Aet ahead A chances
Nearly every ambler Some of you will be shocked at this statement, yet upon careful analysis nearly every a that he will take in more money than he lays out on a new plan The ambler The man who learns a trade and does not strive to increase his earnings is not a gambler
We pride ourselves on our ability to buy cheaply, because the cheaper we can buy the greater our earnings will be and the less our gamble
Any man with two hands and ordinary health can earn a livelihood, but the ambitious man wants to make a name for himself and to make a success in business, so he works harder than he would do if his probles necessary for his existence
The ress, so far as business advancement is concerned, ceases
Nearly every successful business today is successful because the proprietors, in the infancy of the business, were filled with ambition which made them work hard
We are all familiar with the successful business man who loses his ambition It is an absolute certainty that as soon as a man loses ambition his business falls off, unless heress he established
Lawyers
Keep in touch with a lawyer, but don't take his advice on business matters
A lawyer should be like a dictionary--a place of reference
Lawyers by the very nature of their vocation have much to do with concerns who are in trouble, and with fired
Lawyers kno first and business second; the business man knows business first and law second
The advice of one successful business man is worth the advice of twenty-three lawyers on a matter of business
Use the lawyer to keep you out of trouble Let hi to leases, sales, purchases, royalties, and all docuht into court as evidence These things are the ones on which to take the lawyer's advice
When you are pushed into a corner and ht in court, like a fight in the prize ring, the best trained and equipped man usually wins
It's more often the best lains than the best side of the case
Legal struggles seldom pay Law suits take up time and money, and the result, even if in your favor, seldom offsets the tiood lawyer keeps you frorafters, and they advise fight, for they hether you do or not
Settle disputes even if you are iment for one hundred dollars, when your lawyers fees are fifty dollars and you have expended two hundred dollars' worth of time and worry over the case
Ask your lawyer's advice on the legal status of your operations, and not on business propositions
If you are a success in business that is an evidence, generally speaking, that your judget all the advice you want for nothing If you state a case and lay out a proposed plan, and then ask your friends' advice on the subject, you can safely count that nine out of ten will say that your proposition is all right as outlined by you
