I was taught to always say please and thank you, have respect for others and to be kind. In business, this is one of the things that has helped us to give our customers outstanding service.

When doing business with some people, it feels like they forget about you after the sale.

Going bankrupt: what does that mean? There are a lot of myths and misconceptions regarding “going bankrupt” or filing for bankruptcy.

Even some “experts” on the topic aren’t helping. For example, there was a recent opinion article in a well-known magazine by an attorney, who spent a lot of energy perpetuating the misconception that bankruptcy is never a good idea.

If I have the belief that I can do it,

I shall surely acquire the capacity to do it

Even if I may not have it at the beginning.
