Good Ideas

Our subconscious is always working on our problems and developing solutions. It's also coming up with new ideas. New ideas for possible opportunities, better business methods, etc. No matter how good an idea is, if we don't write it down, we tend to forget it.

There are a number of ways to store these ideas once they come to us. For me, the easiest is the note feature on an iphone. You can also physically write the ideas down on paper, voice record the idea, etc.

Whatever your preferred method, it is good to be in the habit of keeping an idea log.

Which Vendor Opportunity Is Right For My Business?

As we all know, there are many community events that are open to artists, food vendors, and businesses of all kinds.  It is important to choose the right event, one that will be the most beneficial to your business. As a food vendor, events centered around entertainment are usually easy money. Concerts, fairs, carnivals, craft shows, sporting events, things of this nature.  People are having a good time. Everyone always wants to eat good food that is convenient, right? As a consumer, I look forward to eating at new and different food trucks.  And, right now, food trucks are especially popular.  Events that are more professional or less casual probably don't offer spaces to food vendors, but if they did, I would imagine it would not be a worthwhile event.  With regard to the entertainment centered events, artists and makers would do better to devote their time to a different type of event.  People don't want to carry a $150 painting into a concert or fo...

Millenial Trends

By clicking the link below, you will be directed to an article in which a millennial expresses how he  believes older generations view millennials. https://www.inc.com/nicolas-cole/7-traits-older-generations-dont-understand-about-millennials-written-by-a-millen.html The first trend is self-confidence. Millennials seem to be arrogant in the eyes of older generations. I would have to agree with this one. Far too many millennials think they know it all and have all of the answers. Unfortunately, in my opinion, most haven't gone through enough lesson learning experiences. Hopefully, more millennials will humble themselves and realize they don't know it all - and that that is okay! Secondly, millennials have a stronger desire to travel.  I don't know if this is necessarily a generational thing. Many people from many generations love to travel. I think in today's world of travel there is so much more to do and so many more new, adventurous place to eat. I will agree tha...

The Experience Economy

Walt Disney is a classic example of someone who took an activity and turned it into an experience. He made the idea and the adventure of going to a theme park a complete magical experience.  I think a full tour guide experience would be great. I'm sure it has been done before, but you can really expand with a tour. Rather than just taking a boring drive about the city with a guy repeating the same old mundane rubric, what if you had "characters" and activities along the route. These characters would explain the city's history throughout different time periods as the city evolved, dressed and accented according to each period. Maybe some of the characters could be famous people that grew up there. Maybe you can stop at certain points and watch someone make candy, squish a penny, take a picture by the city's oldest tree, etc. Maybe you offer treats and what not that the city is known for. You could even do this with a train! I just recently looked in a fall f...
