The longer they keep you waiting, the more they want to deal.
Harvey Mackay
Like it or not, life is a series of competitions. You may be competing for a grade, a spot on a team, a job, or the largest account in town. The higher your self-esteem is, the better you get along with yourself, with others, and the more you'll accomplish.
Harvey Mackay
The sale begins when the customer says yes.
Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay
Happiness can be thought, taught and caught... but not bought.
Harvey Mackay
I have ten marathons under my belt, including four New York races and one Boston.
Harvey Mackay
Fatigue makes fools of us all. It robs us of our skills, our judgment, and blinds us to creative solutions.
Harvey Mackay
Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back.
Harvey Mackay
In a climate of tight budgets, reduced workforces and stiff competition, internal training can be a great substitute for costly offsite workshops and conferences.
Harvey Mackay
I've known entrepreneurs who were not great salespeople, or didn't know how to code, or were not particularly charismatic leaders. But I don't know of any entrepreneurs who have achieved any level of success without persistence and determination.
Harvey Mackay
Surrounding yourself with creative, imaginative people is a good strategy for success whether you're an entrepreneur seeking innovation or an artist looking for inspiration.
