Motivational Quotes

Business

Our planning system was dynamite when we first put it in. The thinking was fresh; the form mattered little. It was idea oriented. We then hired a head of planning, and he hired two vice presidents, and then he hired a planner; and the books got thicker, and the printing more sophisticated, and the covers got harder, and the drawings got better.
- Welch, John

Erhard, Ludwig

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

Welch, John

I do not believe a man can ever leave his business. He ought to think of it by day and dream of it by night.
Ford, Henry

Quality, service, cleanliness, and value.
Ross, Steven J.

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

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

10.
If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time.
Franklin, Benjamin

11.
In business, words are words; explanations are explanations, promises are promises, but only performance is reality.
Geneen, Harold S.

12.
Don't forget until too late that the business of life is not business, but living.
Forbes, B. C.

13.
The purpose of a business is to create a customer.
Drucker, Peter F.

14.

Coke, Sir Edward

15.
The employer generally gets the employees he deserves.
Gilbey, Walter

16.
If a business does well, the stock eventually follows.
Buffett, Warren

17.
Treat employees like partners, and they act like partners.
Allen, Fred A.

18.
The simple opposition between the people and big business has disappeared because the people themselves have become so deeply involved in big business.
Lippmann, Walter

19.
For the merchant, even honesty is a financial speculation.
Baudelaire, Charles

20.
To business that we love we rise betime, and go to't with delight.
Shakespeare, William

21.
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

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

24.
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

25.
HereÆs my theory about meetings and life; the three things you canÆt fake are erections, competence and creativity. ThatÆs why meetings become toxic they put uncreative people in a situation in which they have to be something they can never be. And the more effort they put into concealing their inabilities, the more toxic the meeting becomes. One of the most common creativity-faking tactics is when someone puts their hands in prayer position and conceals their mouth while they nod at you and say,'Mmmmmm. Interesting.'If pressed, theyÆll add,'IÆll have to get back to you on that.'Then they donÆt say anything else.
Douglas Coupland

26.
A vacation should be just long enough that you're boss misses you, and not long enough for him to discover how well he can get along without you.

27.
Don't steal; thou it never thus compete successfully in business. Cheat.
Bierce, Ambrose

28.
I'm not a driven businessman, but a driven artist. I never think about money. Beautiful things make money.
Beene, Geoffrey

29.
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.

30.
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

31.
When two friends have a common bank account, one sings and the other weeps.
Proverb

32.
Leisure for people of business, and business for people of leisure would cure many problems.

33.
'Whom are you?'he asked, for he had attended business college.
George Ade

34.
The very best financial presentation is one that's well thought out and anticipates any questions... answering them in advance.
Collins, Nathan

35.
I believe Mrs. Thatcher's emphasis on enterprise was right.
Blair, Tony

36.
In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative original thinker unless you can also sell what you create. Management cannot be expected to recognize a good idea unless it is presented to them by a good salesman.
David M. Ogilvy

37.
I buy when other people are selling.
Getty, J. Paul

38.
The five steps in teaching an employee new skills are preparation, explanation, showing, observation and supervision.
Hook, Harold

39.
Great is the hand that holds dominion over man by a scribbled name.
Thomas, Dylan

40.
You never really hear the truth from your subordinates until after 10 in the evening.
Jurgen Schrempp

41.
In a balanced organization, working towards a common objective, there is success.
Scrutton, T. L.

42.
You generally hear that what a man doesn't know doesn't hurt him, but in business what a man doesn't know does hurt.
Lewis, E. St. Elmo

43.
The business that considers itself immune to the necessity for advertising sooner or later finds itself immune to business.
Brown, Derby

44.
Only as long as a company can produce a desired, worthwhile, and needed product or service, and can command the public, will it receive the public dollar and succeed
Carlson, Curtis

45.
Business, more than any other occupation, is a continual dealing with the future; it is a continual calculation, an instinctive exercise in foresight.
Luce, Henry

46.
Every business is built on friendship.
Penney, J. C. (James Cash)

47.
One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don't share ideas.
O'Reilly, Anthony J. F.

48.
Executives are like joggers. If you stop a jogger, he goes on running on the spot. If you drag an executive away from his business, he goes on running on the spot, pawing the ground, talking business. He never stops hurtling onwards, making decisions and executing them.
Baudrillard, Jean

49.
The poor man who enters into a partnership with one who is rich makes a risky venture.
Plautus, Titus Maccius

50.
Make every decision as if you owned the whole company.
Townsend, Robert
