Jack Welch Quotes

I like to set aggressive targets; without them, you will get ordinary performances.

Set stretch goals. Don't ever settle for mediocrity. The key to stretch is to reach for more than you think is possible. Don't sell yourself short by thinking that you'll fail.

I would have done higher than that... I would have set it higher.

There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.

I'm addicted to success, failure is not an option.

Setting goals for your game is an art. The trick is in setting them at the right level - neither too low nor too high. A good goal should be lofty enough to inspire hard work, yet realistic enough to provide solid hope of attainment.

Dream big by setting yourself seemingly impossible challenges. You then have to catch up with them.

Set the kind of goals that will make something of you to achieve them.

Never set goals you can reach in your lifetime.

People know that pursuing a mission without achieving results is dispiriting; achieving results without a mission is meaningless.

I don't see any point in playing the game if you don't win, do you?

I always try to overachieve. I feel I have something to prove every day.

I set very bold goals. It's how I've always been. I'm definitely somebody who swings for the fences, and I expect very high performance.

What are we doing here? We're reaching for the stars!

Predetermine the objectives you want to accomplish. Think big, act big and set out to accomplish big results.

I've always been a guy that has strived for dominating, not only winning.

Overachievement is aimed at people who want to maximize their potential. And to do that, I insist you throw caution to the wind, ignore the pleas of parents, coaches, spouses, and bosses to be "realistic." Realistic people do not accomplish extraordinary things because the odds against success stymie them. The best performers ignore the odds. I will show you that instead of limiting themselves to what's probable, the best will pursue the heart-pounding, exciting, really big, difference-making dreams-so long as catching them might be possible.

Winning isn't everything, it's the only thing. If you can shrug off a loss, you can never be a winner!

Only the impossible is worth attempting. In everything else one is sure to fail.

When we undertake the impossible, we often fail to do anything at all.

I expect big things from myself but as long as I can keep the commitment and dedication and put the hard work in, I don't see why there's any reason not to handle it OK.

Set goals that don't feel all that easy, that challenge you, stimulate you, and give you a chance to stretch and push yourself. That is where the power of growth lies.

You can NEVER rise higher than your expectations of yourself. Expect the BEST!

Success is the by-product when you work toward the target.

I wouldn't do anything if I didn't have something I was working for.
