Tells the story of how we have arrived at thinking we need to fit in the box, kowtow to the emperor and follow the rules. Forget about it. You as a small business owner need to realize you own this show and if you will rise up embrace the trends. Buy local, be local, take care of local, know local and take advantage of the new technologies available and consider it an investment that you don’t look at as a return on investment but as a return on influence.  Enjoy this video I hope it earns your attention. Remember from a former posts forget what you think you know about marketing.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% sure. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

    hey i am a personal trainer and a picky eater. i am only 21 but my diet consists of plain pasta no sauce, cheese pizza, crumbed chicken by itself. i don’t eat any veggies at all and my mother is a vegan. my brother sister and father eat ne thing u put in front of them. i used to eat lots of take away such as maccas and kfc but found ordering a mcchicken burger with no lettuce and no mayo a tad bit embarrassing around my friends. i used to eat lollies chocolate cakes sweets etc and a lot of bread. wno that i’m a personal trainer i found it easy to eliminate the unhealthy stuff out of my diet but still can’t find enough goodness in the very few meals i can eat. it really makes me mad that i can’t eat other food. i try to try new things but i just stare at it on my plate and can’t put it to my mouth or if i do i have already decided i’m not going to like it and so i don’t .. does ne one know of ne way to cure it!

    I’ve had one of these press coffee mugs and have used it for about 5 years. The description says it keeps coffee warm for hours. This is not quite right. It will keep it drinkable for an hour.

  6. I thought WHO!! Were these people that they walked so far, it was the conflict of EXERCISE and smoking a cigarette then dumping the evidence. I was surely starting to over think all this BUTT STUFF! BUT NO!! it goes deeper,this is part of the problem, it may even be the start of it all.
