The Good CEO: The Early Years of Costco's Jim Sinegal

In Holiday Shopping, There’s No Substitute for Victory
Coming off a less than booming sales year, Black Friday probably scares today's online, mass merchants, electronics retailers, warehouse clubs more than ghosts and goblins. They're determined to have a good 4th quarter sellng period. So are the manufacturers. Bundles, specials, deals for consumers not just in the U.S. but around the globe. Black Friday is the most widely searched term this time of year...everywhere. Start your search/research online. Check for the online flyers, specials, coupons. Take your smartphone and barcode app with you to double check you're getting the best deal. Show the sales team if there's a better price elsewhere. They'll "work with you!"

A Report from the Medinge Group Meeting in Amsterdam, January 15-17, 2004
A Minute A Day…
It’s that time of year again - time to set our goals. For some reason we all think that January is the time to start fresh, to once and for all be the things we want to be and achieve all the things we want to have. We make our New Year’s resolutions, we promise to do things better, to turn over a new leaf. The winter air carries countless promises of losing weight, making money and being better friends/parents/spouses. It all sounds so good. So why are we so bad at making it happen? Let’s face it- by the end of January most of us have already abandoned our goals as mere pipe dreams and we shrug them off with a mental note to do better next year.

Which Industries hold most promise in 2009
The January issue of Entrepreneur Magazine is out on the news stands and for those who have never read the magazine, January issue is dedicated to the Franchise industry. In this issue, there is an article (see link on my web site under News and Articles) that talks about the Magazine's predictions for Franchise Industries that hold the most promise for growth and stability in 2009.

Now I am not saying that I am the smartest man alive, but it is comforting to know that the experts agree with my views and that I am on the right track. There have also been plenty of talk about how Franchise ow
NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS IN SEPTEMBER
Forget about New Years Resolutions in January, they don’t work! You’re wasting your time! September is the best time to set New Year’s Resolutions. Crazy idea, perhaps you disagree? Then answer this question; “why is it that most people who make them and seem quite serious about it, never really follow through and keep them?” A very good question don’t you think. I have addressed this issue before but on both occasions it was in January. Maybe now is a better time to take a different tact and initiate some thought, discussion and/or action around the idea.
