So this guy's camel escapes while the family sleeps. The next day when he discovers the loss, he's very worried. That camel is everything. Without it, the guy could be wiped out completely. He'd lose his ability to get his goods from market to market. His business will fail.
So his friends see him anxiously walking around camp looking at the ground. "Abdul! What are you looking for?" asks a friend. "A rope," replies Abdul. "A ... >>full...
[ Posted bymichael cardus, March 06, 2010 9:32 ] Interesting story - this is a struggle.
How do you find the camel?
wouldn't the rope be an indicator of the camel location.
Okay, first take a look at the napkin art. Then read the thinking below.
Last week a guy called me about working for him on a "sure thing". This new product is going to blast off. As soon as he starts producing these things, which is going to require significant capital investment, they will sell as fast he can produce them.
He needed me to: 1. Make a business plan 2. Raise money 3. Set up a website 4. Do ...
The U.S. is pumping billions of dollars into a struggling economy to save sinking businesses that have failed to keep pace with world-wide changes.
Do we need to 'save' GM or should we let the pieces go to the highest bidders? Those with the capital to buy up the failing businesses could start new ventures.
We need new ideas, new services and new products for a permanently changed economy. We spend, waste, far too much money ... >>full...
Chrysler is terminating contracts with nearly 800 dealers. GM is considering booting 1,100 dealers from their flock. So what? Do we need car dealers? No.
There was never a time when the car salesman had a good reputation. Think of an item people hate to buy and a car will be the first thing that comes to mind just ahead of a root canal. Buying a new car should be fun. It's a huge investment but ... >>full...
There are two reasons we are in a recession. Yes, I know, it's a global problem, complex, credit collapse, housing issues, blah blah blah. Smoke screen. There are two reasons.
Reason one. Our country has been in serious ethical decline since Nixon. Johnson had his quirks but he wasn't a blatant crook. Nixon was. Most of our corporations are run by greedy, crooked and incompetent CEOs. Yes, most. If you don't believe that, let's eliminate food ... >>full...
We're near the end of 2008. The country and the world are in serious recession. Sales are falling. Foreclosures continue to rise. Thousands of people are losing work. Businesses are failing. Stimulus failed. Bailout failed. The country is stuck in a two-front, stupid war. (A war on terrorism is about as smart as the 30 year old war on drugs)
Still, we continue drive forward by looking in the rear view mirror. ... >>full...
See If You Can Watch This and Keep Your Lunch Down
As a business improvement consultant, this makes me sick.
Shame on Ford, GM & Chrysler management. Shame. Shame. Shame.
Bail them out? Sure, on condition that the entire upper management of all three companies is canned with no further bonuses, golden parachutes, stock options or any other perks. Give the whole lot pink slips and a month's pay at the average salary of those they laid off.
[ Posted bymichael cardus, November 20, 2008 8:09 ] As I also watch these big 3asking for a handout, I am begining to see why it was a bad idea to offer these bailouts.
These Big 3 asking for bailouts - imagine if the horse drawn carriage industry was asking for a government bailout because the auto industry was bankrupting them. If we followed this bailout process for all the industrys in the past and future that need a bailout because their product is becoming endangered - due to their own lack of insight - America will become stagnant and innovation will cease.
