Sentiment: POSITIVE
When it comes right down to it, whatever business you're in, you're in the people business. After all, people prefer to do business with people and companies they find likeable.
There are a lot of people who get support from a thriving business.
I'm always amazed at how many people assume a business has to lose money before it makes money.
People think about their business instead of their products.
Business is other people's money.
The average member of the public thinks of 'business' as an impersonal corporate entity owned by the very rich and managed by overpaid executives. There is an almost total failure to appreciate that 'business' actually embraces - in one way or another - most Americans.
Most people end up owning a business by accident. Therefore, they don't usually have a thought process and a strategic plan in place.
I'm really not a great businessperson. I understand business, and I understand numbers, but I think what I understand more than that is people... Ultimately, I think businesses fail and people fail because they don't have their act together.
This industry is 90 percent business, 10 percent talent.
Eighty to 90 percent of success in a company has nothing to do with business at all - it's all personal.
