Market Like You Mean It

I just found this clip again while surfing my favorite videos. It’s a few years old but with the resurrection of the Transformers, it seems like a good time to share it again.

UPDATE: I’m now able to load videos in here. Here’s the clip.

Most people think a business plan is for small companies who are trying to get funding, but a business plan is primarily just that…a plan. It’s a map for you…the owner or manager. It will help you to visualize where your company is headed in great detail and work out any kinks before they really become kinks.

Anyone who has ever actually created a business plan before knows that it’s actually a very enlightening experience. If you thought you knew your business…try explaining it in writing. Suddenly you’ll realize that your anticipated cash flow is much less — or maybe more — than you expected.

If you need a boost getting started, check out Carolyn’s article over at the Hundred Dollar Business about the essentials of a business plan. BPlans.com might also give you some inspiration (i.e. - templates).

If you’re bored and looking for something to do, check out this new take on Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”.

I just found out about two very excellent websites today.

JungleCrazy.com is a website dedicated to helping people find incredible deals on Amazon.com. They don’t include anything in their database unless it’s at least 70% off so there’s nothing but groovy discounts.

RetailMeNot.com is a great resources that gives savvy shoppers access to coupon codes at all the most popular e-commerce sites.

Check ‘em out. Save dinero. Send some to me.
