I'm looking to sell my business in twenty or so years. Besides the obvious fact that it may not even resemble what it does today, how should I begin preparing? In addition to good customer relationships, service and product offerings, I keep good financial records and am in the process of...

Looks like something from LHF (Letterhead Fonts) JB

:banghead: Never would have guessed this could turn into a 3-ring circus...

I'm startin' over on a new thread for next week's update... JB

Wow...how much experience do you presently have applying vinyl? Sounds to me like you're getting set up for a rock and a hard spot. JB

Yep...that reminds me. If you have some old computers laying around, pull the hard drives and put them in a case. I use an I/O Magic case, but there are quite a few others out there. Open the case, drop in the hard drive, plug it in, close the case and plug it into the PC. It's that easy.

I have a Canon laser printer for the office and it's telling me that it's hungry for more toner. I don't really feel like I'm ready to pony up $100 just yet. Where do you get your OEM (preferred) laser toner? Any suggestions for reputable aftermarket toner is also welcomed. I'm...

I have four drives that I rotate on a regular basis. Back up early, and back up often. JB

Thanks for the encouragement. Like anything else, you only get out of it what you put into it. Nothing magical, and no shortcuts...just old fashioned hard work. On another note, it looks like I got a slight arse flaming, but I'm still going to post updates each week. Give me a shout if I...

Very true, but this is education that is tailor made for our individual businesses. We're obviously not a bunch of college seniors sitting around waiting to set the world on fire. It's all about solving real-world problems (note the blurb about "battle stories"). Approx. 90% is sponsored...

Even though the initial out of pocket cost was $100, I still have modest travel expenses and opportunity cost (lost labor time). Sure, I can write off those costs, but even more importantly, I see continuing education as an investment...in my skills...and ultimately in the value of my...

I remember watching my old boss on the telephone one day doing something similar. A job seeker called to ask if were hiring, and the boss simply said "no" and then politely hung up. The boss told me that even if he had been looking for help, he wouldn't have hired the schmuck since he...

Congratulations, now I'm one post closer to mine. Thanks for the insight you give. JB

A few weeks ago, I had mentioned the Kaufmann Foundation's FastTrac Growth Venture classes that were being offered in our community. Basically, Growth Venture is designed for current business owners who desire a better understanding of their business in preparation for future growth or...

Barry....where are the pictures? JB

Just goes to prove that you can't fix stupid. Sucks to be somebody that bought a hot one and didn't know it. JB

The original owner was a university, and from what I can remember about my college days, everything was tied down. Obviously, it's not going to stop a die-hard thief, but it does slow them down a little and makes it a tad bit harder for them. When I used to teach high school, the newly...

Just got an email for the NBM show in Indy and this was one of the vendors who will be attending. Anybody see one of these yet? http://www.jade.dti.ne.jp/~lac/var/index.html JB

I use a cocktail of Adobe Illustrator, AutoCAD & SignLab JB

I bought my Gerber GS15 used a few years ago and it came with this metal bracket on one side. What the heck is it? The top loop has about a 1/2" inside diameter. Perhaps something that a "security" cable might have been run through???? JB
