Denise O’ ‘Berry, a small business expert, author, and friend, just spent the last week producing a video describing the contents of my new book on franchising. I met Denise, (but not in-person yet) through my association with Small Business Trends, where I’m the “Franchise Expert in Residence.”
Denise specializes in small business strategy, and is one smart lady.
I put Denise on my list of people that I wanted my publisher to send review copies out to, and she obviously put my book on top of the others that she receives, because she read it in record time. She did something else to; she took the time to shoot the video below. And she took the time needed to submit it to the folks at Amazon.com for approval. (I guess it’s not easy to get a video review of a new book approved.)
I’m grateful to Denise for doing this, and Amazon.com for adding it to the page they put together highlighting my book.
Have you read my book yet? Have you seen the reviews that are just starting to come in? Look!

Good News, U.S. Hotel Profit RecoveryAccording to the new PKF Trends survey, the U.S. lodging industry produced a 12.7% profit growth in 2011. 80.5% of participating hotels enjoyed an increase in total revenue while 72.3% achieved growth in profits.

Federal Court Invalidates "Quickie" Union Election Rule, For NowOn May 14, 2012, the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia set aside a controversial final rule of the National Labor Relations Board ("NLRB") that was designed to make it easier and faster for unions to hold organizing elections. Chamber of Commerce of the United States of America, et al. v. NLRB, Case No. 11-02262 (D.D.C. May 14, 2012). Business groups are hailing the decision, but the celebration may be short lived. Because the ruling was essentially decided on a procedural point, the NLRB may seek to resurrect the rule, which creates a very short window for union elections, and leaves employers with little time to react to an organized union campaign.
