Winners surround themselves with other winners. A winner knows he's a winner. He doesn't need second-raters and yes-men around to feed his ego. He knows he'll win more, and go further, with associates who not only can keep up with him but who also are capable of teaching him something.
Harvey Mackay
Happiness can be thought, taught and caught... but not bought.
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
Leadership does not mean getting people to do their job. It means getting people to do their best.
Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.
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.
Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay
Believe in yourself, even when no one else does.
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
Just because an employee does things differently doesn't mean he or she won't do the job right or as well. If you establish expectations of the goal and the standards to follow, then methodology shouldn't be an issue.
Harvey Mackay
