More quotes by Harvey Mackay
By my count, more business leaders have failed and derailed because of arrogance than any other character flaw.
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
Learn from the past, but don't live there. Build on what you know so that you don't repeat mistakes.
Harvey Mackay
There is a time to provide advice and offer an opinion, and there is a time not to. Don't be too quick to offer unsolicited advice. It certainly will not endear you to people.
Harvey Mackay

Harvey Mackay
Never buy anything in a room with a chandelier.
Harvey Mackay
The sale begins when the customer says yes.
Harvey Mackay
I've known entrepreneurs who were not great salespeople, or didn't know how to code, or were not particularly charismatic leaders. But I don't know of any entrepreneurs who have achieved any level of success without persistence and determination.
Harvey Mackay
Friends are made by many acts...and lost by only one.
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
A string of successes can kill you if they make you think, 'Hey, I'm smart I can't make any mistakes'.
Harvey Mackay
You learn when you listen. You earn when you listen - not just money, but respect.
Harvey Mackay
If we could measure the damage to corporations from gossip, it might be more than the GNP of the Third World!
Harvey Mackay
Too often, sales reps simply regurgitate their presentations and expect to land the sale. It doesn't work.
Harvey Mackay
