Every once in a while I like to take the time out to address an individual that I know reads the Extreme John blog or at least knows someone that reads it for them so they can communicate little things back to the actual individual I’m referring to. Instead of taking the steps I usually take to let someone know my thoughts about their business to business practices I’m going to do it a little different today.
Today I will teach (hopefully) a few small business owners how to avoid being viewed as the small business clown, a Len Kucci. I will be using the name Len Kucci in this story as a way to protect the actual individual I am referring to from anymore embarrassment than they already deal with on an everyday basis.
There are all kinds of things that make Len Kucci a small business clown, and the sad part about it is that most of the things that make Len Kucci a clown are things anyone can avoid. Simple things like not bragging about shit that no one else cares about, Len constantly talks about his “big deals” meanwhile his “big deals” have nothing to do with the business deal your working on. Sorry Len, your “multi million dollar” fluffy golf club deals don’t mean shit to me and never will.
Keep your business dealings on point, spending 20 minutes bragging to someone about something irrelevant to them makes YOU a clown.
I would have to say that the above is probably by far the most annoying thing Len does. One of the additional annoying traits of a Len Kucci is being chief bullshit artist, Mr. “We Will Do This”, meanwhile chief bullshit artist fails to ever actually do any of the things that were discussed. Sorry, but wasting time listening to some clown brag about shit and make false promises is hardly productive in a business sense.
I can go on and on about Len Kucci and the likes of Len Kucci all day, that would snooze you right up. Len Kucci’s are boring in business just like they are in real life, no true self made business owner can ever find themselves falling for the works of small business clown like a Lucci.
Don’t be a Lucci.
O.k, I’m out. Show some love and leave a comment or just check out the Facebook fan page and say hey.
P.s sorry for the crap updates lately, I’ve been busy as shit getting things done and dealing with real small business owners like my peeps over at Pet Safari, Car Tunes Audio, and Gulf Coast Limousines to name a few.

Thanks for sharing very useful information. This is very helpful for me.

We have no shortage of clown businessmen I remember a company name BlueHippo (something like that) who were selling 500 dollars computer in 3000 dollars to US citizens.
By the way I see two comments that are complete 100% spam bots
. The things they say is appropriate for every article in the world. It is a universal comment. Do you see them 
?

I do Matt thanks.
Keep your business dealings on point :high:

Damn straight.
Handy to know these twots exist everywhere ..LOL…Australia has them too only we don’t usually put up with them for too long. One thing about us Aussies is that when we spot a clown, we tend to let everyone know in short order. Anyone who gets a reputation as a “skite” rarely gets any good business offers. One thing us Aussie take offence to is skiting! Mind you, we aren’t too keen on time wasters either, so I’ll leave you in peace
Twitter: extremejohn
Haha, the opening line just about killed me.
:high: is what most business clowns must be. Or maybe they have never learned how to run a business. Thanks for a fun story about a real life experience, with the decency to protect the clown from being seen as one.

It’s nice to play nice sometimes
Hey, this is a funny though informative article. Yes, it’s useless to be a Luci. Business clowns are totally unproductive and ‘self-depreciative’ (if I should say so).
I think I found out the secret name lol
Twitter: extremejohn
Hmmmm. Message me I wanna know.
Agree. I personally know wannabe-businessmen like you described them. I try to have nothing to do with such “clowns” but they can be really annoying.

could we be speaking of an ass that owns an ass. limo company?
Don’t know the beef but I want to hear more, you can’t just leave us hanging like that.
Maybe another ficticous post will explain it all.
Hows the leg? Looked extremely painful.

As for the ass limo and such, no comment
Hey John, I wonder how many of us Googled Len Kucci lol I mean it’s pretty creative, not like Mr. Smith. Of course you dominate the top spots for those two words. And I’ll be dammed if you didn’t take number one for Small Business Clown too. And number five for Business Clown. All within a week. You have friends in Mountain View, CA?

Yep , NOTHING drives me more nuts than someone talkin about irrelevent shit that I couldn’t give a crap about, next to someone that lies flat out to your face and actually thinks you believe them lol. I can relate to that. BTW how about that moron today that told us he drove a Ferrari , are you kidding me. Jackassss
talkin about Hustlin people , wtf. What a clown .
Twitter: extremejohn
Yeah it was kind of strange to have some guy walk up and be like, “Hey, I drive a Ferrari…. but the state of Florida doesn’t think I should have a drivers license right now.”
Ummmmmm ok, hey thanks.
in business being a lucci is a no no.. straight to the point and close the deal..
Twitter: extremejohn
Seems simple enough.
My first job was for this sort of Len Kucci. He could talk HOURS about things we was going to do and how much money we will make.. and then nothing came to live. Now my only rule for dealing with them is just: stay away from them. :high:

Sometimes in certain areas of business these clowns come out of the wood work and hunt you down, only to waste your time and move on to other things.
