Lesson #2: Grab a Partner and Go
Orfalea recalls the way in which he first came up with his idea for Kinko’s: “It was an easy business…My dad made women’s clothing, and he had all this inventory to worry about. So I thought, this inventory thing is bad news. I don’t want anything to do with it. With a Xerox machine, I can dial a button and what comes out the end I can sell.

BOOK REVIEW: Mindset: The New Psychology of Success (By Carol S. Dweck, Random House, 2006 ISBN #1-4000-6275-6)

Thinking of Starting a Vending Machine Business? Here are Some Tips from an Expert and a Solution to Your Problems.
Vending machine expert gives tips and advice to those preparing to start their own vending machine business. Learn from someone’s mistakes to avoid your own.

Are you Reactive or Pro-active
Are you making things happen or are you watching things happen? Are you taking control of your life or are you watching it go right by you? These are the questions that we have to ask ourselves, this day and everyday. I hope you all know what a pinball machine is. I know it is old school but I still see them around in most arcades. In a pinball machine you have a little silver ball that gets shot up into the machine. It then gets bounced from one bumper to the next, it gets pushed. Then it gets flipped from one side to the other, it goes crazy. Just reacting to all that is happening to it. And then finally just falling down into the hole, only to start the process all over again. How about you? Do you feel like that pinball? Are you reactive or proactive?

As he was wiping the dust away and inspecting the old contraption, he found a few pieces of yellowed paper in a cracked leather pouch. He chuckled softly to himself when he pulled them out and found they were entitled "Operating Instructions for The Perpetual Money Machine."
Is Your Business Thinking the “Right” Way?
Most companies traditionally view their bottom line as a statistical or numerical value. They typically measure success based on quantitative data like sales, while qualitative data like documents or words (while useful), are not generally what CEO’s are looking for. But what if this focus on the analytic was not only insufficient but potentially outdated? Spearheaded by the success of Xerox’s holistic approach to service documentation, a new focus on “right brain thinking” (and what it means for the future of business) is on the horizon.

Healthy is the New Trend in Vending Franchises
Vending franchises have always been a solid business opportunity, whether it be for the first time entrepreneur or seasoned investor. Like any business model, the vending machine franchise success depends on the ability to adapt to the changing tastes and spending habits of today's consumer. As healthy eating becomes more of a lasting routine and less of a fleeting trend, many very successful vending machine franchises are shifting their sales and changing out the usual vending machine food with healthier products.
