Yes, it is important to to know when to tell your customers "NO"! When
a customer gets to the point that they cost more than they were worth, I
like to confidentially direct them to my competitors.
It is surpising how many companies DON'T know when to say no a customer
- and have paid the price for it in bankruptcy court!

At 20, I was liberal, because I had nothing to lose and so much to gain.
By 40, I was conservative, because I had so much to lose and so little to gain.
It is amazing what 20 years of hard work and experience will do for ones' point of view?
