Business 101 – The Basics

The Prime Directive of Business My first business adventure started with my little red wagon when I was about 11 years old.  In the summer, my dad would buy fresh vegetables from farmers and I’d load up my wagon and pull it around the neighborhood  -- “Fresh Vegetable’s, Fresh from the fields”, I’d say.  Hardly a Fortune 500 endeavor, but the essence of entrepreneurship, I’ve got something you want, and when you buy it I make money. I think of those days often, and the lessons I learned as a teenager.  And what was that all important lesson?  As a mentor would later say to me, it was simple, “Nothing happens until you sell ...

Selling A Business

  “Yep, I’ll sell my business for the right price, if someone offers me enough money” How many times have I heard that statement……  a lot, heck I’ve even said it.  But that’s not a strategy to maximize the value of your business, nor is it a solid strategy to get those millions of dollars into your checking account.  Selling your business takes effort, preparation, and serious planning.

Oil Prices Tumble; South Louisiana Businesses Should Be Prepared

GAS PRICES BELOW $2.OO PER GALLON!!!!!!!   Consumers are celebrating……  but there is a cloud on the horizon.  For South Louisiana businesses and residents, the future could be very challenging. Let’s review a bit of history, flash back to the mid 80’s.  Massive layoffs, declining real estate values, businesses folding, and a mass exodus of people leaving the state for employment.  And then the BP Disaster that shut down oil production that really didn’t devastate the economy.  Some might say, well the state’s economy isn’t as dependent on the oil industry as it was in the 80’s.  WRONG, don’t forget that BP paid out ...
