How To Jumpstart Your Business By Buying A Bunch Of Batteries

*Here at Sean University, we pride ourselves on building the leaders of tomorrows great businesses today (by end of business). And with this completely organic and not at all subsidized lesson, were putting the power to succeed in your hands. Take a look:*Where Im from, theres a common saying: Batteries are like potato chips; you cant have just one. Unless youre dealing with something that only requires only one potato chip, in which case, you dont want to use more than one potato chip, because if you shove more than one potato chip into a one-potato-chip-sized space, you risk crushing one or more potato chips. And its the same with batteries, but a little different, because of electricity.![Figure 1][1]Not only is this saying poignant and easy-to-remember; its true, especially in the world of commerce! To prove it, here are three reasons why 192 batteries are exactly what you need to build a better business:1. Theyre more valuable than candy: A lot of places have mints or lollipops out for you to take as you leave, but candy is fleeting. Put out a bowl of batteries and show your customers you care by giving them something that lasts for more than a few minutes! (What else is cool is you can encourage customers to bring flashlights to put them in, and then you dont have to pay for lights in your parking lot, thus offsetting the cost of batteries vs. candy.)![Figure 2][2]2. You can glue them together into miniature illustrative rafts: You know whats annoying? When youre schmoozing with clients or investors and youve got a killer rafting metaphor to drop on them, only you dont know what their regional word for raft is. For example, maybe they call them river-ride-ons or flatty-floaties. So, heres what you do: you take your 192 batteries and split them into groups of three. You glue these together so they sort of look like log rafts. Then, you put one little raft in every shirt, pant, and blazer pocket in your wardrobe. Now youll never be without a little raft to pull out and be like, You know, rafts, in case theres a misunderstanding. (NOTE: you still may need to move the little battery raft like its going down a river and make splashy noises to really hammer the point home.)![Figure 3][3]3. You can use them to power all the remotes in your universal remote store: If youve ever owned and operated a universal remote store, you know theres an excited look potential buyers get in their eyes after you finish up explaining what each button does on a given model. It means: enough rundown, more thumb down. In other words, they need to see it in action or else youre only selling them on the dream. By having 192 batteries around, you ensure that each remote is ready to point and punch at a moments notice. (Special bonus points if you make it so that, when you turn one of the demo TVs on, theres a super sexy person on the screen saying, Wow, I love someone who knows their way around a remote.)![Figure 4][4]That concludes our lesson for today. But if youd like to offer up some of your own propbably less ingenious ways in which 192 batteries will help you succeed in business, our forums are open! [1]: [2]: [3]: [4]:
