The Banker's Code

by George Antone

Rule No. 2: Banking is about financing, not about investing.

Rule No. 3: Be a disciplined money manager.

Remember: Every dollar can either make you interest (work for you) or you can spend it and give up the interest you make on it.

Rule No. 4: Be an honest banker.

You have to always pay back your bank.

Rule No. 5: Remember The Golden Rule of banking: “Whoever has the gold makes the rules!”

Cash flow is everything! Access to capital is king. Control is everything.

Rule No. 6: Adopt the banker’s habits.
