If you are unable to remember, then write down what I am about to say.

Always remember one simple rule: dress for the job you want, not the job you have. – Donald Trump

To keep up with changing market conditions, Microsoft underwent another major reorganization approximately every two years. These structural transformations have another side, an internal one. Getting used to their regular work and feeling very comfortable, people often stop growing professionally and are unable to accept new ideas. Personnel changes provide them with the opportunity to take on new tasks. For example, it can be useful to rotate specialists between development and sales departments. By adding programmers to your customer service team, you give them the opportunity to better understand market requirements and further improve the performance of their products. – (Bill Gates, 1955, head of Microsoft Corporation, the richest man on the planet)

Half of what separates successful entrepreneurs from unsuccessful ones is persistence.

First of all, take it into your head: never apply the term “recession” to your business. A recession implies a rollback. Instead, use the term “revolution.” A decline in activity means that your entrepreneurial activity has passed a certain stage at which you can no longer remain, otherwise you are doomed to failure. A revolution is coming. It is necessary to change priorities, re-emphasize and move on, towards new success. – (Terry Dean, Internet Marketing Veteran with over seven years of experience)

Opening a store is easy; keeping it open is an art.

Apple has great people. But at the executive level they had no purpose or strategy. They worked in completely different directions in the hope that at least one of them would lead to the goal.

Always choose the most difficult path - you will not meet competitors on it. – Charles de Gaulle

People buy based on emotions. Even if your customers are business owners, no matter how large and reputable it may be, they still remain people with all the ensuing consequences. It is people who make the decision to make a purchase, it is people who click on the “Order!” button, enter payment information into the fields of the order form, etc. And all these people buy based on their own considerations. Your own “I” and your own emotions. – (Michel Fortin, renowned copywriting expert and professional consultant)

Astrology told me a lot. I studied at the Russian Astrological School of Alexander Zaraev for four years and received a certificate. Astrology, in my opinion, provides the best explanation of what our physical world is. Take, for example, the fact that the moon affects the state of the liquid. We all know why ebbs and flows occur. But the human body is 90% liquid. And if you take a person’s astrological chart and look at what happened at his birth, what is happening now, what crises have happened, you can understand what will happen next. -(Vladimir Samokhin, founder and general director of the Rocolor company)

I left Harvard to start my own business, and I don’t regret it, but when, citing my example, someone claims that education is not necessary for successful business, I always clarify: this is only true when the implementation of an idea that has captured a person urgent, and he is convinced that such a chance will not arise again. In all other cases, it is better to complete your studies. If only because it is rare for a young person to be taken seriously in business. In addition, an advanced degree can later play a decisive role in getting the desired job. An example is the Microsoft company itself, which almost never hires people who have not completed their education for key positions. This despite the fact that it was founded by two college dropouts. – (Bill Gates, 1955, head of Microsoft Corporation, the richest man on the planet)

Whatever you own, you either use it or lose it! – (Henry Ford, 1863-1947, American engineer, industrialist, inventor, one of the founders of the US automobile industry)

If you are on a boat that is constantly leaking, it is better to focus your efforts on finding a new vessel rather than fixing the holes. – Warren Buffett

There is only one thing that a person can completely control - this is his own attitude towards life. – (Napoleon Hill, 1883-1970, millionaire, best-selling author of philosophy, psychology and success practices)

The client cannot simply be satisfied. The client must be satisfied! – (Michael Dell, 1965, founder and former CEO of Dell Computer Corporation, billionaire)

Success depends on effort. – (Sophocles, 496-406 BC, ancient Greek poet-playwright, politician)

Don't say you're working. Show what you've earned.

Failure is an opportunity to start again, but more wisely. - Henry Ford

If we don't experiment, our model will become obsolete, and we can't afford that. What happens to colleagues who want reliability. Television is structured in such a way that the most promising strategy is to develop, make mistakes, but find something new. And “reliable” quickly becomes outdated, the audience is extremely spoiled. – (Konstantin Ernst, producer, general director of Channel One TV)

War and commerce are nothing more than two different ways of achieving one goal: to have what you want. (...) War is an impulse, trade is a calculation. But that is precisely why the time must come when trade will replace war.
Benjamin Constant (1767–1830), French writer and political essayist

Business is War and Peace, but not according to Leo Tolstoy; This is not an endless alternation of war and peace, but at the same time peace and war. (…) You have to compete and cooperate at the same time.
Adam Brandenburger and Barry Nalebuff, American management experts

The whole secret of business is to know something that no one else knows.
Aristotle Onassis (1906–1975), Greek shipowner

Business, more than any other activity, deals with the future every day; it is a continuous calculation of probabilities, an instinctive exercise in foresight.
Henry Luce (1898–1967), American publisher

Business is a game, the greatest game in the world if you know how to play it.
Thomas Watson (1874–1956), founder of IBM

A business aimed at satisfying someone's needs is usually successful; a business aimed at making a profit is rarely successful.
Nicholas Butler (1862–1947), American philosopher

The pursuit of profit is the only way in which people can satisfy the needs of those whom they do not know at all.
Friedrich Hayek (1899–1992), Austrian economist

Commerce arouses in people a keen desire for personal independence. Commerce satisfies their needs, fulfills their desires without government interference. Moreover, such interference is almost always (...) only a hindrance and a burden. Whenever collective power wants to interfere in a private calculation, it only annoys a person. Whenever rulers try to do our affairs for us, they do it much worse and more wastefully than we do.
Benjamin Constant

Types of business are different, but business as a system remains the same, regardless of its scale and structure, products, technologies and markets.
