Barbara Corcoran
Everybody thinks that they're going to time the market, they're going to sharpshoot the market, and buy right at the bottom. The truth of the matter is that nobody is good at it.
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
Your business is a part of yourself. Should it be? Who knows, but it sure feels that way. You can never really leave it.
Barbara Corcoran
My best successes came on the heels of failures.
Barbara Corcoran
If your house has been on the market for more than four months, take it off the market and re-list it in two months as 'new.'
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
