Telling - Doing

When you spend so much time telling about what you are doing that you have trouble getting things done, maybe you should spend more time doing and less time telling.

Your reputation is established by what you do, not by what you say you do.  Unless you want the reputation of a blowhard.

New Business Ventures

When you attend a meeting where a new business venture is presented - be skeptical.

When those selling the venture insist you buy-in before you leave - be cautious.

When those selling the venture won't show you financial data - be suspicious.

When those selling the venture are more interested in selling the venture than in explaining its product or service - leave, burn the bridge. It's a one way bridge going a direction you don't want to go.
