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.

The story of my billion-dollar business starts like this. I borrowed $1,000 from a friend.

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
Good salesmanship is nothing more than maximizing the positive and minimizing the negative.
Barbara Corcoran
Finding opportunity is a matter of believing it's there.

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
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.

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
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
Leaders come in two flavors, expanders and containers. The best leadership teams have a mix of both.
Barbara Corcoran
Money is not the only thing that motivates employees. It's about making them happy.
Barbara Corcoran
The difference between the real winners is how long they take to feel sorry for themselves. My winners feel it... but they come back up and say 'hit me again.'
Barbara Corcoran
The biggest challenge in business is not the competition, it's what goes on inside your own head
Barbara Corcoran
The power of publicity is more important than advertising.
Barbara Corcoran
If you want to have a creative culture, you can't get it by reading books. You get it by example.
Barbara Corcoran
So many people are good at starts and not so good at finishing.
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
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 you have an idea, immediately move on it. To start that fire and get it burning immediately...it's everything.
