Tom Peters
I am my clients. I am defined by who I do business with.
Tom Peters
The world has not just turned upside down. It is turning in every which way at an accelerating pace.
Tom Peters
Test fast, fail fast, adjust fast.
Tom Peters
Remember: You are the only human being in the world who can help this particular customer at this particular moment in time.
Tom Peters

Tom Peters
If silly things were not done, intelligent things would never happen.
Tom Peters
If the other guy is getting better, then you'd better be getting better faster than the other guy is getting better... or you're getting worse.
Tom Peters
It's this simple: You are a brand. You are in charge of your brand. There is no single path to success. And there is no one right way to create the brand called You. Except this: Start today. Or else.
