It’s not true, of course, but that’s what my client said to me on Tuesday.
Truth be told, it’ll probably end up in the neighborhood of $500,000 worth of savings over the next eighteen months.
Nice neighborhood.
It’s not because my client’s dumb… in fact, he’s crazy smart (and brave and hard-working and talented), but even the smartest people can benefit from an outside perspective.
I saw something he and his senior staff full of awesome people didn’t see.
As my business partner Roy likes to say, “It’s hard to read the label when you’re inside the bottle.”
We call them blind spots, and we all have them, and we never know it until someone points it out to us.
Sometimes they cost you a little. Sometimes they cost you a lot.
Sometimes a trusted friend can spot one and save you a half million dollars.
Tuesday was a good day. I bet today’s going to be a good day, too. What do you think?
Oh, and PS – If you’re worried you ought to be spending less or doing more, why not come to Nashville?
