Do you have a favorite quote about business? If so, share it with us by leaving a comment with the quote.
Write down your goals for the day and then GET STUFF DONE! – Pete Sveen
Nice one Pete! Goal setting is key to getting things done!
“We are the sum total of the five people we spend the most time with” – Jim Rohn
I’m a big fan of Jim Rohn’s quotes but especially this one since we always need to remind ourselves to be surrounded by people who inspire and motivation us. That are positive and encourage us and our work!
That is a good one and so true as well!
Love the Confucius one. So true. There is one that I like to and will try to poorly translate that says “the one who starts first hits twice”, meaning that if you are the first to launch a successful business, even though competitors come after you, you will always be a reference in your market.
Excellent quotes! Love them all especially the one from Walmart.
I love that one too! It is amazing how much power the customer has. If the customer decides to go somewhere else, than that business needs to step up it’s game or it will be out of business.
Great quotes! I’m a big Richard Branson fan so it’s great to see him on here.
Richard Branson has some great insight. I always enjoy learning from people that have been successful and that are willing to share what they have learned with the rest of the world.
My favorite quote I don’t espouse: “This is business….if you want a friend, buy a dog.” – Gordon Gecko, Wall Street. It makes me laugh, though.
I hope to be quoted one day…. =D
Great Quotes! Here are a few inspirational quotes:
The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything if you want to succeed in business–or almost anywhere else for that matter.
Lee Iacocca
Every ceiling, when reached, becomes a floor, upon which one walks as a matter of course and prescriptive right.
Aldous Huxley
It is not enough to take steps which may some day lead to a goal; each step must be itself a goal and a step likewise.

Who aims at excellence will be above mediocrity; who aims at mediocrity will be far short of it.
