Last\u00a0Friday I needed to get rid of a load of boxes, so I decided to burn them.<\/p>\n
As I burned them I realised what a bad idea it was.<\/p>\n
It wasn’t the\u00a0giant flames<\/em>\u00a0leaping out of the fire pit that got me concerned.<\/p>\n Nor the smoke which, if the wind had changed, could have\u00a0blown into the neighbours.<\/p>\n What actually tipped me off to the bad idea was the\u00a0Vesuvius sized pieces of ash blowing up from the fire!<\/strong><\/p>\n That was when I thought I should\u00a0probably have not done\u00a0burnt quite that amount\u00a0of cardboard.<\/p>\n Hey ho…\u00a0all was well and I got rid of a load of cardboard.<\/p>\n Anyway, on to today’s\u00a0best stories from the world of\u00a0business and entreneurialism.<\/p>\n Ciao,<\/p>\n Michael<\/p>\n This is a short\u00a0blog post fropm Seth Godin, but I strongly recommend everyone reads it.<\/p>\n Like most of his content, it’s simple and to the point.<\/p>\n You don’t\u00a0have to have pages of content to make\u00a0something valid.<\/p>\n Check it out here.<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Every brand needs new customers.<\/p>\n Those of you who have been in business for a while may be doing fine generating high sales from your existing customers.<\/p>\n But that business model isn\u2019t sustainable forever.
