Theodore T. Myre, Jr.

Counsel

How do your clients define success?

Most of my clients define success measured by their ability to help others, whether those others are patients, children at risk, individuals struggling with addiction or youngsters seeking a good education. Those clients generally want to break even at the least or even generate net revenue based upon the “no margin, no mission” credo, or if they are health care providers, to earn an honest day’s pay. Even my business clients who are bottom-line driven have the goal of making the world a better place and doing it the right way.
