Business Rants

When I Die from Skin Cancer

Today, my panties are in a bunch, yup I said it they are in a bunch. As a matter of fact if I continue to watch local news coverage by news providers like Bay News 9 chances are I will just get more and more pissed off. I sat down to have a quick lunch [Continue Reading]

Diversification in Business is Key

It’s been a while since I posted a rant of my own or took the time to rant about something in regards to business or one of our competitors. I recently posted my first “Guest Rant” which was written by Lace in regards to his poor customer service experience with Comcast Cable. It turns out [Continue Reading]

Guest Rant: Comcast Blows

I have only had one other “Guest Post” here on Extreme John.com before and it was for a very good cause, it was an article to help catch the killer of an innocent family, the husband was arrested. One of the guys that works with me daily has been bitching and complaining non stop about [Continue Reading]

Keep Talkin

Every once in a while I take have been known to take a break from the normal crap I post here on Extreme John and address an individual, business or whatever else I feel might need some addressing. I honestly do it more for fun than anything else, I know that most of the people [Continue Reading]

Cry for Me

It’s no secret that I have no problem addressing competitors when it comes to my indoor tanning salon business, Extreme Tan and Smoothies. Over the past five years I have come across all kinds of competition and always respond accordingly. However on the flip side of things we very rarely go after any competitor first, [Continue Reading]

Coconuts Don’t Be Nuts

This would almost be the story of David vs Goliath if we were writing novels or producing some big time movie, instead we have a situation that seems more like a page out of my book. This particular book of mine constantly has pages being ripped out of it by competitors looking to do the [Continue Reading]

Dunkin Donuts? Doubt it

This is actually a rant that I had planned on writing in regards to the Dunkin Donuts location located on U.S 19 in Palm Harbor Florida. I initially planned on writing this Dunkin Donuts rant when I first had the experience that prompted me to even want to write a rant. Since some time has [Continue Reading]

Throwback: Larry the Liar

As I continue my “Throwback Series” I decided to change it up a little bit from the Hot Pool Party Pictures I posted in my most recent Throwback series post. I also felt the need to avoid posting Hot Ass Pictures and sexy fan signs like I have also done in the past. Instead I [Continue Reading]

Sorry CINTAS it’s time to go

I thought this one was somewhat funny and decided to post it anyway, people in business or considering going into business and especially Business owners that have Multiple Locations will find this pretty amusing. I do plan on keeping this short so I can finish with the BBQ and [Continue Reading]

No Soliciting Stupid

I am in one of my typical piss poor moods where nothing is going to make me happy, with that said there’s no better time to write about Soliciting than right now. I walked into the office today and much to my surprise the door decals that I ordered two months ago for the Insane [Continue Reading]

From one moron to another

Might have properly been titled “From one moron to another moron, an idiot and a once good friend” but that would have been too long, or maybe something like “From one schmuck to another”, or something like “Read the whole thing before you run your mouth” or “don’t believe everything you hear and only half [Continue Reading]

Do it right now

This will be one of those extremely boring pretty basic business strategies that everyone (at least I think) has tried to do in the past. You also have companies out there that have coined solid phrases like, “Do it, Delegate it or Dump it.”, which is about as simple as it can get when it [Continue Reading]

The weak get weaker

I feel like I jumped into one of the Back to the Future cars and blasted off into the past… I remember it well, the year was 2004 and we had just opened our second Extreme Tan and Smoothies location in Clearwater Florida. The company was buzzing we had just finished opening our second location [Continue Reading]
