Some advice on doing business36 total reviews
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I think all those observations are spot on, and every parent should read this. Life has man opportunities, but we have to be prepared for them, and use them to the best of our abilities. It's not only children that need to follow this, older people do as well. Well done! A very interesting read. :)) Sandra xx

Comment from dellsworthpoet
A succinct and meaningful article. The pointers were good and the examples better. These points are nice to see all in one place. The flow is good and the piece stays on message.
Thanks for a good read.

Comment from Anne Johnston
Thank you so much, Terry for sharing all your secrets of success. I like that you have stressed punctuality, hard work, and practice as being so important. This is something that every young person should listen to.

Comment from Susan Newell
Terry,
All of this is good advice and the fact that it is peppered with high profile people makes it all the more fascinating. When I started my second sales job, the business was owned by a couple of ex-Xerox salesman. They had a number of Xerox training posters hung up around the offices. One of them was "Operate on Lombardi time." Proofing notes follow.

Check your title for caps and spelling
to work in the private sector and help start two companies. ==> helped start
"Because in your training, you ask more questions than anybody." -- asked?
the Dallas Cowboys Public relations department and asked -- I'd cap relations and department

Comment from Gloria ....
How cute, the Canada goose and her goslings. This is terrific advice for a manager, walking around to get to know his/her company. So many isolate themselves as if they fear their employees.
Cancer Society is one of the easier non-profits to fundraise for, and you are absolutely correct, success requires a committed team.
I always got a charge out of the quote, "Ninety per cent of this game is half mental." Very true, and hard work to perfect one's skill might yield the jackpot, but there are no guarantees in this life, even with working hard.
Just one typo in the title:
The keys to Sucess (Success)
and, one question, what projects did Zale Jewelry Corporation support from its fundraising department?
Great read here, and many thanks for sharing. :))

Gloria, thank you for the review and edit. The Zales as I recall did not have a fundraising department. The two brothers William and Morris had family foundations that support a variety of charitable interests. Terry.
Comment from lyenochka
Thanks for all these great words of wisdom! I think you could have made any of these subtitles into a Six Word poem for the contest! You certainly have met a lot of famous people and even though you didn't raise your own kids, I'm sure you have mentored many like a good father!

Comment from karenina
Hi Terry.
What a fine opinion piece on those things which are the building blocks to successful business life-and to life, in general!
Your anecdotes are appealing glimpses of often famous folks you've interacted with, all of whom seemed to have both feet planted on solid ground.
Ask questions, be courteous, accept mistakes and learn from them, have class...
I particularly enjoyed the story of Roger Staubach. Amen to that! Not out for glory or greed. Just a decent man doing the decent thing.
I found myself nodding and smiling.
Thanks for that!

Karenina, this is a little departure for me to do a commentary. But wait in about ten days I will offer up Romantic Fiction! I hope the readers are kind! Terry.

Variety is the spice! Always enjoy your writing...
Comment from MissMerri
A great bit of advice and excellent in presentation. I enjoyed this and can see it could easily become a guide to companies wanting to teach and inspire new employees. It is well edited and masterfully composed. I see nothing at all to change.

Miss Merri, Thank you for the six stars for my story!! I am humbled! Terry.
Comment from Carol Hillebrenner
Your suggestions are very practical and common sense, exception for Lombardi time. Always be a little early but not days early. The bosses won't know what to do with you. My granddaughter had a boss recently who ignored every one of your suggestions. In the end, even though they needed the jobs, everyone quit. It took that for the owners of the company to learn and fire her, no matter how good she looked on paper.
