You never have to do life or business alone -- not even if you're a member of the introvert family (like me and thousands of financial advisors )! I bet you recently saw the story of Diana Nyad, world record-holding long-distance swimmer. I was working in the city (Manhattan) when she swam 28 miles around the island in 1975. Since then, I've read about her tries and fails. Now, 38 frig'n years later, on her 5th attempt, at age 62, she swam 110 miles between Cuba and Florida. Amazing!
