“Every day is a school day” – never a week goes by that I don’t learn something more about myself and my business and rarely a client meeting passes where I learn something from my clients or I myself have to revert to a colleague for advice.

“God gave us two ears and one mouth” – listen carefully to your clients and then address their issues.
