I guess, I'd agree with fighting fire with fire. Red, you have got to get some procedures written down, so you know what to do in certain situations, then follow your own procedures. Sounds like you don't have a plan, so depending on your frame of mind you are inconsistent, sometimes over...

Pat, usually you can't or shouldn't copy another idea directly, but collect other ideas, what worked what didn't and with bits and pieces from here and there you can come up with your own idea. Nothing is guaranteed to work, even your best idea can bomb. Whining that God doesn't love you...

IMO, Oprah wouldn't have done any of the anti-business taxes/rules/demonetizing

Pat Crowe & promotions Pat Crowe emailed me and reminded me that no one has talked about outrageous publicity stunts. Just type Oprah into our new Forum search box above, and you will find a number links to the threads that discuss his Oprah for President promotion that almost instantly made...

When has the government every been in sync with your needs?

Markets change and society changes. When people have more money they want to spend it to make their lives easier. We are paying for convenience. Life for us is always about taking calculated risk. You will need to know when your model isn't working any longer and make changes. Just like...

Thanks MJ, I got that number from a cop on the street. BTW, the pictures from the trip are up: http://autocareforum.biz/photogallery/index.php?cat=10004

Our cable company claims that you can target your customers. I think that you have to know which programs that they are likely to watch.

Living in an area of many/mostly government jobs being bid out for 40 years, I've never seen anything but union wages being paid whether it was a union or non-union contractor. I never checked into the why.

I had to run to the opposite end of the airport and just made my flight.

Go to the Library, we have a bunch of them there.

Yeap, they have time and money to make a joke of Washington, but they won't even hold a committee meeting to discuss the immigration problems. Anyone that votes for any anyone in office, should have his head examined. Of course, some of these Tea Party dingbats make the ones there look reasonable.

Read the Davis Bacon bill which all government contracts call for. It's union wages whether union or not.

Red, that is easy to fix, just run everything by your wife, she saves your butt and you might get laid more often. A happy woman is a lot less expensive than an unhappy one.

New Investor, the bottom line is that you need to make a profit. You also have to experiment with different plans to attract business. Nothing will always work and what works this week, might be a flop, next week. Over the years, I found that things that worked in Seattle (a much bigger city)...

Couldn't have said it better, Chiefs. IMO, if you are under 50, you better start figuring out how to survive, the same or worse economic conditions for the next 10 years. If you are over 50, you better start worrying about surviving at all. What you have today, may be all that you will ever...

Jesus, Red, you think way too much. At best I'd assume that your wife is smarter than you, so I'd run any idea by her and if she agrees go for it. If you get some negative feedback then decide what to do about it. I had a message board for years and once a week put up some funny saying, never...

Another pathetic attempt by the Administration to get re-elected, things are only good for less than 90 days, God, give me a break.

That should help a lot. I assume you have copper too.

The math is pretty simple, calculating how many customers that you can lose and still be at the same point, with less wear and tear on your equipment and utilities. A long time ago when I changed the pricing options on the Forum, It affected 10 clients, I calculated that I could lose 7 of them...
