    This was very interesting. Even though I am not myself a business owner, I hope to be in the future and this could be very helpful. I liked that it was “dumbed down” a bit since some of those “large” words can at times be a little difficult to understand. The point in the video where he said that you should not invest in what you dont understand is great, and very helpful. Thank you for the insight.

    Sincerely, Cassie

    this was very informative for those starting out, will keep this book in mind for use at a later date and time ;) thanks for putting this information out there!

  66. Paul Johnson says:

    I have to agree with Gunderson, investing in what you know is a lot smarter than “pray and spray.” It seems obvious, but sometimes you actually have to hear it from someone else for it to sound sane.

  67. Araceli Gonzalez says:

    This was a really great interview. In this economy, especially, it is difficult to start a business when you don’t have the money, but most importantly the motivation. This video made me realize that purpose and passion are really important when taking the leap and starting your own business. Without those two things you are doomed to fail. Garret had some really great financial advice that could easily be translated into a small business or even one more established.

  68. God! financial advices are most needed nowadays. Good work. Thank you Mr.Garrett

  69. very helpful for business starters

  70. Bold title for a book. Makes it seem a little more enticing.

  72. Mr. Garret G. has some great insights into business. His book killing sacred cows sounds interesting. The truth is that there are many misconceptions about finances out there and weeding through the garbage is the hard part.

  73. it was really great to here that stock exchange is not only a way to earn profit. this book killing sacred cows will help to those people who want to invest and to earn profit. this video or conservation will help to that people. this conservation help in finance and investment.

  74. the video is good and is really important for the one who think of starting a business

  75. Thank you very much for some really great ideas, I am planning to start a business soon its very helpful for me.

  76. Arvin Laqui says:

  78. Hi Andrew, I thought I’d play catch-up today with My usual routines which were put on the back boiler for several weeks and this episode was one of the first ‘to-do’ things for me …. How refreshing to be able to sit and watch such a concise and ‘giving’ interview?
    Some very relevant points I’ll be taking away from this one especially as ‘Financial Consultants’ put the fear of God into me I have to admit :-)

    Good one …. Pete.

This article looks at the common mistakes and how to avoid them when using QR Codes to market your small business. Here are three that I have picked out for the purpose of this article. 1. Not having a clearly defined campaign strategy. Often business owners will jump ahead of themselves, print a few QR Codes, stick them somewhere and hope something happens. Yet for QR Codes to be effective, they must be the end result of a well thought overall strategy that is based on plenty of market research. It is important to have specific goals your business wants to achieve such as to get moreFacebooklikes, to subscribe more people to your newsletter, to increase sales in the month of November 2011 etc. In addition, it is vital to conduct thorough market research on yourtargetmarket and to know how well they understand what QR Codes are, how to scan them etc. If you’retargetmarket is technophobic, you will need to incorporate a lot of educational instructions or decide that  QR Codes may not be a good idea. 2. Not testing your QR Codes A surprising mistake business owners make is not testing their codes. Although QR Codes are free to generate, your media ads are paid for so if a code is faulty, you will have wasted a lot of money on your ads. You should test your code in the following ways: * Make sure they work on various mobile devices * Make sure they work with various code reading apps * Make sure the color contrast between the code and its background is friendly so that it’s possible to scan the code. Plus make sure the code is sized correctly. * If you are using codes in outdoor locations, go to each of those sites and check that there is Wi-Fi in the location. After all with no internet connection, QR Codes will not connect to your website. [...]
