So today we are looking at lesson two for business advice from a holiday movie, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. This Dr. Seuss' original book was made into a movie twice, once in 1966 and then again in 2000 with Jim Carrey. If you haven’t seen the 2000 version it's pretty funny. Here is an overview.
