Loading ...an elderly man came to me for a JOB.I found he was very capable and smart .then he told me a story about his Pajama business ..Five brothers grew their business and each were getting older and didnt want their children to work as hard as they did ,so they sold the business and each walked away with over a million dollars(1968) that was a LOT of money !.This one brother decided to enter the House building business since he was a younger of the five .Over the next two years he found appliances were being stolen from his houses under construction and he lost control and lost aLL his money .There he was age 60 and unemployed and no money because he got into something he knew little about.
After I moved to Virginia I met a man who owned a Restaurant and served the finest Italian food ,very successful he was.he decided to move to Florida and invest in Commercial Real Estate ,you can guess at the outcome of this story.I met him two years later when he came back to Virginia broke at age 60 .Fortunately he kept the Real Estate of the Restaurant and was able to rent it out to Meals on Wheels.
Just because you are good at making telephones or running a Restaurant dont mean you are good at something else ! Do what you do WELL…is an old saying !
