Other than that, that is all I am seeing BranchOut does today.

Good call Alex..carry on.

I have my waders on ready to wade into the flood to pull the golf businesses out so they survive. It is very unfortunate that Social Media is not getting the recognition in the mainstream marketing arena. Maybe logic does not prevail there. Anyway, lets keep hammering at the floodgates and get this show on the road.

Mr Change had better put his Cup On and go in swinging to get the spending stopped and mandate jobs to be created with the Trillion that is going to be printed.

Things are not acting or reacting the way they did ten minutes ago. One thing we thought was certain...that business must go on...is not certain since nobody seems to be wanting to do any business that requires any transaction of actual funds. Are there answers and solutions, we can only hope.

Mon, 5 Jan 2009 21:27:52 +0000 http://www.fortworthstartups.com/2009/01/05/how-to-make-money-in-2009-with-your-web-startup/#IDComment13650065 http://linux04.f5key.com/2009/01/7-simple-time-management-rules-for.html#IDComment13643933 This approach is good if (and that is "I" "F" in big capital letters) someone (like the boss or company) does not schedule your day for you. This is a growing issues with layoffs and workforce cuts. Company owners and uninformed (overly educated) managers start using math to figure how all the projects that have to be completed from the remaining workforce which means those left to do the work have to double (or triple) their work load to keep the company's revenue flowing so the Owners and Executives can keep drawing their salaries. Time management is a very profitable tool if it is used correctly. However too many times delegating something to do to someone else as a way of managing the originator's time is not time managing...its called Dumping which makes time managing worst since it means even more time has to be scheduled for someone to redo what was deligated to someone who was Overloaded. I use the One Thing at a Time method and schedule all the time I need for that one Thing to get it done...this illiminates dumping off to someone else who is already working on their 'One thing'. Great blog BTW.

Not that I am defending the golf industry or the golf courses for not using the internet, however they just do not know how to use the internet to hit the REAL golfer.

I think your comment was close to being a 59 on your scorecard. You hammered every point the golf industry needs to look at to survive. I guess we now can just see what takes place.

I suppose that this is the weakness of this type of social media tactic. OH, well, thanks and YES, I do need to do more post like this...wish someone would pay me to write them...it would make the words flow so much easier. Cheers, talk to ya soon.

I still think that some of creditors of some of the clubs serving a large debt are going to have take a hit for the risk they took. Higher membership fees and higher green fees are not going to get them out of debt..

I like that....Yes, I see a lot of the shotgun approach to blogging. It is a shame since it produces so very little ANYTHING. In my seminars I show newbies to la-la-land how to cut out the noise and avoid these guys and gals who go 'Bird Hunting' on the internet. Seems there are more people like me and you who are trying to clear the smoke out of the internet so everyone can see how to use this business tool. Thanks for your support.

I am like you. Have played for so many years and have the cost built into life style it was concerning to look at this report. However, for the benefits I had gained over the years, both professionally and personally, golf still is much, much more profitable than any other activity I have been involved with..and believe me, I have tried most. Thanks for yoror comment.

Maybe in a few years we are voting for Ethan. With him having an ol Man like you I am sure he would be worth my vote.
