When I think of revenue growth, I think of the words 'mix' and 'shift.'
My hardcover sales are 17% down in books but up 400% in electronics.
Retailing, it's always true that there is some items that I wish we had a lot more of like the iPod and there is some items I wish we had a lot less of.
You can't take up all the music bins at a CD retail outlet with Spice Girls CDs and leave nothing for the Joan Jett catalogue.
A bar is a factory, a marketing organization, and a service organization all in one.
You can't run a business just by selling one thing.
I use shea butter, olive oil, Shea Moisture - the coconut hibiscus bottle. A mix of that. If I want to do a slick bun, I'll use Eco Style Gel even though it has fragrance in it. Oooh, scary. I'll survive. I keep using it because it works.
In a dream, a big black man appeared to me and told me what to mix up for my hair. I made up my mind I would begin to sell it.
