Those who speak with intelligence must hold fast to that which is common to all, even more strongly than a city holds fast to its law. For all human laws are dependent upon one divine Law, for this rules as far as it wills, and suffices for all, and overabounds.

Kaplan went down and curled into the fetal position faster than a 10-key doing sixth-grade math. Joe came to our company; he showed a gangly bunch of writers and designers how to read a balance sheet. Athenaikos quoting of Heraclitus rings true, Joe held fast to "that which is common to all." Good stuff. Go Joe. Joe doesn’t mention it, but his “debate” with Kaplan came to fist-a-cuffs. Kaplan went down and curled into the fetal position faster than a 10-key doing sixth-grade math.

His seminars are as good as gold for upper management types who are busy but need to understand the basics of finance. Good stuff. I’ve read Joe’s book and it has dramatically helped our business.
