Some years ago, while Jon was shining shoes in the shop, a
customer was giving him business advice. Since the man is
retired from a rather successful business, I was pleased that
Jon listened. However, the conversation reminded me of how easy
it is to take too much advice.
I heard of a man who opened a fish market but was having little
success. A friend stopped in and asked how things were going.
Not well," the entrepreneur replied. "Well, I can understand
that," the friend said. "You don't even have a sign advertising

integrity, wouldn't sell old fish. So, off came "fresh."
Next, someone said the words SOLD HERE seemed unnecessary, since
it was obvious he wasn't in business somewhere else.
So, all that remained was FISH.
Then in walked a customer and announced, "I smelled your fish
three blocks away. Isn't that advertising enough?
So, that was the end of the sign.
Several months later, the man was bemoaning his business woes.
"Well, what do you expect?" a friend remarked. "You don't even
have a sign!"
