More quotes by 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
When you feel stuck and can't seem to move ahead, always remember that you don't have to get it right, you just have to get it going!
Barbara Corcoran
Money is not the only thing that motivates employees. It's about making them happy.
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
When you have chemistry with a potential hire, they will most likely become a great employee.
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
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
The worst that could happen is I lose my company and go back to being a waitress. I don't think money's a great aspiration for a lot of people that succeed. They they have other motivations that turn them on. And money was not one of mine.
Barbara Corcoran
Great sales people [don't] have the ability to feel sorry for themselves.
Barbara Corcoran
Taking chances almost always makes for happy endings.
Barbara Corcoran
I have found, whether you have a tiny business or a big business, if you don't jump on something right away, it's like a bird flying by-it flies off.
Barbara Corcoran
I've seen innovation come from something as simple as a resourceful multibillionaire who wanted to make even more money.
Barbara Corcoran
Confidence is overrated. It's when we're uncomfortable and looking for answers that we learn and grow the most.
Barbara Corcoran
My best successes came on the heels of failures.
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
If you have an idea, immediately move on it. To start that fire and get it burning immediately...it's everything.
