I think it is hilarious that Warner Bros think it can increase DVD sales by getting Redbox & Netflix to delay rentals for 28 days. Their logic is flawed. People who rent videos and are opposed to buying them will just wait or download them online illegally. It is unfortunate that Netflix & Redbox cave in to huge corporations like Warner but I guess I understand why.

There is plenty of free & legal content to view online to tide people over for 28 days by the way.

It is hard for most people to imagine starting a business with ZERO debt. It is just a given to most folks that you need to borrow some money to get rolling. That sounds ok but it creates a habit of borrowing to keep rolling. The thought of needing new equipment immediately goes to using a credit card or going to the bank for bigger purchases. I had this thought for many years as well. But it does not have to be this way.

If you eliminate the thought in your mind that borrowing is even a possibility you instantly get more creative in ways to save the money up to pay for business needs. Debt is easy short term but not easy long term. At best debt is just a cycle that eats your money every week for the rest of your days on Earth. At worst debt becomes your master that crushes you, your business, and your goals.

It is possible to run a great business with no Debt. Apple does it and they are one of the greatest companies in the world. Dave Ramsey does it with his company. By the way, Dave is the radio guy that got me started on a quest to be debt free.

If you have great discipline then you can likely handle debt and use it as a tool. Just be careful with it. It is a dangerous servant and a terrible master. Just know that there are other ways to run a business other than constant debt.

Got an old pc or laptop that is so slow that it is useless? Likely it has outlived its Windows Operating System. But the computer can possibly be revived with a linux operating system. Puppy Linux & Ubuntu are versions of linux that are available for free and they do anything that a windows computer does.You can download the software for free and burn it to a cd and run it on the computer to see if you like it without installing it. The process is easier than it sounds and if your old computer is useless anyway you won’t hurt anything trying.

If you need help with an old pc contact me. I’ll be glad to install linux for you for $50. You must live within 20 miles of zip code 30558.

With a facebook fan page you can connect your restaurant business with customers and new potential customers. Here are 5 ways to promote your  dining establishment on facebook. Use your imagination and figure out what works best for your local area.

1. Post daily lunch specials (obvious one)
2. Post a joke of the day.
3. post quote of the day.
4. Do an online trivia contest online for a time when many customers may be on facebook. Just post a question & let friends answer in the comment section. Offer a free lunch for winner.
5. Post events on facebook. Example is local Bar / Grill showing a Pay Per View UFC fight or Boxing match.
