I have a degree...Stupid, fucking, greedy bastards.<br /><br />I have a degree in business. I can sum up what I learned thusly:<br /><br />Consumer Behavior: Understand who your target audience is, what their expectations are, and expand upon that to understand your core consumer.<br /><br />Marketing: Don't piss off your target audience. If it weren't for them, you would not be in business. It's not all about you, it's a two-way street.<br /><br />Finance/Accounting: Always make a profit, but make a wise profit. Don't over-reach and screw yourself long term or alienate said target audience that is your bread and butter just to line your own fat wallet.<br /><br />Management: Make sure you don't hire idiots who don't understand the above to run your business. Hello, Randy Levine.<br /><br />But even better advice comes from my sister, Marian, who is a real estate agent, which is this: "If the house isn't fucked up to begin with, then don't move for a perceived upgrade."ditmars1929noreply@blogger.com
