OUCH
One of my high school chums made a lot of money as a personal injury attorney. He was, so to speak, the Tim Misney of the Florida Keys. He told me once that a sign of a good agreement is when both sides say “ouch”. In other words, no one gets everything they want. TheyContinue reading “OUCH”

SHOW ME THE MONEY
12 April 2019 An amateur engages in an activity for the fun of it. It’s enjoyable. The bowling team from work, the week-end golfer, pick-up games at the ‘Y’ are all examples of amateurs loving what they do. Professionals, on the other hand, get paid for what they do. They may or may not likeContinue reading “SHOW ME THE MONEY”
