I was out chatting with the landscaper for a half hour, as his dudes dumped dirt in the backyard. It is going to take ten truck loads of dirt to fill in one little corner of the yard. When you smoosh down dirt, it doesn’t add up to much. That, my friend, is your deep thought of the day.

The landscaper used to be a Wall Street trader pulling in 300K in bonuses, but he hated it. So, he saved those bonuses and bought a landscaping business. His business seems to be doing so well that he buying up investment properties on the Jersey shore.

Yes, I am very good at pumping people for information.

This guy is doing well, but most small business efforts fail. What is he doing differently? Hmmm… I think that’s my next round of questions.
