Here’s a poem about the need to be businesslike.

You must always be businesslike in everything you do, especially if you’re a creative person reliant on agents and advisors. Never assume people won’t rip you off. They will, if they’re given the chance.

Easy money can tempt even normally honest people, should they feel the need.

Never take your eye off the financial ball. Failing to do so could prove very costly.

POEM ABOUT BEING BUSINESSLIKE

Remember:

Not everyone is honest. Not everyone can be trusted. Many, if not most, people can’t be trusted. Just because they seem like thoroughly decent people doesn’t mean they are.

If it’s your money, you must know where it is and have control over access to it.

If you assume you can’t trust anyone, 99.9% of the time you will be correct.

Never trust anyone who doesn’t have as much to lose as you do.

Be businesslike and protect your own interests. If you don’t, no one else will. That much can be guaranteed.
