Even the Grinch Can Teach Us Something About Business
So today we are looking at lesson two for business advice from a holiday movie, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”. This Dr. Seuss' original book was made into a movie twice, once in 1966 and then again in 2000 with Jim Carrey.
If you haven’t seen the 2000 version it's pretty funny. Here is an overview. So the Grinch (played Jim Carrie) hates Christmas and he hates the Whos (there is some history behind this). On the other side of this story we have the sweet and lovable residents of Whoville, who adore Christmas – but they have lost sight of the true meaning. So this Christmas, the Grinch, accompanied by his dog, Max, steal all their presents and decorations so he can get his revenge.
How Buddy the Elf Can Teach Us Enthusiasm
This time of the year I love to sit and watch some of the classic holiday movies. It’s part of my holiday tradition. It made me think about how some of these movies relate to business. For instance, take a six-foot tall adopted elf named Buddy (played by Will Ferrell) who wants to find his birth father, make that father the grumpy James Caan, and throw them together in the midst of New York City and see what happens.
Diversify Your Marketing
Many business owners will tell you that they experience a lot of fluctuation throughout the year. Some months will have higher profits than other months, there will be an increase in demand for a particular type of product or service one month, and then the next month a different type of product will be in demand.
Researching Your Niche Is Vital
Niche marketing is one way to increase your business profits. If done right, it will open up a new area of products and/or services that will benefit you as well as your customers. However, before diving right in, don’t forget to do your homework.
Why Do I Need to Brand My Products?

Ambition and Determination Can Help Businesses Succeed
Success in business takes determination. One must be motivated and willing to work hard in order to get a business going strong. Ambition is one of the key factors in how quickly and how much a business will grow.
Marketing Mistakes
Business is a combination of talent and hard work. The talent can only take you so far, so begin by doing your homework. Every business benefits from advertising in some form or another.
The Importance of Following-Up
It’s become an old saying for good a reason: it’s true. Following up with customers and clients can be one of the most important business actions a business owner can take. I believe it's an essential key to success that once mastered will bring you awesome results.
