Is Old School Relevant?

[Mike AI]

Sounds like someone is a little bitter....

Successful Entrepreneurs recoginize opportunities faster, and capitalize on them better then others.

Old timers is a misnomer. In the modern digital economy, the ability to change quickly, capture efficiencies, and understand concepts of free-market capitalism enables people to be successful.

Success is not a destination, but a journey.

Oldtimers means "experienced". Experience is a tremendous aid in both seeing recurring patterns in new environments as well as giving more info to use for "gut instinct".

Do they have food there yet since Katrina?

I've heard all the billions Dubya allegedly sent, no one can find it having been used anywhere. Stories about refrigerators stuck atop trees is apparently not an uncommon sight even today. The trees that are still standing, that is.

Ya know, I was considering some gulf coast seafood the other day and I actually paused.... Gotta wonder if there are any 3 eyed fish in the Gulf as a result of eating and living in New Orleans dirty bath water for the past few months...

As for old school and old timers, this biz mirrors any other....

Times change, and anything relating to technology changes FAST....

The smart, the bold and those who are driven will adapt. The best of them will seize new opportunities as a result of change and climb even higher.

Others will just go along for the ride and do whatever everyone else does. They'll always be a little behind the curve, but they'll work hard and make a living.

And then there are those who refuse to change. They'll get passed by completely, and they'll be doomed to sit on the porch pining for the good old days and bitching about the way things have changed.

IMO there's a lot of people in this biz sitting on the porch bitching. They didn't have to work hard or smart for their money, never learned how to do it, and now cant or wont. It's harsh reality to realize that you now need to do a 60 hour week to make a fraction of what you did working 10 hours a week in 1999.

A little over exageration on all points.

Even post-Katrina New Orleans is still one of the food capitols of the world.

http://nomenu.com to see what places are open.

We are back in Florida now. But we hit Cuvee ( our favorite reasturant in New Orleans), Galitiore's ( celebrating their 100th birthday this year), Bon Tomp Cafe, Mother's, GW Fins while in town. All were outstanding!
