Brick & Mortar? Boy, What Were You Thinking?
by Tim Knox
When I was a kid there were five words I heard more than all others combined. Usually coming from my father, they were, “Boy, what were you thinking?” Those words typically came after he caught me doing something I shouldn’t have been or more often, after talking my younger brother into doing something really stupid that could have – but never did – end in his demise. I hadn’t heard those words in many years (at least since my younger brother got taller than me). And I haven’t really missed hearing them (no sentimentality there). But a recent business venture of mine had everyone I know asking, “Man, what were you thinking?” Read more

Many of you are asking about how to market new products or inventions. Here are a couple of new patents. (1) Earrings that flash in sync with the wearer’s heartbeats - you’ll be able to tell if she’s happy to see you. Pat. # 6,277,079.

VASELINE FOR BREAKFAST?
by Dan Miller
At 22, Robert Chesebrough had already failed in his first business. Then some oil rig friends told him about a sticky oil by-product called rod wax. It jammed their drills but seemed to have magical healing powers. Chesebrough experimented in his basement laboratory by cutting and burning his arms and hands. He extracted the wax’s essential ingredient, a colorless, odorless jelly, slathering it on his wounds. He called it Vaseline and began selling it in one-ounce tins for a penny each. Read more

How To Really Get The Competitive Advantage
by Tim Knox
One of the cool things about being an entrepreneur and business author and speaker is that I get to use all kinds of big words and phrases that make me sound much smarter than I am. For example, just saying the word “entrepreneur” makes me sound quite educated and continental, despite the fact that the only subject in school I failed miserably was French. After an entire school year the only thing I learned to say was, “Mon professeur est un porc de verrue, “ which loosely translated means, “My teacher is a wart hog.” You can see why I got “la F.”

Beware The Lofty Promises Of MLM
by Dan Miller
If you breathe and live in America, you have probably been approached by someone in an attempt to get you into a multilevel marketing company. You know the routine. Buy this stuff, describe it to three of your friends, who incidentally will beg you for it because this is the revolutionary pill everyone has been waiting for, and in 6 months you will be making $20,000 a month and never have to work again. Now, I know many people are looking for ways to be more in control of their lives and time and MLM offers that, but just as there are a lot of mismatches in regular jobs, there are many mismatches in the MLM arena.

Use Email Marketing To Keep Customers Buzzing About Your Business
by Tim Knox
The other day my radio show cohost, Paul Finley, mentioned that he had received an email from his dentist. The point of the email was to let Paul know that his office would be closed for a week and included instructions on what to do in case of a dental emergency. Obviously Paul’s dentist reads my column because I’ve been preaching about using email to keep in touch with customers for years. OK, maybe he doesn’t read my column and is just a brilliant guy in his own right. Either way, the point is clear: using email - no matter what type of business you’re in - is an excellent way to keep the lines of communication buzzing between you and those folks who keep you in business.
