Saved me a million! “I was planning a major investment in my property but got to thinking I should get a second opinion before I spent the money. Being a fan of Michael Olson’s book and radio show, I called on him. We walked the land one day, I told him what I was thinking, and we talked. Finally, he asked, “Do you want to invest in and Ethel Jean?” When he explained what an Ethel Jean was, it all clicked, and I realized he had just saved me a million dollars!” Dr. T. L. Aptos, CA

• The potential of your business strategy.
