I can always tell when the holiday season arrives…we get the first Christmas cards, always from my wife’s hair stylist and my longtime friend and colleague Paul Schneider.

Maybe that’s true, but to be honest, the people above 50 I know in business who are looking to thrive, or are thriving, are doing quite well …
