More quotes by 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
Don't equate activity with efficiency.
Harvey Mackay
You can't hurry creativity, so take time to ponder your ideas. Sit back and take time to think things over. That's usually how the best ideas bloom.
Harvey Mackay
You only get one chance to make a good first impression, and yours may be in the hands of the receptionist.
Harvey Mackay
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
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
Happiness can be thought, taught and caught... but not bought.
Harvey Mackay
One sure-fire way to stay creative: force yourself to learn something new.
Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay
There is no shame in taking pride in achievements or position. But nobody gets to the top alone.
Harvey Mackay
Staying in touch with contacts is as important as getting them in the first place.
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
Positive thinking is more than just a tagline. It changes the way we behave. And I firmly believe that when I am positive, it not only makes me better, but it also makes those around me better.
Harvey Mackay
Believe in yourself, even when no one else does.
Harvey Mackay
Never buy anything in a room with a chandelier.
Harvey Mackay
A dream is always a bargain no matter what you pay for it
Harvey Mackay
Mackay's Moral: If you are persistent, you will get it. If you are consistent, you will keep it.
Harvey Mackay
You can't be passionate when you feel like it. You have to be passionate about your job, product or cause all the time. There's no off switch on a tiger.
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
By my count, more business leaders have failed and derailed because of arrogance than any other character flaw.
