G&T for breakfast indeed.......

You'd think I could come up with my own stuff.  I'm a creative, literate, educated, and to those who know me personally, enviably hip (IMO) beancounter.

Go ahead, imbibe of the intoxicating lexiconical of my old buddiola, bizmarketer http://bizmarketer.wordpress.com/2010/08/13/gin-tonic-for-breakfast-on-monday/ in which my favourite cocktail becomes a metaphor for the workweek and work itself.  With her customary poesie bizmarketer has captured that which I did not know I was thinking.  The gin she did not prescribe,  Bizmarketer is nothing if not tactful - in my vision that would be 1. Bombay Sapphire, the cleanest, crispest gin on the planet (wafted, not boiled, please consult the label) or 2. Tanquery - I recall an there was EMG reader employed there  and this product  was a longtime favourite of mine or  possibly 3. Gordons or 4.  Beefeater or 5. Gin, it was gin damn it.

What is my small business point?  Set priorities that will aid your business in achieving it's most important objectives (be profitable without selling your soul, provide employment for your offspring even if they don't know they want it, be enjoyable.....you tell me, if it involves little kids and ponies, I'll prolly try real hard to publish it.)  In the meantime, if you're interested in amusing marketing advice I think you can apply to your small business with a little imagination, a Rolling Stones CD and, last ditch, my advice on how to.... (just ping me an email, I love this stuff)  have a go at bizmarketer's blog.  She's a really successful gal who works for a rully big company.....
