Your strength comes
from your family. But
you can create your
own family. Surround
yourself with people
whom you like, who
respect and support
you. Make them your
new family
.
Dr. Joe says:
I don’t want to sound like a starry-eyed idiot-
I’m not- but I would like to someday get into
an overseas medical program.
I don’t want to be a Park Avenue, New York
City doctor where there are a million
physicians already. I want a place where I
might be the only doctor and be of some
help.
Dr. Joe says...
Advertising is a waste of money.
When a customer comes in with a
complaint, give them their money
back. The money you spend giving
things away and helping individuals
is a fraction of what a radio or TV ad
would cost. But it does much more
to build loyalty and make
customers come back.
It's a little out of sequence, but Joe was an
Antiques dealer for several years after the Store
burned down. With this money he helped pay for
Medical School. Even here the underlying
philosophy of discount prices, fairness,
friendliness and humor prevailed.
