I was married to someone who was a great salesman trying to start a business. We made a great plan. He was great at making sales but he saw success as the amount of sales he made not the actual net profit of the business which is I think very common in entrepreneurial personalities. I ran the administrative side of the business and many times tried to explain to him many times that it doesn't matter if you had half a million dollars in sales if at the end of the day you spent more than you made. He kept selling to people who I had put on COD because they hadn't paid their accounts. Also, growing to fast is a recipe for disaster because if you have a ton of product on the shelf you have to pay for it when the invoice comes and you haven't sold it. Great talkers are often not great businessman even though they can convince people that they are until the ish hits the fan. Next thing you know Adam will start his own arm of Scientology or run for President. When people are selling you happiness or saying they are going to make the world a better place for everyone read everything carefully before you sign on the dotted line.
