It is entirely possible to operate on a higher plane and still be a winner in our marketplace today.Each essay in the book is designed to address a specific issue of business operations or personal conduct that can have a significant impact on a business operation. It is recommended that each essay be read as a challenge to determine if your business may need some corrective action in that specific area. The associated Proverb reference serves as a spotlight on the issue and reminds us that human nature remains unchanged over thousands of years. Do not fear, your issues are not so complicated that they cannot be addressed by God’s wisdom. Gary D. Seale Austin, Texas March 4, 2007
