A funny story about knowing your worth in business:

[Alan Asriants]

There was a well known dentist in the area that was great at what he did and had a very successful practice.

His office was always busy and patients are always happy

One day, one of his equipment failed and he could no longer get water pressure and suction.

He starts to panic, because without this equipment he can't start any procedures.

Time is ticking and people are waiting and waiting.

He calls over his manager and asks him to find a good plumber immediately.

His manager calls a plumber and has him come out within the next 20 min

The plumber walks in and the dentist says to him: "Please sir, we need to get this fixed, I don't care how much this costs!"

The plumber says: "Don't worry doctor, let me take a look"

The plumber goes to the basement and starts looking at the equipment.

He takes out a wrench, tightens a valve, inspects it, and in two minutes heads back upstairs.

"Doctor, the problem is fixed, here is an invoice for $2000"

The doctor looks shocked and says: "$2000!!!! Are you kidding me?! You were there for 5 minutes!"

The plumber grins, puts his hand on the doctors shoulder, and calmly says:

"When I was a dentist I used to say the same thing"
