| Article Title :: Balance Your Managerial Life |
| |
| We have only one life, but we live in three overlapping worlds—our business world,
our family world, and our other social world. Imagine bringing your spouse and kids
to a meeting with seven of your salespersonnel. Sitting off to your left, Miss Wright

On the contrary I personally believe you must be 100% upfront with any potential investors, and even volunteer some weaknesses to be credible. I am writing it to help entrepreneurs and CEOs “design” these issues out of their business so they never have to say them.

I have discussed some of the logic why, but this should not be considered a comprehensiv (read full article) |
