One key fact about a shark is that it must keep moving. If the shark stops moving, it will drown. In order to be successful in sales and business, you must keep moving. In business, everything is a risk. You have to determine if it is a good risk or a bad risk. If it is a good risk, take the shot, if it is a bad risk, look for another opportunity.
