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
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
The best time to expand is when people are asleep at the wheel.
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

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
Don't you dare underestimate the power of your own instinct.
Barbara Corcoran
Stop putting it off! Procrastination breeds guilt, guilt breeds depression, and depression breeds failure.
