I was listening to my favorite morning show the other day and they were complaining about the “commercials” now before the start of the movies. It’s amazing how times have changed.
We haven’t been to a movie since the 80s, when we saw Rocky II...

When we grew up we had falls, got bruises, got knocked down. There were disappointments, rejections, controversies, and things that we just weren’t allowed to do. We had respect for those older than us.

Summer always brings back memories for me of bbq’s, the ocean, Coney Island, Palisades Park, neighborhood and family get togethers. However, most of all, I think of all the fun the drive-in movies used to bring from childhood to adulthood.

Whether you realize it or not there is a large portion of people in this country who are entering “The Pool of Quiet Discontent”. As I heard so eloquently said on the morning radio program I listen to “keep your head down, don’t make eye contact, ...

I was wondering the other day whatever happened to common courtesy, making a commitment to something or someone and actually following through and just plain old fashioned common sense.

Is your boss incapable of delegating duties to you without standing over you at every turn? If you answered yes to this, you are not alone. Unfortunately so many bosses today are afraid to relinquish control and let someone else do some of the work. It is...

Many small and home based business owners I know are control freaks. Now in their defense, it’s because they wear many hats. They started the business and took care of it all, that is how the saying “the business owner wears many hats” came about. H...

We have lost quite a bit over the years. The milk man, who used to deliver milk, butter to our homes and put them in the metal box by our front door or in many instances would knock, walk in (we didn’t need to be as paranoid back then) and give it to my...

We were watching the news the other night and couldn’t believe it when they did a story on Express Monopoly. Yes, you did read that right, Express Monopoly. Apparently families can’t take the time for a full game night anymore, plus we are told that t...

We have all seen a rose bush. That beautiful rose, all closed up. We are waiting for it to open up, watch it blossom and grow.
When I saw one the other day, it started me thinking. That roses are like many new businesses. A new business starts out as ...

For all of us running our own business we have come across disgruntled customers and most of us employ the philosophy that “the customer is always right”. Well what about when the customer isn’t right, or the customer says one thing and does another...
