When I take out a loan from the bank, the bank lends me money, and when I repay the loan, I owe that money back to the bank, plus interest, on the repayment date. However, when I sell my used car, a debt arises in which the buyer must pay me cash equivalent to the price of the used car, and I incur a performance debt in which I have to hand over the used car to the buyer. When these two different debts are exchanged, a transaction is completed. The goal of business is to make debt well and pay it back well over and over again. A transaction must create debt without exception, but a transaction that generates debt on only one side is an absolutely unfavorable contract for someone. That’s the essence of a loan agreement. There are good debts and bad debts depending on the type of debt I have to pay (or fulfill). If you do not make this distinction clearly, you are more likely to fall behind in the social system. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
The most difficult clients to consult are those who are simultaneously greedy and fearful. They don't take action because they strongly believe in their ideas, but on the other hand, they are overwhelmed by fear and don't trust the consultant's advice. It's a very exhausting life. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
