If you only had 3 minutes to live what would you do?
The situation - You're on the edge of a cliff, in a 30-foot-tall portable toilet (portapotty) with a vent on top. There is a 1 lb block of C4 connected to the door latch and hooked to a 3 minute timer. There also is a brand new 35-foot rope, a pocket knife, the leftover wire used to rig the bomb, a case of Molson Golden , a pack of JuicyFruit gum and MacGuyver is nowhere to be found. At the bottom of the cliff, Neil Young is performing a concert hosted by the local chapter of the Young Democrats from the local liberal arts college. What do you do? Outside is your lesbian neighbor Monique. The timer starts right now.
Well, If I can open the door without the C4 going off I would do the following:
1. Move the beer out for later consumption
2. distract my lesbian neighbor by offering her some gum and while she was distracted tie the rope to her and use the knife to cut the excess rope.
3. I would carve Vote Republican onto the wall of the portapotty (time permitting).
4. I would then push the portapotty over the cliff onto the Neil Young concert goers and take out as many liberal democrats as possible with the added bonus of pulling the lesbian neighbor over the edge with the portapotty to be with her liberal buddies.
If rigged and I could not escape, I would drink as much of the beer as I could for about 2 minutes, disregard the gum and rock the portapotty back and forth until it went over the cliff down onto the liberals below. I would hope that my lesbian neighbor would look over the cliff to see what happened and would get taken out by the massive glass from the beer bottles that would have exploded with the C4.
Oh, yeah, and just seconds before I went, ask god to foregive me for my sins as it worked for the thief who died on the cross next to Jesus, so the bible tells me so!
That was easy, NEXT!

Mentoring In How To Buy A Business
HOW TO EVALUATE THE TRUE WORTH OF A BUSINESS
PART 8 of 21
"Mentoring in How to Buy a Business"
by Willard Michlin
30% of all business buyers have been through the process before and therefore have learned, through experience, what they should do and not do. They graduated from the very expensive but enlightening "School Of Hard Knocks." I myself learned how to become a business broker, hard money loan broker, real estate speculator, builder, and land developer by going to this school. I must tell you, that the tuition is more expensive than Harvard Medical School or any other top notch University in the world. Being sixty-one years old it is sometimes very enlightening to reflect on ones life, in retrospect, and see what was done right and wrong. This exercise is often called the "What if?" It is sometimes productive and sometimes demoralizing. We all have made mistakes and the only person who hasn’t is the person who never takes a chance. While doing this introspection, one big repetitive action repeated multiple times is my reason for repeatedly going back to the "School of Hard Knocks."
One of the reasons I joined professional associations was to have contact with people who knew things about my industry that I didn’t. They became my associates, from whom I could call and ask questions. Occasionally I met an old timer who really knew the ropes. When it was possible, I went out of my way to build a relationship. I wanted him to be a "mentor" to me.
Not everyone who is an “old timer” and has experience can mentor others. When I was a member of the Building Industry Association I met one of the top ten industrial general contractors in the USA. His advice to me was to just jump in and do it. I kept asking him, How? He could not understand my questions, so he stopped spending time talking with me. A real mentor would have helped me outline the plan step-by-step. He would have helped me overcome the obstacles that inevitably occur, because an experienced person usually has the solution.
At the beginning of this article I stated that 30% of all business buyers have been through the process before. That would naturally lead to the conclusion that 70% of all business buyers have never bought a business before. The 70% knowing that they do not know anything about buying a business usually look for some family member, or family friend, who has experience, to help them. Some of these inexperienced buyers understand that they need a team to help. They look for an attorney to help them develop or write the contract and form the legal entity. They find an accountant who will review and audit the seller’s records. They may even look for a business appraiser to tell them what the business is actually worth, in order to make sure that they do not over pay for the purchase. The one thing that many buyers realize but cannot find is a business-buying mentor. This is someone to educate them through the process and tell them about the pitfalls of locating and purchasing a business.
The attorneys and accountants have specific functions that come into play only after you are 100% sure you are intending to buy a business because you must be ready to pay for these services. But what about before you reach that point? What about when you are asked to make an offer even before the financial information has turned over to you to have an advisor study? What do you do then? These are hard questions for even a seasoned buyer to answer, and impossible for a novice. What is needed is a mentor to help guide the way. The word mentor is defined--in a business setting: as the act or process of helping someone younger or less experienced to learn the ropes.
When buying a business today, one needs to be educated in the whole process. Each prospect that examined and evaluated can and should increase the knowledge and understanding of the buyer. Only in this way, can a buyer truly know a good business deal when he finds it.
By mentoring buyers instead of just offering only due diligence, I have found that when you lose a client, after you educate them, you may still had a lifelong friend.
