Once upon a time I went to college and earned a degree in business administration. I graduated summa cum laude, with a GPA of 3.9. When my husband’s partner died suddenly at the age of 33, I offered to take over the bookkeeping functions of their small plumbing and heating company. Hey! I have a degree! Really, how tough could it be to keep track of a dinky little contracting company?
Well, after a few years of pouring money and time into the company, with nothing to show for it, I met Frank Blau. Frank took the time to teach me how to use financial statements. Frank faxed over his income statement and took me through the process of creating a selling price. What an education!
