Tom Peters
Success requires a persistent misreading of the odds.
Tom Peters
Quite simply, no matter how hard you try, no matter how open you are, you'll end up surrounded by yes people. It's hard not to believe people who are repeating your own ideas. Resist the temptation.
Tom Peters
One size NEVER fits all. One size fits one. Period
Tom Peters

Tom Peters

Tom Peters
Your calendar never lies. All we have is our time. The way we spend our time is our priorities, is our strategy. Your calendar knows what you really care about. Do you?
Tom Peters
They say plan it. I say do it.
