<div>Dr. Phil comments that we teach people how to treat us.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>If a dealer doesn't strive to elevate you, both monetarily and in
performance</div>
<div>you will not get ahead and be something of an indentured servant
or worse,</div>
<div>you'll be floundering around in mediocrity.</div>

<div>Raise your prices to him and insist on quality performance. If he
doesn't</div>
<div>want to elevate his business practices, tactfully decline work.
He'll find some</div>
<div>other schlep and just might reserve you for the better jobs where
performance</div>
<div>is and issue.</div>
