THE RAMBLING'S OF THE EDITOR

WHY I OPERATE A HOME-BASED BUSINESS
I can either tell you the short or long version, I'll do both, 
I think I'll tell you the short version first, since I can do that in 
one word "FREEDOM"...
Now to the long version. This is a dream I've had since high 
school, I guess it's because I didn't like school. Don't get 
me wrong I'm all for education, it's just that I don't like 
getting up before noon.  <---Stands For Grin
You see I wanted and cherished my freedom at a early age, you 
may be saying yea but what do this have to do with operating a 
business form home? I'd say "EVERYTHING", you see I don't think 
no one can be successful at what they do unless they like what 
they are doing, and operating a home based business allow you 
the freedom work when you please, and how you please. You can't 
ask for more freedom than that, can you?
Did you get it? If not reread...
Customer Service What's Happening To It?
Have you noticed a deterioration in the caliber of sales clerk's 
in some of the large chain stores? I'm not going to mention 
names but to me I'd say everyone on your staff or payroll for 
that matter, should have some form of training in 
customer service. Maybe it's me but when you run a business the 
customer/client concerns is job one. That is if repeat business 
is one of your main concerns. As I said, I'm not naming 
names but last month so-in-so lost a customer and a $6,000 sale
with the prospect of future sales of equal amounts, just 
because the clerk would much rather talk to a friend 
on the "Company" phone.
Are You A Prospector Or Miner?
I consider there are two types of business operators. Prospector's 
and Miner's, I fall in the prospector's category. Prospectors  
formulate plans on how they are going to discovery new client. 
Miners dig at the same area with no thought of hitting pay dirt. 
Hehehe...
