How to Double Your Revenue
I want to tell you about a true American success story…born from noticing the obvious. Recently at a Denny’s Franchise Owner’s meeting I met a young man named Glenn Beattie. Glenn scraped together enough money to buy a Denny’s restaurant in Phoenix, Arizona. He wasn’t afraid he’d lose money because he had noticed something obvious […]
How to Out-Starbucks … Starbucks
Growing up my mom would pay about 1.20 for a pound of Folger’s coffee, because Mrs.Olson said “Mountain Grown” coffee was the best. Then Starbucks comes along and says the coffee mom drank was garbage…and they made us feel smart to pay 11 bucks for a 1lb bag. Would YOU pay 45.00 for a 12oz […]
How to Fight a Price War
Best Buy doesn’t like what you’re doing and they’re fighting back. Does this sound familiar? Let’s say you’re in the market for a camera or the latest flatscreen TV. You walk into Best Buy, you play with the cameras, you wander over to the TVs, stare at a few favorites, you write down a couple […]
Brilliant Shirts for Fat Guys
Michael Burger here for the Relevant Report. Coming to you wearing my $100.00 Tommy Bahama shirt.

But I’ve actually found an innovation that makes a certain group of people very, very angry. Got your attention, didn’t I? This is the Tide laundry pod, and […]
Are You Innovating? If not, they will!
Michael Burger here for the Relevant Report Every morning I wake up to brand new innovations, seemingly created overnight. Seriously, people are so creative and innovative; new products faster than I can share them with you. However, as I was remodeling my home office, I ran across a new one you just have to see. I bought a new […]
Old People Have the Money You Want
I just spoke to a company called Smith & Nephew. They are a company that makes artificial hips and knees and shoulders. A lot of people are buying these replacement parts because they want to be active seniors…people over 55 years old. Instead of worrying about which demographic to go after, think about who has […]
Auto Paint & Weddings are Similar
I spoke at a big Auto Body Paint convention and learned that (for years) PPG was the world’s leading oil-based auto paint supplier. But when their scientists created a superior paint color match water-borne paint, they knew they had to retrain thousands of body shop painters. Realistically, that meant investing 10-12 months with each painter…and […]
