When I say this stuff, it comes off as whining. I think everybody should do (1) restaurant work; and (2) own a small business...for the perspective.
I own a restaurant and I have to say, we sell a lot of gift cards at the end of the year that end up as Christmas presents. It's absolutely something that helps us catch up the bills before the end of the year. There is absolutely nothing that Grant's done that's unusual, except to be exceptionally transparent. When I learned about Rivendell earlier this year I read through as many old Rivendell Readers as I could because I appreciated the openness with which Grant shared the travails of the business early on. As a business owner I'm fully aware of my own travails, but I don't often hear about those of other business owners. Being in this position can feel very isolating. I guess this comes off as whiny to some, but think this kind of transparency is useful. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
