Excerpted from Business Black Belt by Burke Franklin
We enjoy the same problems
This book is written from my experiences, from my perspectives and as I perceived them—the solutions I describe have nothing to do with others. What I write and describe are not about them. They’re about me and my contribution to the situation—good and bad (if you are making those judgments). This book is meant entirely to assist you (if and/or when you might be in a similar situation) to consider some alternatives to maneuver effectively through potentially painful and expensive situations. The reader (you) must not make any assumptions about who or which company I may have referred to as a source of any wrong doing—I make no accusations. No one person or organization can claim credit for providing the scenario I use as my example. (If you think or perceive that it’s you I’m referring to or embarrassing in some way, it’s not; however, I do appreciate any contribution to my learning.) Unfortunately, it often took several situations before I got the message.
Business Black Belt is an outlet for me to share the not-so-obvious and the obvious-if-recognized things I’ve learned or seen in business. I’m going to assume that I’m not much different from you as an ambitious businessperson. I’m sure that my experiences, with variations, will somehow benefit you. To make the most of this book, see how the information, anecdotes, and situations indeed apply to you and your situation.
I’m looking forward to doing business with you some day soon.
All the best,
Burke Franklin
