The business schools reward difficult complex behavior more than simple behavior, but simple behavior is more effective.
Quote by -Warren Buffet
Our grand business is not to see what lies dimly at a distance, but to do what lies clearly at hand.
Quote by -Bruce Lee
You can change everything about your business by changing your thinking about your business.
Quote by -Zig Ziglar
It was giant! We did about $200,000 when our business was in the garage, in 1976. In 1977, about $7,000,000 in business. I mean, it was phenomenal! And in 1978, we did $17,000,000. In 1979, we did $47,000,000. That’s when we all really sensed that this was just going through the rafters. In 1980, we did $117,000,000. In 1981, we did $335,000,000. In 1982, we did $583,000,000. In 1983, we did $985,000,000, I think. This year, it will be a billion and a half.
Quote by -Steve Jobs
Be present. Be meditative. Form real friendships. Stay away from business networking events or friendships where there is always an underlying business angle.
Quote by -Naval Ravikant
What I'm always trying to say to the consumer is: buy less, choose well, make it last.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Real art has been... what's the word? Kidnapped? No, that's not it. But, OK, kidnapped by business.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Instead of buying six things, buy one thing that you really like. Don't keep buying just for the sake of it.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I don't feel very comfortable defending my fashion except to say that people don't have to buy it. You do have to consume. You have to live. If you've got the money to be able to afford it, then it's really good to buy something from me, but don't buy too much.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I've always had my own access to the public, because I started off making my clothes for a little shop, and so I've always had people buying them. I could always sell a few, even if I couldn't sell a lot, and somehow my business grew because people happened to like it. I'm in a fortunate position.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
The thing that makes my clothes really different is that, number one, they are really great designs; they're not tacky; they are very professional; the design is made from lots of decisions.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“Buy less. Choose well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity. Everybody's buying far too many clothes.”
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
I am always trying to find fabrics that are more friendly to the environment - working with Virgin Atlantic, they managed to research into this and find more eco fabrics.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
“In the US, there is basically one party - the business party. It has two factions, called Democrats and Republicans, which are somewhat different but carry out variations on the same policies. By and large, I am opposed to these policies. As is most of the population.”
Quote by -Noam Chomsky
“As an old-time small-town merchant, I can tell you that nobody has more love for the heyday of the smalltown retailing era than I do. That’s one of the reasons we chose to put our little Wal-Mart museum on the square in Bentonville. It’s in the old Walton’s Five and Dime building, and it tries to capture a little bit of the old dime store feel. But I can also tell you this: if we had gotten smug about our early success, and said, “Well, we’re the best merchant in town,” and just kept doing everything exactly the way we were doing it, somebody else would have come along and given our customers what they wanted, and we would be out of business today.”
Quote by -Sam Walton
“The small stores were just destined to disappear, at least in the numbers they once existed, because the whole thing is driven by the customers, who are free to choose where to shop.”
Quote by -Sam Walton
“I still can’t believe it was news that I get my hair cut at the barbershop. Where else would I get it cut? Why do I drive a pickup truck? What am I supposed to haul my dogs around in, a Rolls-Royce? Nowadays,”
Quote by -Sam Walton
“a strategic inflection point is a time in the life of business when its fundamentals are about to change. that change can mean an opportunity to rise to new heights. But it may just as likely signal the beginning of the end”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“we confused the manager’s general competence and maturity with his task-relevant maturity.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“Are you trying new ideas, new techniques, and new technologies, and I mean personally trying them, not just reading about them? Or are you waiting for others to figure out how they can re-engineer your workplace—and you out of that workplace?”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“The output of a manager is the output of the organizational units under his or her supervision or influence.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“The implication was that either the people in the room needed to change their areas of knowledge and expertise or people themselves needed to be changed”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“To get acceptable quality at the lowest cost, it is vitally important to reject defective material at a stage where its accumulated value is at the lowest possible level. Thus, as noted, we are better off catching a bad raw egg than a cooked one, and screening out our college applicant before he visits Intel. In short, reject before investing further value.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“Reports are more a medium of self-discipline than a way to communicate information. Writing the report is important; reading it often is not.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“My day always ends when I’m tired and ready to go home, not when I’m done. I am never done.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“Peter Drucker quotes a definition of an entrepreneur as someone who moves resources from areas of lower productivity and yield to areas of higher productivity and yield.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“[..] in the work of the soft professions, it becomes very difficult to distinguish between output and activity. And as noted, stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“At Intel, we put ourselves through an annual strategic long-range planning effort in which we examine our future five years off. But what is really being influenced here? It is the next year—and only the next year.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“if you base your business on the volume leader, you will be going after a larger business yourself”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“A manager’s output = The output of his organization + The output of the neighboring organizations under his influence”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“There is no question that having standards and believing in them and staffing an administrative unit objectively using forecasted workloads will help you to maintain and enhance productivity.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“The art of management lies in the capacity to select from the many activities of seemingly comparable significance the one or two or three that provide leverage well beyond the others and concentrate on them.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“Middle managers are the muscle and bone of every sizable organization, no matter how loose or “flattened” the hierarchy, but they are largely ignored despite their immense importance to our society and economy.”
Quote by -Andy Grove
“So in the end careful interviewing doesn’t guarantee you anything, it merely increases your odds of getting lucky.”
