POWER MOVES · OPINION

The reported sale of this Dana Point resort is a reminder to keep a specific transaction in its own market segment. My take: a luxury-hotel headline should prompt better questions, not become a shortcut to conclusions about every property. The power move: use the news to learn, write down what you still need to understand, and turn that learning into a concrete next step. — Eric Lawrence Frazier, MBA, Your Trusted Advisor in Business and Wealth
