Two Buck Chuck wins Best Chardonnay in California

We've talked about Wine in the past, and it's always a good subject to start off the weekend.

As if flipping isn't hard enough, a $2 wine beats out some of the highest priced bottles at this years California State Fair. Trader Joes, which sells 2 buck chuck, really knows what they are doing! Flipping bottles of wine at a low cost and high volume, while not going to make an individual investor or mom and pop shop rich, is something to learn from. Trader Joes knows people will shop for dinner, or lunch, and pick up some of this excellent tasting low priced wine. It's the best form of marketing considering all the press they are getting now for free!

I've had it on many occasions and its great for drinking and cooking with. I like it better than many higher priced competitors.

In a time where price seems to reflect on quality (but has nothing to do with it in many cases), this is a sure win for Trader Joes. It will be interesting to see if demand can keep up now that everyone knows the secret.

How can you benefit from flipping your product, real estate, or information and creating the type of buzz two buck chuck will surely benefit from?

Cheers!

Flipping Willie Horton

In politics, flipping is everything. No, not flipping as in changing sides, but flipping information or ideas, profiting not from their sale, but their acceptance. Willie Horton is again in the news, why? Well, put simply, the holiday political season has begun, and it ain't snow thats raining down. In 1988, Willie Horton was used to dessimate the Michael Dukakis campaign , you can't easily buy that sort of ammunition. What matters is not necessarily the facts, but how you flip the story and sell it to the viewers.

Appalachian State Football and Real Estate?

So what does Appalachian State have to do with Real Estate? Well, I was researching real estate in NC and got sidetracked with the news that Appalachian State beat Michigan 34-32. Talk about short attention span. Needless to say, in my Google searching, I came across Michael Bradford's Real Estate Blog . Funny how when looking for one thing you often find something completely different. Michael has some really good advice for those looking to flip, and has some examples of his recent flipping.

Don't just flip and run, reflection is the key to balance

"Reflection balances experience, it allows us to process our sensory data and file it away and make sense of the world." In Mind Like Water: Keeping Your Balance in a Chaotic World , Jim Ballard talks about meditation, reflection, and thinking in a mind like water state. I bought this some time ago and have been reading it slowly. It's definately a find at your local library, or used via ebay or Amazon .
