That's one way of looking at it.

Another way of looking at it, is barter. Customers trade their money for service of value, and pay off their debt at the end of a day.

I like the quotes and stories of some of those older businessmen.

Apparently, J. C. Penny would not hire someone who salted their food before taking a bite.

I saw a sticker on a truck about 5 or 6 years ago that said, "Business is great, People are terrific, Life is wonderful". At that time I worked for another company and that statement was the most unbelievable thing someone could say to me. Now that I work for myself I can believe that statement. I have it written on the cover of my invoice books now:biggrinbounce2:

That's a lot easier to remember than "Oh what a wicked web we weave when first we practice to deceive."
