Robin Koval is a class act and her book is nothing short of brilliant. In my experience the old saying that "nice guys finish last" couldn't be further from the truth. In my profession I have the benefit of dealing with many successful entrepreneurs and executives and the ones who stand out are always the individuals who understand that what goes around comes around. I highly recommend Robin's book.

It seems to me we, as human beans, have two basic choices in life:
foster our creative flow or accumulate things. If we accumulate as a
consequence of continued creativity, it seems to work the best. But if
we focus only on accumulation, like "getting money," at the expense of
creative flow things seem to go badly. Not right away, and not always,
but I'm just sayin'... :-)

I agree with N2 growth, the saying " nice guys finish last " is not always the truth and at the same time nice guys don't always finish first. I have seen just as many naughty guys finish first as " nice guys." The key is to be professional. Your customers and employees have a right to be treated with respect as does the business owner. When a business owner holds employees and customers to there standards and systems he is not being bad he is being professional. But in a nice way he should explain his policies and suggest other ways of solving the problems.

You always should do the right thing..that is nice to me. As long as you don't let folks take advantage of you then you may start down the road of finishing last.
