It was not long ago that I had to have an emergency surgery done to remove a tennis-ball-size tumor and 14 inches of my colon. I spent a total of nine days in the hospital’ intensive care unit. I’m sure you’re wondering why I am sharing this with you. It’s simple. “Money never sleeps.” (Yes, I stole the quote from the movie “Wall Street.”) Just because I was out of the office doesn’t mean that my customers’ businesses just stopped. It is difficult to go from a happy, healthy salesman to sick and out of action.
