If you wait for the right time or the good times to start a business, you wait all your life.
Fran TarkentonFear causes people to draw back from situations. It brings on mediocrity, it dulls creativity, it sets one up to be a loser in life.
Fran TarkentonMaybe you can't play over your head at all. Maybe it's just potential you never knew you had.
Fran TarkentonIf football taught me anything about business, it is that you win the game one play at a time.
Fran TarkentonNone of us really pushes hard enough. People always talk about playing over your head when you are up against someone really good. Maybe you don't play over your head at all. Maybe it's just potential you never knew you had.
Fran TarkentonSuccess, in my view, is the willingness to strive for something you really want. The person not reaching the top is no less a success than the one who achieved it, if they both sweated blood, sweat and tears and overcame obstacles and fears. The failure to be perfect does not mean you're not a success.
Fran TarkentonThe failure to be perfect does not mean you are not a success; it is giving your best that helps you to understand the joy of receiving.
Fran TarkentonIt's a lonesome walk to the sidelines, especially when thousands of people are cheering your replacement.
Fran TarkentonCultivate your desire for success to be greater than the fear of failure; Failure is merely a pitstop between where you stand and success. Failure allows you to learn the fastest; Failure inspires winners and defeats losers.
Fran TarkentonProfit isn't and shouldn't be the mission of business. The mission of business is to help people. To help your customers, your co-workers, your employees, and your partners. Success is not a number - it's not X dollars or Y customers - it's a measurement of VALUE.
Fran TarkentonWhen everything else breaks down, I don't hesitate to roam out of the pocket and do the boogaloo.
