{"product_id":"marc-nemeth-marcisms-9798895536100","title":"Marcisms","description":"I was returning from a business trip, and as I entered the reception area and approached my office, I saw a flip chart with several of my favorite sayings on it. Next to the chart was my daughter and a young engineer. I looked at the chart, I looked at them and did this a number of times. They started to get somewhat uncomfortable. I then said, \"Oh, there are many more of those sayings.\" So that was the start of the process that resulted in this book.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n Initially, I saw the writing down of these \"Marcisms\" as a legacy to my kids. They would contain all, or very close to all, the knowledge that I have acquired mostly by making numerous mistakes over the years, borrowing and shamelessly stealing ideas and saying from others, and of course, things that I came up with myself. I have tried to give credit to others, but I am sure I have fallen way short on this matter.\n\u003cbr\u003e\n Many of the Marcisms are universal truths that are common knowledge, and I have applied them to my experiences. Others are things I have learned through trial and error. I am sure longtime business owners will read this book, and for most of the items, they will say, \"Oh, I knew that.\" However, newbies may find it more helpful and will get a different perspective than what is taught in business school or at least what was taught in business schools. For example, when I was taking a course for my MBA years and years ago, a finance professor said, \"Don't hold cash. Invest it, and you will be rewarded.\" This proved to be a bad advice for me.\n\u003cbr\u003e\nWhen I \"invested\" my nest egg, it almost put me in bankruptcy. As I looked over the cliff and into the chasm of bankruptcy, I endeavored that if I ever got into a position of having cash again, I would hold onto it-hence, the concept of the \"rich uncle.\"","brand":"Page Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53637399314774,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/5829\/5382\/files\/product_image_9798895536100_1.jpg?v=1778678357","url":"https:\/\/www.momoxbooks.com\/products\/marc-nemeth-marcisms-9798895536100","provider":"momoxbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
