Too much??????

So, I pull up to Wendy’s to get my favorite; a #6 Spicy Chicken Sandwich.  As I reach out of the window to get my food, I happen to look down and in street between the window and my car was over a dollar in change.  There were quarters, dimes, and nickels. That is 20% [...]

Some people are better than others!

Yes, I said it. Not everyone is equal. Inspite of contrary beliefs, and the good ole constitution, of which I am a fan, when it comes to free enterprise there is no equality. Managing your customers, blog readers, “talkers” or supporters equally, equals DEATH. Listen, if we assume that 80% of our business, exposure, [...]

If it were easy . . .

So after yesterdays post I recieved feedback that the 5 T’s are difficult.   Now, I had to think about that for a second and doggonit they were right!  WOM and cre8ing buzz is difficult, and the 5 T’s aren’t easy.  Shucks!  But that is the good news.  Not everyone can do it, and therefore if [...]

Anonymity Sucks!

I just got back from Blood Diamond, Leonardo DiCapriao, Jennifer Connelly and Djimon Hounsou.  Simply put it is about the dark side of the diamond smuggling business.  100’s of millions of dollars come from diamonds harvested in "conflict" areas where people are murdered and tortured.  It is unbelievable, the level of hell people of these [...]
