Benjamin Franklin once said, "Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." Every good business mentor knows that the best way to train a mentee is to provide hands-on experience with all aspects of a business's operation. In It Mattered to Me, Jeff Stamps offers a host of entertaining stories about his unforgettable mentor, pharmacist William Beeber. The inimitable "Mr. Beeber" was passionate about the pharmacy profession, and though he practiced in a humble strip mall in Trotwood, Ohio, he played a leading role in developing the long-term care pharmacy industry into what it is today. Jeff recounts, in a humorous and colorful fashion, the many life and business lessons he learned from Mr. Beeber. Jeff's recollections span from his days as Mr. Beeber's eager, young pharmacy student intern to his years as a senior executive in the long-term care pharmacy industry. Throughout his career, Jeff applied the time-tested business principles he learned from Mr. Beeber, some of which included 'be prompt, be humble, be confident (not cocky), cultivate relationships, and strive to be an expert in every aspect of your business.' While training others, Jeff frequently told "Mr. Beeber stories," and this book is the result of his listeners' entreaties to "write those stories down " This engaging and easy-to-read tribute will make every reader long for a winsome, remarkable mentor like William Beeber.
