John Ruskin 1819 – 1900…..the price of everything and the value of nothing.

‘its unwise to pay too much for something, but its worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money – that’s all.

When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything because the thing that you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot – it just can’t be done.

If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better !!’

Building a sustainable business calls on your value system, your core beliefs and hopefully you will learn to value good quality services and goods, build strong relationships and find trusted advisors.
