Win/Win

I wanted to write this book, not as a biography but as means of sharing my life experiences so that people can see how I have been successful and hope it will be beneficial to them. As detailed, I have practiced and applied various thoughts that I have learned from my years in business. I used simple phrases to develop my business such as, "if at first you don't succeed, try, try again," and also things like you can "figure it out with a hard pencil."I was blessed early in my life with a loving and caring family. A lot of people would say that my upbringing was strict. I would say not. I learned early in life that you had to work and I did not mind working and I thought everybody did it. My mother was a great inspiration and gave me the drive to succeed. She believed that education was what makes a difference. I never missed a day in school for twelve years. It was always a given that I would go to the university. I was fortunate to fall in love early with my wife Lynn and enjoyed 59 years of marriage. After my degree in business at UNC-Chapel Hill and my service as a naval officer, I was on my own and never worked for anyone. I started a business, encountered a lot of problems. I learned from the start and spent my life making things better, all the time learning and applying. This book, entitled "Win-Win" explains my business philosophy. At the end of the day what we need to succeed is to win-win.G. Leroy Lail, June 2020
