I Specialize in what Specialists Tend to Overlook

There are a good number of cpa's, attorneys, financial planners that you can intimately trust with your business which is well and good. Sometimes though the need goes beyond that. You might need an objective practitioner to tell you how he exactly see your business or would-be business and discuss with you why it would or would not succeed. Yesterday, I met a prospective tenant who wants to rent a house. Because of an impending divorce, her attorney warned her not to rent yet because the court might think that she can afford to rent a house and therefore does not need financial help from alimony. I saw her as if she is in the verge of nervous breakdown and later explained to me that she cannot stand another day in her old house with that monster. She was consulting a lawyer who is so good at what he is hired to do that he did not even notice that she was in the throes of having a nervous breakdown. Nor did he offer any more advice. Now she is torn between heeding her lawyer and another day of suffering being with the husband in the old house. The end of the story is that I found out that she had a daughter who is working with a good pay and I suggested to let the daughter sign the lease.
Giving personal business advice always comes with well-learned experience.
