Blake Mycoskie Quotes

I surround myself with inspirational quotations Picture Quote #1

I believe each of us has a mission in life, and that one cannot truly be living their most fulfilled life until they recognize this mission and dedicate their life to pursuing it Picture Quote #1

I’ve been blessed with a lot of things in life, but God did not give me rhythm. Still, I love to dance - which past girlfriends always found hilarious Picture Quote #1

Almost every morning I write in my journal. I’ve been keeping it for a long time - I’ve filled more than 50 books. I write about what’s going on in my personal and spiritual life or what’s going on at work. It helps me keep things in perspective, especially when things get crazy or I get stressed or we have obstacles Picture Quote #1

We are all human beings and I believe that we all should have equal rights Picture Quote #1

When you incorporate giving into your business, you attract the most amazing partners Picture Quote #1

When you incorporate giving into your business in an authentic and transparent way, your customers become your best marketers Picture Quote #1

A lot of people like the idea of companies being socially involved in their community, but if you want big companies to get involved in social issues, what makes you think they’re going to come down on your side? Picture Quote #1

When you don’t know the rules, you break them all. It’s hard to take big risks when you know the history of an industry and what has worked and what didn’t Picture Quote #1

I always have my journal with me. It was handmade by a guy at the San Telmo market in Buenos Aires. If you go there he can make you one. It’s leather and bronze and I’m able to replace the paper when it runs out. It has a lion on the cover that I say is there to protect my thoughts Picture Quote #1

The future of TOMS is really creating a whole new business model of this one-for-one giving and expanding the TOMS model from shoes into other products as well Picture Quote #1

I don’t get jet lagged that much. I’m so used to traveling and being in different places every day that I can sleep anywhere Picture Quote #1

People always ask me, when I had the idea for TOMS, did it change my life? As romantic and noble as it is, no it did not change my life. But when I went to Argentina on that first shoe-drop, it did change my life Picture Quote #1

The idea of community and helping others has always been a part of who I am. Growing up, my parents always made sure that my siblings and I were doing our part to serve our local community Picture Quote #1

The greatest competitive advantage is to allow your employees to be part of something. Something bigger than what you’re doing Picture Quote #1

One day, when I own a house, I’ll keep a library full of books. Books are different from other possessions-they’re more like friends Picture Quote #1

I’m not a late-night person. After 10 P.M., I’m falling asleep. If I’m out at that time, I’ll be the one falling asleep at dinner Picture Quote #1

You know, you hear people talk about soul mates? That one person that you see, and that’s it for you? Well, TOMS is the business equivalent of a soul mate for me Picture Quote #1

I never thought I would be in a position like this, where my words and experiences are now inspiring others to follow suit. It’s challenging at times, but I can only look forward to the future of business and philanthropy Picture Quote #1

A very big passion of mine and that of the people that run our production is finding factories that have fair labor practices and treating them more like partners in our family than people just who are going to produce for us Picture Quote #1

Walk away from anyone who is unduly focused on vacation and compensation. It’s a sign of potential trouble. No matter how talented you are, if you don’t really want to work at TOMS, you’ll never work out here Picture Quote #1

I think the word ‘social entrepreneur’ is a really good description of what I am. What that means me to is that you have the entrepreneurial gift and spirit to create something out of nothing Picture Quote #1

With TOMS, I found a way to create sustainable giving and consistently help those who are in need Picture Quote #1

[People] had never heard about someone giving something away every time they sold something Picture Quote #1

Allow your team to incorporate giving into their life through their job. Not only do employees stay around a lot longer, they do a lot more good Picture Quote #1

It may sound too good to be true, but once you’ve seen the happiest people in your life who have nothing, you really start rethinking what the world, and society, tells us that we need to be happy Picture Quote #1

Traveling as much as I do, I get lonely sometimes. I have friends now in cities all over the world, so I get to be social, but it’s hard to have the deep meaningful relationships, especially an intimate one. With my guy friends, I can show up once a month and go to dinner with them and they’re happy Picture Quote #1

I love what I do, but it is hard to have a personal relationship when you’re never home Picture Quote #1

Be tenacious. One thing that has allowed me to have some level of success is that I am fine with cold-calling people. It doesn’t scare me to call someone who has no idea who I am and say I’d love to take you to lunch Picture Quote #1

Giving feels good, but it’s also good for the bottom line. Charity is a viable growth strategy for a lot of companies. Our customers get excited to be a part of what we’re doing. If you ask anyone wearing Toms how they first heard about us, most won’t mention an advertisement; they’ll say a friend told them our story Picture Quote #1
