Motivational Quotes
Business
In business, the competition will bite you if you keep running, if you stand still, they will swallow you.

Best Quotes about Business
Business is not just doing deals; business is having great products, doing great engineering, and providing tremendous service to customers. Finally, business is a cobweb of human relationships.
Perot, H. Ross
Leisure for people of business, and business for people of leisure would cure many problems.
In a balanced organization, working towards a common objective, there is success.
Scrutton, T. L.
It takes more than capital to swing business. You've got to have the A. I. D. degree to get by -- Advertising, Initiative, and Dynamics.
Mulford Jr., Ren
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.
The worst disease which can afflict executives in their work is not, as popularly supposed, alcoholism; it's egotism.
Geneen, Harold S.
One of the vices of the virtue of decentralization is that people don't share ideas.
O'Reilly, Anthony J. F.
Utility is our national shibboleth: the savior of the American businessman is fact and his uterine half-brother, statistics.
Dahlberg, Edward
Anything that you do to increase job security automatically does work for you. It makes your employees a closer part of the unit.
Smith, Roger
You have to have your heart in the business and the business in your heart.
Watson, Thomas J.
Drive your business, let not your business drive you.
Franklin, Benjamin
Concentrate your strengths against your competitor's relative weaknesses.
Henderson, Bruce
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
If you don't drive your business you will be driven out of business.
Forbes, B. C.
The five steps in teaching an employee new skills are preparation, explanation, showing, observation and supervision.
Hook, Harold
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
It doesn't matter to me if a man is from Harvard or Sing Sing. We hire the man, not his history.
Ford, Henry
Corporation. An ingenious device for obtaining individual profit without individual responsibility.
Bierce, Ambrose
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.
Business conventions are important because they demonstrate how many people a company can operate without.
The great business of life is to be, to do, to do without and to depart.
Morley, John
Frankly, I don't want to see a rapid upturn.I want it to hold until some of these idiotic competitors go bust.
Bamford, Joe
Business has only two functions -- marketing and innovation.
Drucker, Peter F.
There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.
Walton, Sam
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
Formerly when great fortunes were only made in war, war was business; but now when great fortunes are only made by business: Business is war!
Bovee, Christian Nevell
A man with a surplus can control circumstances, but a man without a surplus is controlled by them, and often has no opportunity to exercise judgment.
Firestone, Harvey S.
Get me inside any boardroom and I'll get any decision I want.
Bond, Alan
As a small businessperson, you have no greater leverage than the truth.
Hawken, Paul
The most important word in the vocabulary of advertising is TEST. If you pretest your product with consumers, and pretest your advertising, you will do well in the marketplace.
Ogilvy, David
If you train people properly, they won't be able to tell a drill from the real thing. If anything, the real thing will be easier.
Marcinko, Richard
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.
Quality, service, cleanliness, and value.
Ross, Steven J.
Letting your customers set your standards is a dangerous game, because the race to the bottom is pretty easy to win. Setting your own standards--and living up to them--is a better way to profit. Not to mention a better way to make your day worth all the effort you put into it.
Seth Godin
Location, location, location.
Dillard, William
I buy when other people are selling.
Getty, J. Paul
No sale is really complete until the product is worn out, and the customer is satisfied.
Bean, L.L.
It's far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price than a fair company at a wonderful price.
Buffett, Warren
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
The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.
Onassis, Aristotle
A man's success in business today turns upon his power of getting people to believe he has something that they want.
Lee, Gerald Stanley
A hard thing about business is minding your own
There's no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.
David Letterman
Every man is a consumer and ought to be a producer.
Emerson, Ralph Waldo
Get the best people and train them well.
Merrill, Charles
The business that considers itself immune to the necessity for advertising sooner or later finds itself immune to business.
Brown, Derby
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
A consumer is a shopper who is sore about something.
Coffin, Harold
If you can run one business well, you can run any business well.
Branson, Richard
The more I know about business, the more IÆm convinced that it is conducted in homes and churches far more than in office buildings.
Laura Moncur
