Not to beat a dead horse, but, I Googled myself the other day and found a bit that I submitted to some newspaper in June of 2006 wherein I talked about the impending disaster. I mention this because, now that it's here, I have no one to blame but myself for helping to start a new business in this environment.
I tend to look for immediate gratification and in the retail business, you don't always get it ... or anything even close. So, like any good cancerian, I need to blame someone else. I choose, THE MEDIA! Every time that I turn on the radio there is so much doom and gloom being spouted, it's no wonder that nobody is spending any money. So Media, SHUT UP! BE POSITIVE for a change. Talk about what people need to do to get things moving again. Tell them to come to Revolution Cycle and Ski and buy stuff - lots of stuff. Tell them to pay full retail price and not to look for bargains. Tell them NOT to go to the "big box" stores to buy some piece of junk bicycle that will fall apart in an hour or two. Tell them to support local businesses and to avoid the mall - malls are all about corporate greed. YES! the same greed that got us into this mess in the first place.
Finally, a little snow would be nice ... please?
