Motivational Quotes

Business

If you don't do it with excellence, don't do it at all! Because if it's not excellent, it won't be profitable or fun, and if you're not in business for fun or profit, what the hell are you doing there?
- Townsend, Robert
Business Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Business

1.
Designing your product for monetization first, and people second will probably leave you with neither.
Tara Hunt

2.
Utility is our national shibboleth: the savior of the American businessman is fact and his uterine half-brother, statistics.
Dahlberg, Edward

3.
It is surprising, in the welter of questions that one gets at (AGMs), how few actually relate to the performance of the company, or the decisions taken by the board in particular areas.
Harvey-Jones, John

4.
I am the world's worst salesman, therefore, I must make it easy for people to buy.
Woolworth, F. W.

5.
Never write an advertisement which you wouldn't want your own family to read. You wouldn't tell lies to your own wife. Don't tell them to mine. Do as you would be done by. If you tell lies about a product, you will be found out -- either by the Government, which will prosecute you, or by the consumer, who will punish you by not buying your product a second time. Good products can be sold by honest advertising. If you don't think the product is good, you have no business to be advertising it.
Ogilvy, David

6.
The purpose of a business is to create a customer.
Drucker, Peter F.

7.
Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.
Kiam, Victor

8.
The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not, as popularly supposed, alcoholism; it's egotism.
Geneen, Harold S.

9.
The purpose of business is to create and keep a customer.
Leavitt, Theodore

10.
The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without and to depart.
Morley, John

11.
In our factory, we make lipstick. In our advertising, we sell hope.
Revson, Charles

12.
If you have lower than a ten percent turnover, there is a problem. And if you have higher than, say 20%, there is a problem.
Mcgovern, William

13.
The happiest time in a man's life is when he is in the red hot pursuit of a dollar with a reasonable prospect of overtaking it.
Billings, Josh

14.
The morality of compromise' sounds contradictory.Compromise is usually a sign of weakness, or an admission of defeat.Strong men don't compromise, it is said, and principles should never be compromised.I shall argue that strong men, conversely, know when to compromise and that all principles can be compromised to serve a greater principle.
Handy, Charles

15.
You can't run a business without taking risks.
Drexler, Millard

16.
Talk of nothing but business, and dispatch that business quickly.
Aldus Manutius

17.
Don't steal; thou it never thus compete successfully in business. Cheat.
Bierce, Ambrose

18.
Goodwill is the one and only asset that competition cannot undersell or destroy.
Field, Marshall

19.
If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
Branson, Richard

20.
One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don't share ideas.
O'Reilly, Anthony J. F.

21.
There's a lot more business out there in small town America than I ever dreamed of.
Walton, Sam

22.
Compromise is usually bad. It should be a last resort. If two departments or divisions have a problem they can't solve and it comes up to you, listen to both sides and then pick one or the other. This places solid accountability on the winner to make it work. Condition your people to avoid compromise.
Townsend, Robert

23.
Let love give way to business; give attention to business and you will be safe.
Ovid

24.
Business is a combination of war and sport.
Maurois, Andre

25.
The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.
Peters, Thomas J.

26.
In business for yourself, not by yourself.
Kroc, Ray

27.
The right merchant is one who has the just average of faculties we call common sense; a man of a strong affinity for facts, who makes up his decision on what he has seen. He is thoroughly persuaded of the truths of arithmetic. There is always a reason, in the man, for his good or bad fortune in making money. Men talk as if there were some magic about this. He knows that all goes on the old road, pound for pound, cent for cent -- for every effect a perfect cause -- and that good luck is another name for tenacity of purpose.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

28.
Drive your business, let not your business drive you.
Franklin, Benjamin

29.
I believe Mrs. Thatcher's emphasis on enterprise was right.
Blair, Tony

30.
If you don't drive your business you will be driven out of business.
Forbes, B. C.

31.
Among the worries of today's business executives is the large number of unemployed still on the payroll.

32.
I ran the wrong kind of business, but I did it with integrity.
Sydney Biddle Barrows

33.
A dinner lubricates business.
Lord William Stowell

34.
The City's reluctance to take a stand on an issue like the British Gas pay row makes a mockery of corporate governance and shareholders' ability to influence annual general meetings.Institutions should be obliged to make public how they vote at such events.They should be obliged to provide customers with a record of how they vote on every kind of issue.
Donovan, Patrick

35.
You can hype a questionable product for a little while, but you'll never build an enduring business.
Kiam, Victor

36.
You read a book from beginning to end. You run a business the opposite way. You start with the end, and then you do everything you must to reach it.
Ceo, Harold Geneen

37.
Good design can't fix broken business models.
Jeffrey Veen

38.
Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change.
Wang, An

39.
Corporations are social organizations, the theater in which men and women realize or fail to realize purposeful and productive lives.
Rena, Peter

40.
If when a businessman speaks of minority employment, or air pollution, or poverty, he speaks in the language of a certified public accountant analyzing a corporate balance sheet, who is to know that he understands the human problems behind the statistical ones? If the businessman would stop talking like a computer printout or a page from the corporate annual report, other people would stop thinking he had a cash register for a heart. It is as simple as that -- but that isn't simple.
Lundborg, Louis B.

41.
In business, words are words; explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.
Geneen, Harold S.

42.
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.
David Letterman

43.
A consumer is a shopper who is sore about something.
Coffin, Harold

44.
Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions.
Wilson, Woodrow T.

45.
It is not the employer who pays wages -- he only handles the money. It is the product who pays the wages.
Ford, Henry

46.
The business that considers itself immune to the necessity for advertising sooner or later finds itself immune to business.
Brown, Derby

47.
Anybody can cut prices, but it takes brains to produce a better article.
Armour, P. D.

48.
In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing.
Young, Owen D.

49.
Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.
Grove, Andrew

50.
Being good in business is the most fascinating kind of art. Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
Warhol, Andy
