I think he was right and this post backs that up. My dad and one of his brothers have been estranged for decades, so I can barely remember ever meeting him, but the one thing I do know is he gave my dad that piece of advice; and amassed a fortune around it.

Yet I'm concerned that by doing that, I'll just set up another competitor to deal with, and someone with inside knowledge of how I run my business on top of it! An extra competitor is no big deal, but it's the sharing of ideas part that has me concerned... This is something I’m struggling with.
