Quotes by Barbara Corcoran (?)

“Good entrepreneurship is all about staying on the move. Every successful entrepreneur I work with expands before he’s ready. It’s the best formula I know for aggressive growth and the best way to become the market leader.”
― Barbara Corcoran, Shark Tales: How I Turned $1,000 into a Billion Dollar Business
