Weekly Quote, Tip, Riddle & Recipe
 
WEEKLY QUOTE -   “The mystery of life isn’t a problem to solve, but a reality to experience.”      
- Frank Herbert

WEEKLY TIP -   All business owners should work on a formal succession plan long before the endgame for their company begins. A solid succession plan addresses tax, legal, and financial issues central to business ownership transfer.
       
WEEKLY RIDDLE - You can put me on a table and cut me, but you will never eat me. What am I?
     
Last week’s riddle:
Kelsey is 16, and she just learned how to drive. She was on the other side of the road yesterday morning, but did not get a ticket even though a police car saw her. Why?
    
Last week’s answer:
She was not driving when she was on the other side of the road.

Recipe of the week!

Packed with greens, proteins and fiber, plus a rainbow of nutrients, this is the perfect salad that will also double as a complete meal! 

Don't be shy --- send us your favorite recipes and a photo of your dish and we will feature it in an upcoming newsletter!
