"An hour of planning can save ten hours of doing."
Apparently, Dale Carnegie said that.
Mr. Carnegie was a 20th century influencer, who, as
far as I can tell, never sold any weed. He did make a pile of money
selling books and talks on how to be confident, charming, etc. That's
not my cup of tea (the "telling people" part), but I do
like his quote. I would add that, as applied to legal matters, an
hour of planning can save ten hours of doing, as well as
undoing. Sometimes, it's more than ten hours too.
For the past decade, I've taken several calls a week from
individuals making a play in the cannabis industry. Some of these
callers haven't yet taken any formal steps; others are partway
down the road, amid some episode with legal atmospherics; and a
third group is similar to the second group, but dealing with
self-inflicted wounds. We're talking about the third group
today.
