This reminds me of my former boss who would call me for a lunch meeting in a nearby restaurant. After lunch he would be drinking beer and I would be released to go back to the office by 2 pm while our boss will stay in the restaurant to drink until evening. That is really a bad habit for a boss.

A business owner must always learn to avoid greed. Take things one step at a time when running your business and don't be pushed because of greed to jump steps in growing your business

That is right. It is best to just do one thing at a time. Rushing and wanting to achieve everything at once will only lead you to fail. So avoid greed and do what is possible each day to keep improving.
