More quotes by Harvey Mackay
Pale ink is better than the most retentive memory. If it's written down, you can look it up. Just be damn sure you write it down.
Harvey Mackay
Don't confuse visibility with credibility.
Harvey Mackay
It's way easier to stay in the comfort zone, especially when things are going good than to go out on a limb and take some risks. My philosophy is exactly the opposite: Sometimes it's risky not to take a risk.
Harvey Mackay
If you can't say yes, it's no. Don't sugarcoat it. Don't talk yourself into yes just to seem like a nice guy. No one ever went broke because he or she said NO too often.
Harvey Mackay
Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding.
Harvey Mackay
A string of successes can kill you if they make you think, 'Hey, I'm smart I can't make any mistakes'.

Being rich isn't about money. Being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to take time to stop and eat the heart of the watermelon. And some of us will be rich without ever being more than a paycheck ahead of the game.
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
It isn't the quality of the ideas you have that will determine whether you make a success of them, it's the qualities you bring to those ideas.
Harvey Mackay
We all start out in life with one thing in common We all have the same amount of time. It's just a matter of what we do with it.
Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay
Don't wait for a funeral to pay a compliment. You may not make it in time.
Harvey Mackay
Many, perhaps most, people who lose their jobs are mistaken about the reason for which they lost their jobs. Some will say that they're failures, others that their boss had it in for them, and others yet that they were sure their career ended because of a stupid faux pas they made at the company picnic.
Harvey Mackay
You have to look life straight in the eye. De-mystify your world. Can you really afford to believe magic is for real? Not when time is concerned.
Harvey Mackay
Goals give you more than a reason to get up in the morning they are an incentive to keep you going all day.
Harvey Mackay
If you don't look ahead, you'll always be behind.
Harvey Mackay
Fatigue makes fools of us all. It robs you of your skills and your judgment, and it blinds you to creative solutions. It's the best-conditioned athlete, not the most talented, who generally wins when the going gets tough.
Harvey Mackay
