Another day, another dollar……..

I used to hear that saying, when I was younger, and I was not sure what it meant, exactly.
I think I now know…….or shall I say, I have a better idea……

Have you ever heard the saying: ….if you assume something, you are really making an ass out of you and me…..
which is a clever way of saying, it is dangerous to assume anything….

Now the story. I contacted someone who I felt understand what we were trying to accomplish, to increase sales
at all costs. After, they also say, no ticki, no washi or put another way…. No revenue, no bonus or no salary….
I made the mistake of thinking that this, that an employer can print money or pull it off the tree outside…..

All I did was ask how sales were today and I was told something that I did not really want to hear. How can this
be? When payroll comes, he is first to want his check and to run to the bank with it. Does anyone think money
is free?

I guess I am talking to myself, here, but sometimes I wonder if everyone understands how difficult it is to run a business
with all that is required of an employer, today. Why don’t people understand that running a business today, with this
recession—is similar to the difficulty that families have making ends meet for themselves? BY : Mark Frydman
