I first heard of Bob Burg years ago, and I’m pretty sure it was either on Warrior Forum or Blake Forum. He was offering copies of his book that was in it’s third printing — for free.

20 Lessons small business owners everywhere can learn from the death of an 85 year old company. On May 29, Bear Stearns turned itself into history. It is also part of her-story — mine. Back in 1976, I was recommended to work at the Bear, never thought I’d get the job, and yet the Bear took a major risk of hiring me (it was 1976, I’m a “girl,” you know; back then, women working at trading desk was an enigma – even in NYC.).
