Form authentic relationships and you'll find mentors

I decided to the time to completely re-do my design and now have very authentic looking letters and handwritten envelopes.

"never clearly defined any of his policies (the devil is often in the details)"Between Ockham's razor and Nike's slogan we should be fine!

Be authentic and confident, know you have a good deal and you want them to be your partner...but don't give them everything.  

I like to ask kids if they can name some of their favorite companies (Nike, for example).

I recently sold a house and my bank, BB&T, wouldn't let me create a cashier's check from the wired funds that same day (and is still impeding things two business days later) because:I move all the time and don't have a permanent addressThey claimed not to have a record of me making similar requests (I'd made at least 5 in the past 1.5 years)It was a large amountThe title company could withdraw the wire after BB&T had given me the cashier's checkThey asked me stupid questions to authenticate me like, "How much money did you initially deposit when you opened your account 1.5 years ago?"

My best friends husband is a CPA but works for Nike and has no idea about real estate stuff, so he was not much help. 

Either way, you should covet their authentic reaction even when it's tears.  

"Just do it" like Nike.  

@Jay Hinrichs,  there are so many things wrong with this story 1) No Multi Factor authentication ( It's a feature with google apps you just have to turn it on ) 2) Poor password discipline 3) Your vendor is accepting non encrypted non digitally signed emails :-((  There are companies like https://www.mimecast.com/ that are "relatively" easy for business to consume as part of their processes thus providing for secure messaging There are so MANY companies that don't have the proper tooling or processes to enhance security and thus combat fraud.
