  List of Top 10

“As Taken From Other Organizations in the Know”

  • When divorce hits a small business
    Deception and crippled businesses often are the aftermath of a messy divorce involving couples who jointly own a business, Bill Lee of family-business consulting firm Lee Resources says. "I always beg people not to use the business for revenge or for getting validation," Birol Growth Consulting's Andy Birol says.   The New York Times (free registration) (1/12)

  • Business to helm economy again
    After letting consumers blaze the trail for most of the last ten years, business leaders are ready to again steer the economy through investments and other means, while consumer influence is expected to taper off. "It's really going to be more about businesses (going forward)," a Bear Stearns senior economist said.   USA TODAY (1/13)

  • Board offers peer review
    Peer groups, such as the The Alternative Board, are helping guide more small businesses with unbiased opinions on the cheap. The group serves as a sounding board for entrepreneurs with personnel, management and finance issues to address.   BusinessWeek (1/12)

     

  • QUOTES:

          "The sun shines not on us but in us. The rivers flow not past, but through us, thrilling, tingling,
            vibrating every fiber and cell of the substance of our bodies, making them glide and sing."
           - John Muir

          "When coasting in our comfort zones, we don't grow. We continue to do more of the same....
            Maintaining a comfort zone can, paradoxically, lead to discomfort in the long run. If by being
            comfortable we avoid important life issues, internal tension accumulates....
            Eventually, as both internal and external pressures for change persist,
            the "comfort zone" ceases to serve us.
           - Eric Allenbaugh

          "Our inability to see beauty doesn't suggest in the slightest that beauty is not there. Rather,
            it suggests that we are not looking carefully enough or with broad enough perspective
            to see the beauty."
           - Rabbi Harold Kushner

          "Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves."
          - C. G. Jung

          "We discover in ourselves what others hide from us and we recognize in
            others what we hide from ourselves."
           - Vauvenargue

          "A life spent in making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than
            a life spent doing nothing."
           - George Bernard Shaw
 

"There are hundreds of paths up the mountain,
  all leading in the same direction,
  so it doesn't matter which path you take.
  The only one wasting time is the one
  who runs around and around the mountain,
  telling everyone else that their path is wrong."
- Hindu Teaching

" Simplicity is genius."
- Bill Shankly

"The future depends on what we do in the present."
- Mahatma Gandhi

"Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all."
- Dale Carnegie

"We cannot direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails."
- Bertha Calloway

"Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself."
- William Faulkner

"Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly."
- Langston Hughes

"A mediocre idea that generates enthusiasm will go further than a great idea that inspires no one."
- Mary Kay Ash, Chairwoman, Mary Kay Cosmetics

"The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you recap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny."
- James Allen

"I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."
- Bill Cosby
