Thank you both Gentlemen.
Look at it this way, I have had four decades to hone my mistakes.
Here's a few things I have taught myself in the real world.
I always try not to make the same mistake twice.
Not all salespeople are going to rip you off, Rick & Nancy are living proof of this.
Unfortunately, they are in the minority, 'nuff said on that.
When you find a good product and a good system, work on them both to make them work better for both you and the client. (I like what you did with that poly; if you want to see what can be done with poly's;, check these three pics out:

Sometimes, I under-quote on a job, (very rare now), BUT I always work that job to the best of my ability and try to get the very best result possible regardless of what it costs me.
Think long and hard before to open your wallet for that new toy.
ASK - ASK - ASK people to give you their take on something, especially those that have bought that product and take notice of the ones that are doing well in their own business.
DON'T let a salesperson pressure you into buying something, it's your money, you worked hard to get it, so you can spend it with whomever you want to.
Always talk these purchases over with your spouse/family before you commit.
With chemicals, ALWAYS check out the MSDS PRIOR to purchase and check for any nasties, if you're not sure on a product, Google it, or ASK QUESTIONS about it.
There are many other gems, but it's getting past my bedtime & I have an early start tomorrow.
G'night all.
Shorty.
