    Where did intentional iteration go?

    RANT 
    I understand that, because it concerns me too. However, I've worked in a great environment before, only to see it destroyed by new management. I believe it can be done and I look forward to the challenge. I am willing to find the best people I can possibly find and build an environment that...

    Where did intentional iteration go?

    RANT 
    Intentional Iteration is in the same quiet corner as physical products. (BTW, the "Invention & Innovation" section of the forum has about 60% the number of threads in "Franchising & B&M".) I asked the same question upon my arrival at this forum and found MJ's comments to be "spot on", then &...

    Treat Every Customer Like Your Only Customer

    PEOPLE 
    Sadly, I'd guess that we all have stories like this. I know I do. It's so common to get absolutely terrible treatment from customer service, that the truly excellent service really stands out. This reminds me just how important it is to find/hire good people to work with, and not just a butt in...

    NASA Scientist Warns "California Has One Year Of Water Left"

    One solution to this is so incredibly simple, that I'm surprised no on has mentioned it yet. Supply & Demand! Simply let the open market set the price for water instead of the state & local gov. Those that want to pay a high price per gallon to live in CA will stay, and those that don't want...

    Dealing With Customers Pissed Off Over Delayed Shipments?

    PEOPLE 
    Have you conveyed the problem to the drop shipper? If they don't know there is a problem, what is their motivation to improve? If they don't improve after you've reviewed this with them, then may be your next option. Good luck.

    What did you learn in college?

    HOT! 
    I learned enough to just get in the door of a mid level slowlane career. All that piece of paper did was get me thru the door on the first day, but without that piece of paper the chances of starting in engineering would be slim. Everything else was "on the job" training. So once thru the door...

    Rigged For The Rich?

    HOT! 
    Yes indeed...the system is rigged!!! The system is rigged in favor of those who contribute the least. If the system were not rigged, the least productive in the USA would be living a 3rd world existence. The stereotypical union member would either be out of a job or making $10/hr, and those who...

    Compensating LONG SHIPPING TIMES. Is it even possible?

    Solution: 1) Buy crystal ball. Preferably used, so it has had some experience. 2) Use crystal ball to predict next week's orders. 3) Order next week's items from you offshore supplier. Problem solved!:tiphat:

    23, depressed, fired, now hustling

    INTRO 
    That is an extremely quick termination. I fear it should set off a warning light in the back of your mind! While it might be nice to be out of there...In your shoes, I'd be asking myself: What did they want from me that I wasn't providing? Was the thing/attitude/output that they wanted within...

    Picking an Idea and sticking with it.

    IDEA 
    My opinion is as follows: if the skill is going to part of my core competency (either short term or long term) then I need to learn it. If it is not, then it can be outsourced. Examples, as a mfg of physical products: Preparing my taxes is not part of my core competency (it has nothing to do...

    Picking an Idea and sticking with it.

    IDEA 
    Hi @Trud09, In another post you mention that you've now read the book, so perhaps you could review & apply the following and see if either method helps you better understand your options: Worst Case Analysis Weighted Average Decision Matrix

    If you need cash fast, I'd recommend a JOB in the area of your skill or experience. Entrepreneurship hasn't come to me fast, nor yet flush with cash. Good luck and Godspeed.
