"The true measure of the value of any business leader and manager is performance." ― Brian Tracy Topic(s): Business More From Brian Tracy "Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance." "If you like a person you say ‘let’s go into business together.’ Man is a social animal after all, but such partnerships are fraught with danger." "The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear." More In Business "In this business, if you don’t pay your debts you’re finished."― Roger Stone "Performing doesn’t turn me on. It’s an egomaniac business, filled with prima donnas – including this one."― Dan Rather "The death of any man aged 56 is very sad for his widow and family. And no one would deny that Steve Jobs was a brilliant and highly innovative technician, with great business flair and marketing ability."― A. N. Wilson
