    Look at: - drive by traffic - view from road - Target demographic And it's clear that #1 is better.

    I've cancelled my sub until there is more to do. We've been capped in t4 too long, and I'm bored.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I'm about half way through the loan, and am looking at potentially restructuring the loan. I still owe 400k on the business, currently about 5k a month is going to reducing principal. Keep in mind that debt payments get added into the discretionary income number. I want to get to the point...

    They are playing pretty poorly for a team whose lead in the division is a one game. WTH?

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I'm calculating that my discretionary income for 2012 will be 190-200k, on sales of 560k (with eight operating days left this year). I can't wait for some of the new advertising initiatives I have going for 2012 to kick in. I want to get back to the old days, where the business was a license...

    Its completely soured our relationship. He hasn't had the balls to call me directly. He'll either call my Manager or Secretary, or have one of his employees call me. He knows it's screwed up.

    So I haven't logged on in three weeks, and found out today my league has merged with another league, due to low attendance. Apparently, I'm not the only guy that's bored witless. Good going SOE on keeping us in t4 for ten months, with no end in sight. All we know is that t5 is next year. Why...

    Legal Advice: Poorly Repaired Equipment

    It's not something you want to rush through. The truck needs to be taken apart and put back together. The grapple seems like it's a ton, and you can't fortify the frame with a ton sitting on it. Then it needs to be put back together again. Both guys took two weeks each time they had it...

    He said his weld would fix the problem. He then kept the vehicle in the shop for almost two months trying to fix the weld, because he thought that would fix the problem. And it turns out, instead of a six inch long plate, the plate needed to be six feet long. This fix was what was recommended...

    That's a lot of text. Anyway, I used to be like her. I tested with a high IQ at a young age, and school to me was a joke. I'm the type of person that if you tell me something once, I've got it. I hated that class had to be slowed down for the kids that needed something repeated to them 20...

    Legal Advice: Poorly Repaired Equipment

    I paid the first guy $2,500 for the first fix. That's because it wasn't cracking and lasted a year. The second fix (which turned into two more fixes), I didn't pay him because his weld started cracking the first day out of the shop. The other guy, who I paid 5k, instead of putting in a piece...

    I'm numb to stealing any more. I took the advice of one of the wealthiest businessmen I've ever known on stealing. He told me it's going to happen, don't take it personally. Just limit your damage, cut it off and move on. I used to get butthurt over this, I don't now. I hope he enjoys what...

    My Manager was out laying out door hangers in the neighborhood. In the Winter, when we are working, we sometimes put out door hangers at homes where we see people need work. This is in between calls for estimates. My Manager looked up, and saw him walking off of the job, followed him, and saw...

    Trademarking Your Business: Anyone Done It?

    As I understand it, regarding #1, you might get a name close to it, but could have a judge force them to change the name, if it's close to the trademarked name. Where are resident Rerolled lawyers when you need them?

    Trademarking Your Business: Anyone Done It?

    So, the reason why this is coming up, is because a friend of mine in another city (but same industry), had a new company pop up with a like name. His name was AAA Service, the other guy's name was AAA Discount Service. Customers got confused, and as my friend had been in business for 15 years...

    Legal Advice: Poorly Repaired Equipment

    Mind you, when I say "it" started cracking, it was his weld that was cracking through the middle. I got nervous when he started denying his weld was cracking, when it clearly was. My stance is that he was supposed to be competent, but I had four other companies say his fix was not the right...

    Legal Advice: Poorly Repaired Equipment

    OK, so I have a Grapple Truck I use in the business. Last year, the frame started cracking. We have days where we are picking up 3-5 tons of debris, there is a lot of wear and tear. My normal mechanic said he could fix it for $2,500, through welding. So: 1- Last Summer, we had it...

    It is frustrating. I lose money on them in the Winter when other owners layoff. I don't cheat them (but other owners do). One of my biggest competitors regularly pulls $200 out of his workers' weekly check whenever he feels their check is too high. I pay 30% more, bare minimum. I treat them...

    Nice. Just caught an employee going offsite to bid a job from a neighbor asking for a bid. He was bidding a side job against the company. I'll let him finish out the day and then fire him.

    The Superman Question

    You do know that Superman has a super intellect, right? What's 30 points of IQ to an eighth level intellect? You guys would know this if you ever picked up a comic book. Also, Superman has a healing factor like Wolverine's, meaning his digits would grow back. This is a retarded poll.

    Thank you Draegan, Goodbye FOH

    Because all you had to do was to click the user name and see that it was a bot. There was no join date for the bots, or any other data. It was just a screen asking you to pay $25 to join. Is it really smart to let current and past customers see your bots all exposed like that?

    I was thinking it would be more dramatic for him to end with, "Fuck you all!" But he said that a few days ago, that would be a little redundant.

    Last year, I spent 4-5k a month. I'm increasing advertising as a whole to keep working every day. But the long term goal is that sales have increased 50% since I grew the budget, and I want to grown another 25% next year. The previous owner only relied on word of mouth, which is great, but...

    Thank you Draegan, Goodbye FOH

    It's more than fudging a resume. You could seriously get ass raped in court if you sold a company fake traffic and told them that they equated to sales. You can't leave proof of that, it's like leaving a murder weapon at the scene of a crime with your prints on it. If you ever read the...
