Well who isn&#8217;t, right? All businesses have issues with unproductive, combative, and poor-communicating employees. But before you [...]]]></description>

Then of course coaching football to 13 5-6 year old boys has also cut into my 80 hour work weeks.   As a matter of fact, if you EVER think you&#8217;re a great leader, [...]]]></description>

Picture a triangle with following at each point: Sales &#38; Marketing Finance &#38; Administration Operations &#38; Service Here&#8217;s the basic idea, without marketing you can&#8217;t sell and you won&#8217;t have any customers.

The question I get asked possibly the most often when I talk about buying great businesses to build and sell is &#8220;How do you find them???&#8221; Interestingly, that&#8217;s probably the easiest part.

What&#8217;s even worse is encouraging each lawyer in the firm to meet certain targets for billable hours. How in the world does that encourage them to provide the best service [...]]]></description>
