The Only Two Reasons…

by Mike Sigers

The great man J.P Morgan had a simple formula for finding out the real reason a person did something.

He always said the were only two reasons:

1) One that sounds good…

2) The REAL reason…

His simple formula for finding out the REAL one was to wait until the person stopped talking and then said one of these two things until he got to the REAL reason:

1) “Why?”

2) “In addition to that …”

It must have worked, my bank is named after him in some strange coincidence ;-)
