elsewhen returns: superman is clark kent

http://elsewhenreturns.blogspot.com/2015/04/superman-is-clark-kent.html

Monday, April 27, 2015. Superman is clark kent. From there, they could pull a photo or video of the hero in their civilian clothes from their phone or any of the millions of traffic cameras, which they could also use to tell where they were at any given time, because they have facial recognition software now, too. These are the things i think about when i walk my 10,000 steps. It's all about me. Hire me on linked in. Read me on amazon. Like me on facebook. Laugh at my useless factoids. Watch me on youtube.

BUSINESS FOR THE REST OF US. But piss on their kids. But why do so many seem to mess it all up by leaving the business to their kids? Leave them your business. Let's start with the obvious: You understand your business because you had to know everything. There wasn't anybody else. You know how to handle employees, what makes an effective marketing campaign, how to negotiate with vendors, and how to keep Customers coming back. From day one, they are raised in an environment of resentment. Just like you wo...

Work Iz War: Slosh

http://workizwar.blogspot.com/2015/03/slosh.html

BUSINESS FOR THE REST OF US. It's a bowl because the plate wasn't big enough. If your workplace is like most, everyone you know now does the equivalent of three jobs. They come in early, eat at their desk, and don't leave until it's dark (or, for some poor souls, just getting light). All of which is fine, fine. hire 5, work them like 10, pay them like 8, right? I know what your argument is going to be, and yes, it's going to be an argument: "But it's just 10 minutes," you'll say. "It will make us mor...

BUSINESS FOR THE REST OF US. Here's a rule that managers and employees must learn, regardless which department they belong to:. The amount of a manager's time (and the company's money) that any employee is entitled to is directly proportional to the amount of revenue that that employee creates or the amount of spend that that employee saves. First, half the reason that you need BD reps is that you lose Customers because they don't receive Customer for Life. Second, you are not looking for BD divas; you w...

BUSINESS FOR THE REST OF US. Once you’ve been on the job a little longer, though, you start to make assumptions about what Customers want, and that tendency only gets stronger over time. We think we can guess what Customers will say if we tell them that they need $800 worth of brake work, or assume they don’t want leather seats, or speculate about the state of their credit based on the clothes they wear. Slosh is what happens when you try to add something to a bowl that's already full to the brim. As...

BUSINESS FOR THE REST OF US. My entire career has been about moving pianos. I did actually used to move pianos, years ago, when my back was younger than any of me is now. What I learned then has informed my work process ever since. The only time I've failed is when I didn't pay attention to the rules of piano moving, which are as follows:. The Customer gets to pick the piano. Yes, you want a lamp - and a grandfather clock. The Customer decides where the piano goes - within limits. If so, let your Custome...

BUSINESS FOR THE REST OF US. You've worked long and hard, invested in the right people, done the right things, and you're ready to make your first strategic acquisition. Now is the time for due diligence. Are there other companies that would be a better fit? How many people do you need to keep? Do they have some people that are better than yours? Does it make sense to be redundant? How much will it cost to let people go? Make sure that you are in chrge of the layoff package - not the other company. You n...

Work Iz War: July 2014

http://workizwar.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html

BUSINESS FOR THE REST OF US. There are some employers in the United States today that don't offer employees paid time off (PTO), even if they're sick or there's a public holiday. Others restrict PTO to employees who have been with their organizations for 1 year or more. I understand the reasoning: "If an employee isn't producing, why pay them? Followed closely by: "They'll only take advantage of it.". There's just 1 problem with this line of reasoning: It's wrong. But really, do you really want. Think ab...
