A healthy dose of skepticism "The simple believes every word, but the prudent man considers well his steps."(Proverbs 14vs15; New King James) Things seem a little off or queer? Research. Don't be suckered by veneer.

Clients are golden Treat your clientele like gold, and they will not leave you out in the cold.

The magic sauce (Courtesy of Ted Turner) "Early to bed, ear-ly to rise, work like hell, and advertise."(Ted Turner) How wise!

Page 37 of 41

Advertise, advertise, advertise... Don't advertise? How then, do you expect leads and sales to crystallize?

Page 38 of 41
