The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.

There's nobody in the world that wouldn't change places with the Americans.

Tom Peters
It's relatively simple. If we're not getting more, better, faster than they are getting more, better, faster, then we're getting less, no better or more worse.
Tom Peters
Vision is dandy, but sustainable company excellence comes from a huge stable of able managers.
Tom Peters
Hire attitude train skills.

Had Twitter been invented earlier, my books would have been shorter.
Tom Peters
Winners must learn to relish change with the same enthusiasm and energy that we have resisted it in the past.
Tom Peters
For me, reading is reading.
Tom Peters
Customers perceive service in their own unique, idiosyncratic, emotional, irrational, end-of-the-day, and totally human terms. Perception is all there is!
Tom Peters
Even a poor, out-of-datecollection reflects in its own way the values of the people who created it and the community it serves.

I think economics is about passion. Economic progress, whether it is a two-person coffee shop or whether it is Netscape, is about people with brave ideas. Because it is brave to mortgage the house, when you've got two kids, to start a coffee shop.

The best kept secret in the global economy today is this: When your service is AWESOME you get so stinking rich you have to buy new bags to carry all the money home.
