A CEO was ordered to take 2 weeks of absence after suffering a heart attack. His doctor advised him to spend some quality R&R time - preferably in a remote place with little distraction or stress.

He ended up in a tiny fishing village in Mexico. He strolled out onto his deck overlooking the ocean and noticed a tiny fishing boat coming in.

"Looks like you caught a few fish there", the CEO bellowed.

"Yes, senior", the man replied, in surprisingly good english.

"How long did it take you to catch all those?"

"Oh, only an hour or so senior."

"Well, why don't you stay out longer and catch more?"

"I have enough to feed my family, and give a few to friends. That's all I need."

"Well, what do you do with the rest of your time?"

"Well, I sleep late, fish a little, and spend the evening drinking wine with friends and taking walks with my wife. I have a full and busy life senior."

(The CEO chuckled) "Sir, I am a Harvard MBA and I can help you. The first thing you need to do is buy a bigger boat, and stay out and fish longer. Instead of giving the fish away, we'll sell them directly to the market. Once you have enough money you can buy a fleet of boats. Then, we'll cut out the middle man and sell directly to the consumer."

"But....what then senior?"

"You'll have to start a corporation and probably move to Los Angeles. As your business grows, you'll add more boats, and become very, very rich."

"And then....senior?"

"That's the best part. Once you've accumulated enough wealth, you can offer an IPO. You'll probably have to move to New York, but you'll make MILLIONS."

"Millions, senior?"

"Yes, millions."

"But, what then senior?"

"With all that money you can move to a tiny fishing village in Mexico and spend your time sleeping late, drinking wine with friends, and talking long walks with your wife."
