The marketing madmen understand that a security integrator is not to be confused with a security dealer. When we first got started in the security industry we often got the proverbial slap on the wrist for referring to an integrator’s business as a security dealer.

Motivational writer Napoleon Hill wrote in his 1937 bestseller, Think and Grow Rich, that “You are the master of your destiny. You can influence, direct and control your own environment.
