Nothing!”                                                                                     Donald Gardner

Are you one of the many who is tired of working for others?

Are you tired of the 9 to 5 grind?

Tired of just having 3 weeks vacation and having to jockey with other employees to get the weeks you want?

Tired of working 40 hours per week and feeling like you earn peanuts?

Maybe you just relish the thought of being your own boss?

Lamborghini

Porsche

Ferrari

Jaguar

Maserati

Aston Martin

Bugatti

Not only were none of these eight brands represented along that mile-long stretch of car dealers, I don’t even think most of these brands have any showrooms within fifty miles of where I live.  Yet I can name off the top of my head three different Chevrolet dealers in my area.

Cash is King

By Ken Matesz

Had a big mix-up at the store today.  Apparently when the cashier said, “Strip down, facing me,” she was referring to my credit card.

People hate cash.

Isn’t cash just a pain? Takes up lots of space in your wallet, blows away in the wind. It’s just so cumbersome and inconvenient, isn’t it?

Richard Bach

“A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.”

John C. Maxwell
