Can you act differently in your business and personal lives?

A great speaker, I believe either Jim Rohn or Brian Tracy once said that you cannot conduct yourself one way in business, and another way in your personal life.  If you cheat on your spouse, you will cheat your business partners or clients; If you don’t tell the shareholders every piece of pertinent information, you […]
