Barbara Corcoran quotes about
reading school kids
I hadn't learned to read by third grade, which wasn't unusual for some kids. I knew something was wrong because I couldn't see or understand the words the way the other kids did. I wasn't the least bit bothered - until I was sent back to the second-grade classroom for reading help after school.
book reading creative
If you want to have a creative culture, you can't get it by reading books. You get it by example.
cost loan interest
No loan is free. The costs are in your loan somewhere, maybe rolled into the amount to be refinanced or even coming at a higher interest rate.
motivational real kids
Most great entrepreneurs I know are nothing like the other kids. They're almost like tangent lines - those lines that seem to go nowhere. Nothing connects them, until they get out in the real world. Then they connect just fine.
running creativity innovation
Innovation and creativity are the juiciest parts of running a business.
fun wind having-fun
If you're having fun, you wind up innovating.
war home winning
The most influential factor in selling a home is always price. Don't build 'wiggle room' into the asking price. There's a price war out there and you have to win it from the get-go.
mom marketing building
Every single thing I learned about marketing and building my business, I learned from my mom, and she had never been in the workforce. She just had great practical sense.
rip moving home
You may not like the idea of putting money into a home when you're moving out. But it's demanded by the market. You need to show it off. You don't have to rip out the kitchen and bathroom. But maybe replace the tiles or the countertops. Get professional advice.
husband wife feminine
When you're a big money earner and your husband isn't, it makes you question how feminine you are. I felt I was less feminine than if I was a supporting wife, or a second fiddle, or 'Mrs. Higgins.
mom hard-times entrepreneur
I wanted to be a 150% entrepreneur and a 150% mom, and I found that I was having a very hard time doing both. I was about 75% and 75% - still better than 100%, but not what I was accustomed to at work.
men house hobbies
The most expensive hobby a rich man could have is a boat, and the second most expensive hobby he could have is a very old house.
people might winner
If you get labeled a winner, people come along for the ride. Might as well enjoy it and they should too.
real agents seven
I had probably seven agents by the time I became a legitimate real estate broker.
