Harvey Mackay
Believe in yourself, even when no one else does.
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

Harvey Mackay
Don't confuse visibility with credibility.
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
