If you're serious about strengthening customer loyalty, consider this management lesson I learned from an odd source - a car wash attendant. It's an easy customer service concept that may change the course of your business. This guy was amazing. I was speaking at a convention in Washington, D.C. My wife and I decided to rent a car to drive to the Civil War battle site at Gettysburg. Here's what happened as we entered the car-rental location to...more
No matter what type of business you own, you likely have specialists working there. If you have no employees, you are likely an expert at what you offer, since that is what helps make a successful company.If you specialize in sculpting, for example, you probably do not also juggle since that is not what you do best.

The Small Business Association (SBA) has done a lot for the growth of small businesses and is a reliable support for them. The SBA offers loans to finance small businesses that are unable to secure loans on reasonable terms from traditional financing sources.Small businesses were flourishing before the economic slump hit them. Consumer's disposable income was high, sales were up and businesses maintained optimum stock levels. Now, consumers are holding on to cash and businesses are stuck with their inventory. Money is required to continue operations, but is no longer forthcoming from customers. Many small businesses are getting SBA loans to stay afloat until times get better. However, the SBA does not have funds of its own. So, where does it get the money for the loans? That is where SBA loans can become risky for small business owners.Risk of SBA loans Funds lent out in the form of SBA loans are really being financed by banks. The SBA is only the originator and facilitator of the loan. This means that the SBA loan carries the same risks as a bank loan.Bank loans once lent have to be repaid and there is no chance for renegotiation. Banks are particularly tough now as they are...more

1. Deroticed girlsAs usual, people believe that squeezing children into school uniforms will prevent sexual abuse, rapes, etc.This kind of argument is similar to the one saying that "she provoked him and she is to blame". People who share this opinion should see on the Internet how great of an erotic fetishism the school uniform is for men! All the laughter from people who hear that argument will be the best evidence that what I have just written is very true. That is why I would firmly stick to that reaction.Unless you're going to persuade the ladies who don't get what you're talking about - they'll probably stare goggle-eyed at you with astonishment. The results on the Internet should open their eyes to that problem. It's also typical that in countries where uniforms are most popular - for example, Great Britain or Japan - they have the most erotic connotations.Evidence for that can be found in Google. If one looks for "school uniform" in Google, one will encounter pages presenting uniforms as erotic fetishism. Yet, once you insert "schoolgirl" or "school uniform" in Google, you'll be flooded by a great number of pornography sites!!!Summing up, if anyone believes that girls in...more
