More quotes by 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.

Especially if you're over 40, shortening the term of your loan to pay it off sooner could make you mortgage-free in retirement.
Barbara Corcoran
If you have an idea, immediately move on it. To start that fire and get it burning immediately...it's everything.

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.
