If you can’t trust the king, who can you trust? That’s a good question. Well, it’s at least an interesting question. Especially since so many people seem to prefer no kings at all. In fact, they’ll go to any length, including the exclusion of men who aren’t kings. In a way, history is filled with examples of why you can’t … The rest of the story…

Business owners can’t be coasters. At least not if you wanna have any kind of shot at success. Because the only way to coast is downhill.
