Business Beware Show Business Beware Show We were tired of reading books and hearing from "experts" about how to deal with customers, yada, yada... when they have never owned a business. Most of them write that stuff for fluff but we are the non-fluff small business people who decided to go against the "experts." At Business Beware we don't whine and complain about how bad a customer was, we do something about it. Be The Difference Sam Wuest My entire life I have always been told that I was different, I never knew if that was a good or bad thing but growing up all I wanted to do was fit in with everyone else. Until I hit 11th grade when all I did was start pushing the message to be different and be yourself. My number one goal in life is to help as many people as I can and that’s exactly what I want to use this podcast for. I want to spread positivity and also give you some tips on how to be different!!

The answer was: 1.) I just decided to do it, 2.) it went both terribly wrong and wonderfully right, and 3.) this book is how you can do it, too.One parent pulled me aside, a bit frazzled, and almost threatened me with, "If you ever hold a weekend workshop on how to do a creative project together with your kids, I'll pay whatever you want to charge."When I sat down with my then-8-year old on the red chair in early March of 2014, having just read a really bad children's book and said, "Wow, that book was pretty bad." I then immediately followed up with, "We can do better than that." My son looked at me like I was crazy (I was) and challenged me to follow through If I May (Version 2) by A. A. Milne (1882 - 1956) LibriVox A. A. Milne, best known as the creator of Winnie the Pooh, was a prolific author of books, plays, essays and articles. He also spent a number of years editing for Punch Magazine. He even wrote a good detective story -- The Red House Mystery !In this collection he addresses a vast range of issues, including: the essence of melodrama; the lingering effects of World War I; knowing geography versus owning an atlas; a new kind of haunted house; the inexplicable nature of high finance; the trouble with "experts;" how the life of bees suggests the social importance of artists; the bad influence of theatre critics on good theatre.All of these short pieces are humorous. Many are informative. Taken together, they will inspire many to navigate over to Milne's five other book-length humorous collections: Happy Days, The Holiday Round, Not That It Matters, Once a Week, and The Sunny Side -- or, perhaps, to The Red House Mystery.- Summary by Kirsten Wever
