W.W.B.D.?

Go to any high school across the country and you'll find pretty much the same thing.  Group of geeks, group of gothics, group of jocks, group of preps, group of "likes to fight" guys.  That's it...everywhere.  There are a few people that ascend above the stereotypes and become basically the cool kid at your school.  At FHS, we called this kid "Biz".

Business, or Biz for short, was all about the almighty dollar from a young age.  Hauling lumber or selling knives, you never knew what Biz would be into.  Only thing you knew was that he was raking in the dough.  Biz was loved by all...basically was the emotional leader of the entire school.  The type of person you'd like to pattern your life after.  In that spirit, I'd like to take a stab at What Would Biz Do? in the following 3 situations.

1.  Not sure whether to take a date to your class reunion?

The Biz would not bring a date.  Biz would show up at the reunion, and walk up to the mic.  "Wassup ya'll....it's the Biz.  All you ladies out there, Biz is in the house to satisfy.  Fellas, better keep a hold of your ladies, cuz Biz doesn't care if they're married or not."  You see the genius of the Biz when you dissect this.  In my line of work we call this "the law of large numbers".  Basically the larger the pool of people surveyed, the risk associated decreases.  Biz doesn't limit himself to just one lady, but the entire pool of ladies at the reunion.

2.  Money lost in your 401(k)?

Find a way to make it up.  Grab a couple of your friends and patsies and shoot some dice until you make up the difference.

3.  Not sure how to motivate your office team?

Round everyone up in the conference room.  Water your face and hair down, so you get that shiny Biz look.  Look your team in the eyes, and tell them repeatedly to "Go out and get it from the it".  If they question you, just repeat that phrase, but louder.
