Quotes about bus
business ideas trump
The market and the consumer and idea trump the system. Seth Godin
business lists method
The application process changes the list of who applies. Your applicants reflect your methods.
business smart way
Once you have permission to talk to someone, finding new products or services for them is a smart way to grow.
business simple priorities
Lack of resources (payroll), time and competing priorities are why so many nonprofits haven't done well. It's that simple.
business trying next

business your-future our-future
Choose your customers, choose your future.
business moving choices
We have little choice but to move beyond quality and seek remarkable, connected, and new. Remarkable, as you've already figured out, demands initiative.
business products
A product for everyone rarely reaches much of anyone.
business opportunity giving
Saying no to loud people gives you the resources to say yes to important opportunities.
business book needs
It's not about you, it's about the next person. The single best use of a business book is to help someone else. Sharing what you read, handing the book to a person who needs it... pushing those around you to get in sync and to take action-that's the main reason it's a book, not a video or a seminar. A book is a souvenir and a container and a motivator and an easily leveraged tool. Hoarding books makes them worth less, not more.
business taken writing
If you're going to invest a valuable asset (like time), go ahead and make it productive. Use a postit or two, or some index cards or a highlighter. Not to write down stuff so you can forget it later, but to create marching orders. It's simple: if three weeks go by and you haven't taken action on what you've written down, you wasted your time.
business reading goal
Decide, before you start, that you're going to change three things about what you do all day at work. Then, as you're reading, find the three things and do it. The goal of the reading, then, isn't to persuade you to change, it's to help you choose what to change.
business successful people
Successful people are the ones who are breaking the rules.
business people want
People rarely buy what they need. They buy what they want.
business fire people
Fire the committee. No great website in history has been conceived of by more than three people. Not one. This is a deal breaker.
business acceptance perfect
Once you free yourself from the need for perfect acceptance, it's a lot easier to launch work that matters.
business safe
Playing safe is very risky.
business opportunity goal
Change is not a threat, it's an opportunity. Survival is not the goal, transformative success is.
business ideas missing
There's no shortage of remarkable ideas, what's missing is the will to execute them.
business believe people
People don't believe what you tell them. They rarely believe what you show them. They often believe what their friends tell them. They always believe what they tell themselves.
business challenges blogging
The challenge with being an initiator of projects is that you are never, ever done.
business air ideas
Ideas in secret die. They need light and air or they starve to death.
business entrepreneur ass
The only thing worse than starting something and failing... is not starting something.
business work resumes
You are not your resume, you are your work.
business war oil
We need an honest bottom line. Today that bottom line is vastly subsidized. If anyone of us were paying the full cost of oil our bottom lines would be very different. If you internalize the cost of oil, look at the cost of the war in the Middle East or the cost of global warming for future generations, if you internalize those external costs and what you pay, that bottom line would look very different, what ever business you are in. Ray Anderson
business smart simple
We really began to think in different ways about our business in terms of climbing this mountain and it became very clear very quickly this was the smart thing to do. Not only did we start to generate answers for those customers, they embraced us for what we were trying to do. The goodwill in the market place has just been stunning. The rest of the business case is pretty simple. I cost it down not up.
business years names
During the last five years, those four advantages-costs, products, people, goodwill-have been the salvation of Interface during a recession that saw our primary marketplace shrink by 38% from peak to trough-38%! As a heavily leveraged company with over $400 million in debt, we might not have made it without the sustainability initiative and, especially, the support of our customers. This revised definition of success-this new paradigm-has a name: "Doing well by doing good". It is a better way to bigger profits.
business different needs
If we somehow put a value on species extinction and factor that into our costs that bottom line would look very different. IF we put any resource depletion into costs our bottom line would change. So what we have is a dishonest market that does not take into account all the costs when it establishes its prices. We need an honest marketplace before we can let the market work for sustainability rather than against it as it works today.
business people purpose
I always make the business case for sustainability. It's so compelling. Our costs are down, not up. Our products are the best they have ever been. Our people are motivated by a shared higher purpose - esprit de corps to die for. And the goodwill in the marketplace - it's just been astonishing.
business thinking organization
...there is no more strategic issue for a company, or any organization, than its ultimate purpose. For those who think business exists to make a profit, I suggest they think again. Business makes a profit to exist. Surely it must exist for some higher, nobler purpose than that.
business skills ideas
Only business can build a low-carbon economy. Business is all about seeing ideas and growing them. Businesses have the resources, the people, the technical skills to make things happen - and they have the channels to market Tom DeLay
