Lenny the Liar

It would be nice if those Progressive Insurance commercials where you could ask for an official review/replay in life actually existed! Unfortunately, in the business world, you may occasionally encounter someone who behaves like Jon Lovitz as the Pathological Liar. Hence we add to the Hall of Infamy Lenny the Liar, who can also be a gaslighter, too.

Key topics:

✔️ Beware of the phrase, "I AM THE CLIENT!" It's akin to "the customer is always right" even though every business owner knows that is not true.
✔️ If you left Corporate America to avoid liars, backstabbers, micromanagers, etc., if you do not carefully guard your own practice, you can duplicate the same nightmare you sought to escape.
✔️ Lenny types can also try to use you as a scapegoat. They know their project is probably doomed to fail and they want to point a finger of blame at someone other than themselves.
✔️ Do you have a rainy day fund set aside? If you have some money put back in savings, it can make things easier if you need to fire fast.
