Summary

Listen to episode 1005 of the Inspirational Living podcast: How to Be a Genius in Business. Edited and adapted from The Book of Business by Elbert Hubbard.

Inspirational Podcast Excerpt: The great 21st century retailer must be a leader in taste. They are an educator. They stand for economy, color, proportion, harmony and increased happiness. They inspire the imagination by bringing from the far comers of the earth the products of the loom, work-shop, farm, mine, and studio. They display these goods so that the public may examine them — compare, weigh, analyze, sift, decide and make them their own if they wish.
