Coastal your cracking me up! Didnt think you would go with the drunk indian responce!

Here is an honest guess and assesment. As a small business owner I often find myself pulled in many different directions some times failing at everything I do and sometimes making everyone happy. Unfortunatly you wear lots of different hats and some of those jobs you hate and procrastinate on. The honest advice I would give anyone in her position is to hire some one or a service to do what you hate to free you up to do what your good at and love doing. Its not always easy. I tried hiring some help for the same reasons this last year. It worked well, I was happier and got more done but the guys I hired didnt work out... really too bad because one of them was pretty cool. It seems like it might cost too much, or that who you hire doesnt have the right skills but it can really help.
It appears that the work she does is stellar but she needs drastic help getting her back on track. I had a professor at CWU that was a BBB small business consultant and every story he told was a lesson on how the little thing can make or break a small business.

Michelle talk to a profesional business councillor from the BBB or some where else. Its a shame that someone with your skills is earning a bad reputation.

There is a difference. You recognized that you had a problem. She won't. Until then, nothing will help.

Im not out of the woods yet I still have lots of work to do.  If it was my rug id be pissed too but I thought that when she does read this hopefully she will take it into account from one small business owner to another.
Simple fact is that a great mechanic,plumber taxidermist or (fill in the blank) that is really tallented often fail in business. Recognising your strenghts and weaknesses is a super importand part of being sucessful overall. One of my customer doesnt do any of his bookwork because he hates it. Uses a gal on the olypen that does if for him. Its all she does because shes good at it. Playing to your strengths and improving or minimizing your weaknesses is the key to sucess. Im not perfect but I think its important to to share a solution.

Unfortunate to point out that encouraging words and advice on how to fix/repair have been made in the past as well.

in just about all of the previous threads, there is countless posts suggesting almost exactly the same advice Special T thoughtfully wrote out. Some very well written posts offering help and advice.

And Michelle snubbed most of the suggestions in the past as if it were someone else's problem and not hers.  She is very selective in what she wants to respond to.  I am by no means perfect, but this lady needs someone standing by her in the taxidermy shop to keep her accountable to tasks/timelines and second role to work with the public.  It is clear Michelle lacks these two pivotal traits in the business operations.

I read a couple of the past bash sessions. Some wer good/bad sugestions. When your underwater hire a profesional for advise and then take it.! I try and do what my lawyer or accountant tells me because they are specialists and thier billable hour is more than mine.

Btw id like some of that big bag of popcorn, &there is a reason why ive never told you all my business!

Yes he did!


AND!!!


I think he took mine!  He's a greedy bagger.

Boy coastal wants all of your sacks now

[Magnum_Willys]

If you google her BBB rating its the lowest you can get on a scale of A+ to F.  Maybe she needs to utilize her talents working under another taxidermist......

[PlateauNDN]

So essentially coastal is saying he wants another man's sack and there's a member on here that gives his sack away for free if you send your address? . Sorry but I don't want to utilize another man's sack. Nope, huh-uh, no way...

Also, how do you get the wrinkles out of your sack coastal? Mines just all wrinkley and saggy.

I had to dig through my old pm's, but I think I've cracked the code.  Below is an excerpt from my conversation with her when I was trying to make sure she wasn't a Unabomber after she asked for my mailing address.  If your mount is taking awhile, it's probably because you're not likeable.  Michelle, hopefully you don't get mad at me for this.

That sounds creepy.  Is it a bomb?  You're not one of those rabid Seahawks fans that have been following my posts lately are you...?

BTW. . .I don't work with bombs.  I just wait til someone I don't like brings me an animal to mount and the more I don't like you the longer I keep it.   Be afraid. . . .Be VERY Afraid.

Coastal.....that old pm is right on part with a few old Alwine quotes.

Frankly......IT'S TRUE.

[Coastal_native]

I think huntwa needs to provide me with whistle blower protection....Or else my free bag days are over.
