't be afraid to go for positions, jobs or take on clients just outside of your knowledge base. It's when you're uncomfortable that you learn and grow the most.
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
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
Sex appeal is in the workplace every day of the week. I'm not saying that's the only calling card, but it's a whole crayon box.
Barbara Corcoran
Finding opportunity is a matter of believing it's there.
