I don’t know about you, but the folks I have to pay are not very concerned with whether or not I am getting paid in a timely manner. They want their money. Why is it then that we have such a difficult time holding our customers to the same standard. Why on earth should we feel guilty calling our customers to ask for OUR money?

In 1983, Gardner published his book on multiple intelligences. It swept through the world of education like a whirlwind and was widely announced as the new paradigm.
