The moment a man loses ambition, his progress, so far as business advancement is concerned, ceases.
Nearly every successful business today is successful because the proprietors, in the infancy of the business, were filled with ambition which made them work hard.
We are all familiar with the successful business man who loses his ambition. It is an absolute certainty that as soon as a man loses ambition his business falls off, unless he makes it an object to take care of the ambitious young men in his employ, so that they may keep up the pace of progress he established.
Lawyers
Keep in touch with a lawyer, but don't take his advice on business matters.
A lawyer should be like a dictionary—a place of reference.
Lawyers by the very nature of their vocation have much to do with concerns who are in trouble, and with firms who are poorly managed.
Lawyers know law first and business second; the business man knows business first and law second.
The advice of one successful business man is worth the advice of twenty-three lawyers on a matter of business.
