60 Years In Business & Haven’t Worked a Single Day

Published on January 29, 2016.

This year, 2016, will mark my 60th year as an entrepreneur and business owner.

 

The firms I have founded primarily pertain to marketing (that’s a word that came into being many years after my first business  which was called a publicity firm).

 

Over the years, that beginning transformed into an advertising agency, newspaper & book  publishing, producer and owning radio programs and other related firms.

 

They include trade shows, executive card exchanges, even a press clipping service, mediation company, Phila. Speakers & Endorsement Bureau, and maybe tomorrow, something I haven’t yet thought of.

 

Oh, have also been a long-time business  arbitrator, mediator and expert witness – – as a sideline.

 

My son-in-law, Rob Meyers, an entrepreneur himself, put the aforementioned in perspective recently when said to me:

 

“You’ve had a good run!”

 

I have.

 

Over the years I’ve learned a lot.  From experiences.

 

And I would like to share them with my column readers (Both of you).

 

So, here goes:

 

… Be yourself

… Have a sense of humor

… Compromise

… Be honest

… Hire and work with smart people

… Persevere

… Do not hear the first “No”

… Read newspaper & books

… Give before you get

…  Best contacts are person-to-person

… Invest disposable income

… Say “Thank you”

… Be a doer  – – and do it now

… Exercise

… Do things in moderation

… Live in today

… Find an occupation where you look forward to your day.

(I tell people:  “I haven’t worked a day in my life”)

… Your ideas/goals mean zero, unless you put them into being

*************

P.S.  I’m still the first one into the office (usually) and last to leave – – but about 4:00 PM (to home – – & a nap).
