ADVICE CAN BE FISHY

Written by Terry L. Sumerlin


Some years ago, while Jon was shining shoes inrepparttar shop, a customer was giving him business advice. Sincerepparttar 104215 man is retired from a rather successful business, I was pleased that Jon listened. However,repparttar 104216 conversation reminded me of how easy it is to take too much advice.

I heard of a man who opened a fish market but was having little success. A friend stopped in and asked how things were going.

“Not well,"repparttar 104217 entrepreneur replied. "Well, I can understand that,"repparttar 104218 friend said. "You don't even have a sign advertising your business. How do you expect to get customers if they don't even know you're here? Get a sign.”

This seemed like good advise. Sorepparttar 104219 merchant hung up a big sign: FRESH FISH SOLD HERE TODAY."

After a while, business improved. Then someone walked in and said, "I've been wondering why you have TODAY on your sign. Obviously, it's today and not tomorrow." So,repparttar 104220 man decided thatrepparttar 104221 customer was right and painted over "today."

Before long, someone else came in and said thatrepparttar 104222 word FRESH seemed unnecessary, since obviously he, being a man of integrity, wouldn't sell old fish. So, off came "fresh."
