More quotes by Barbara Corcoran
If someone doesn't fit in your company, you have an obligation to get rid of them, because you're holding them back from excelling elsewhere.
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.

Don't get cocky just because you've had a good run. You can lose your business as fast as you've earned it.
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
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 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 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.

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
You may not like the idea of putting money into a home when you're moving out. But it's demanded by the market. You need to show it off. You don't have to rip out the kitchen and bathroom. But maybe replace the tiles or the countertops. Get professional advice.
Barbara Corcoran
A complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.
Barbara Corcoran
My best successes came on the heels of failures.
Barbara Corcoran
Great sales people [don't] have the ability to feel sorry for themselves.

You steal the limelight, you steal the market share
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.
