Tom Peters Entrepreneur Quotations

Remember: You are the only human being in the world who can help this particular customer at this particular moment in time.

Execution Excellence! (Show up on time! Leave last!)

Dot the i's, cross the t's, answer the phones promptly, send out errorless invoices, and in general never forget that the devil is in the details.

OLD: Be No.1 or No.2 in Your Market. NEW: Find a Niche, Create Something New.

My half-baked reading of history is that we continue to go through these waves of entrepreneurial explosion followed by merger mania and consolidation. Out of that come big sluggish companies that eventually collapse under the weight of what they've created, and are killed off by the next wave of entrepreneurs.

Entrepreneurs have no memories. They take on the world with a completely fresh view.

Organizations exist to serve. Period. Leaders live to serve. Period.
