As I went to my "Tax" guy to prepare some business papers, I got hit by something that prompted me to finally write this article.

When I entered his office, right next to the reception desk, there stood the big poster. It looked like it was 3ft tall by 1.5ft wide. It was all white with big and bold black lettering. The lettering was as big as it could fit on the paper.

The lettering said: "Do It Right The First Time."

That's all the poster was; White sheet of paper with black bold lettering. It was one of those motivational pictures displayed at corporate offices.

I've seen this at many corporations (just a different picture with the same statement "Do It Right The First Time"), but this one really got to me. That's because there was no picture attached to it. It was just the statement all by itself.

I started thinking about it while I was waiting to get in, and I was kind of glad that the employees there are getting influenced by this type of energy. If they don't do my (or other business owners) business paperwork right the first time, then I'll be in trouble dealing with the consequences of the sloppy work.

What bothered me was that I've met way too many people who work at corporate offices that bring this type of influence to their private life
