And I learned. Wow, did I learn about show business, about being a working woman, about making hard choices, and about life. Neither of us dared to think our work together would last for 25 years which leads me to one of the first lessons I learned.

I did say that I wanted to remain within a budget but there were lots of chairs to choose from in that price point. His generous price discounting has served to bring questions to my mind rather than create loyalty. Chuck didn’t know me from Adam. I was a pretty easy going customer. Just what are the margins?

A truly strange scenario is the client that asks you to rush and asks you for a discount because they have a small budget. It has been a very hard lesson to learn, but I am better for it. So you sign up for courses.

So the economy gets bad, the company loses customers, and the budget tightens up. It’s not all that bad once you learn how, but it’s not a job for wall flowers.

When I first started as a newspaper reporter, I was nervous of competition (especially since the competing paper had a budget and staff which dwarfed ours by leaps and bounds). It sounds cliche, but I just learned to out-hustle my competition. If they gain ground, then I need to do something better…simple as that.
