Having Dinner In New York With My Old Friend, Mr. Ron Pollack, Part 2
Mar 27 2009, 6:06 PM EDT
Shortly after I saw Harry, I met "Doug", a gentleman that runs a small firm catering to hedge funds. I immediately thought of Harry and I put the two of them together. It went well because Doug gave Harry a trial run, and Harry did very well. During his first couple of phone calls about some old accounts, he found a big order and it increased from then on. Now after only 4 months on the job, Harry is one of Doug’s top producers. Thus, it was no surprise to see Harry beaming when we met for dinner. He’s making money, good money and having a blast. I was elated. Then Harry announced that dinner would be his treat, in fact he said, “Ron Pollack I am going to treat you every time you come to NYC!I was already happy because we were eating at one of the great steakhouses in the City. ,“Every day we’ve been hearing stories of doom and gloom like the end of Wall Street, the end of hedge funds, the end of the world as we know it,toward the end of the evening, I asked Harry this question. While events have proven disorienting, I'd be interested in hearing your opinions, given the success that you have enjoyed.Ron, there are a lot of people hurting right now and I truly feel for them, but I am living proof that if you’re good at what you do, have the willingness to work hard and apply yourself and are realistic in your expectations, you can make it and even flourish in times like these,His answer was refreshing and went something like this, he said. I’m not getting paid what I used to but I have nothing to complain about. People like us are fighters, we’re survivors and there’s business to be done. There will always be business to be done for those who find a way to be productive.Here's to my friend Harry! Keep showing us how it’s done. Ron Pollack, signing off for now. Do you find this valuable? |
