There are those for sure. Separately I know of a 155 unit residential condo complex in Florida that is being torn down to build a high rise (resulting in 4x value to unit owners the market is so hot right now). But then there are these exa

Businesses will typically operate with the standards of what other businesses do wherever they are located. As such it could be out of the question to do it for another way other than whatever the legacy established standards are. So what w

"having hidden fees (tips) isn't the answer." Tips are not hidden fees. In fact if the tip isn't included as part of the charge it isn't even legally required to be paid either. "The amount the customers pay wo

"Pay your staff sufficient wages please." In theory means that expenses go up and restaurant then need to charge more on the menu which will in theory result in lower sales and profit (see my other comment).

"Just set the price higher to cover the wages!" For a few reasons. First the amounts won't end up nice and round at particular hot button price points. ($5 drinks all day!) [1] Second, the price will have to be displayed high

"If those 50 clients would be better served getting a different product from a different vendor, then why would you want to stop that?" Because you need to earn a living for one thing. And you won't keep your job for long as

You are talking about the "book of business" problem. I agree but I think there might be other legal (or see "know the customer yourself" below) ways to protect your clients. So while you can't prevent someone from

"many of us are in it for the money" I would guess that it's more than money though. It's also getting respect, attention, acquaintances, access and a pulpit that money buys. With that you can change the world. Sam has

From my experience people tend to parrot the mannerisms of people that they emulate and vice versa. Or maybe spend much time around. No time to find support for this but I'm sure there are numerous studies that say the same. Paul has

Excellent writeup but as long as the subject is marketing and memorability in names (and in particular domain names) kalzeumus (or is it kalzumeus) isn't the easiest name to remember for a blog or business. And it lends itself to many

That's part of the idea. You don't map anything out. You hit a button that says literally "get me a meeting now" but further you can give it an idea of the level of importance of the meeting you want "now". Usi

That's a bit different in that it requires you to map out specific times. And people's mood and availability changes for various reasons. Things come up. People need to cancel. Maybe a more important thing comes along. This actual
