Seventy-nine realities that hold whether or not anybody likes them.Each entry starts with a familiar business saying. It shows the loose reading that gets owners and managers into trouble, then gives the wording that closes it. It names the false belief behind the saying, the reality, the cost the company can see, and the cost that arrives later at the owner’s desk.Then the harsh truths of the owner’s seat, and what owning a company does to a life.The Realities first appeared as an appendix to Residual Claimants, Volume One of The Paid Last Series. They are printed here on their own, for the owner’s desk and for the people he hands them to.For owners, and for the people they are developing.
