More quotes by Harvey Mackay
The cost of praising someone is nil - but every psychological study shows the payoff is huge.
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
Don't let ups and downs leave you down and out.
Harvey Mackay
No business can stay in business without customers. How you treat - or mistreat - them determines how long your doors stay open.
Harvey Mackay
Anyone who has been in business can tell war stories about the bumps in the road. But if they've outlasted the competition, ask for their stories about survival. They've figured out how to turn disappointments into opportunities.
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
If you don't climb the mountain, you can't see the view
Harvey Mackay
I have never yet met a successful person who hasn't had to overcome either a little or a lot of adversity in his or her life. If life there is a lot of lumps and bumps... a lot of throttling up and a lot of throttling down.
Harvey Mackay
To me, job titles don't matter. Everyone is in sales. It's the only way we stay in business.
Harvey Mackay
Good habits are as addictive as bad habits, and a lot more rewarding.
Harvey Mackay
Look in the mirror every day and say, I am in charge. You might not have control over every phase of your life, but you have more control than you realize, and you are responsible for your own happiness and success.
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
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
You'll never please everyone, but you only have to please a few people to get an offer.
Harvey Mackay
Most fears of rejection rest on the desire for approval from other people. Don't base your self-esteem on their opinions.
Harvey Mackay
Don't confuse visibility with credibility.
Harvey Mackay
Don't equate activity with efficiency.
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
Your past is not your potential.
Harvey Mackay
When you have a dream that you can't let go of, trust your instincts and pursue it. But remember: Real dreams take work, They take patience, and sometimes they require you to dig down very deep. Be sure you're willing to do that.
