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

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
