Harvey Mackay at Portland BizGrowth

Posted: August 29th, 2011 | Author: Jon Coon | Tags: , | No Comments »

At the end of July I had the opportunity to attend an event put on by the Portland Business Journal. The keynote speaker was Harvey Mackay who I had never heard of before. His introduction was quite lengthy and so I reasoned that he should be pretty good (He is one of the top five speakers in the world according to Toastmasters). His performance certainly lived up to his reputation and I came away thoroughly impressed. He is an expert story teller.

Word of Wisdom:

I give you a dollar and you give me a dollar, we each have a dollar. You give me an idea and I give you an idea and we each have 2 ideas

Little things mean everything.

Perfect practice makes perfect.

A goal is a dream with a deadline.

People don’t care how much you know about them if they know how much you care about them.

It it is to be it is up to me.
