Its CEO’s Model? His Cleaning Lady</a>: <blockquote> <p><strong>Your business icon is your cleaning lady? </strong></p> <p>She’s on her own, she cleans people’s homes, she’s incredibly nice. She brings flowers every time she cleans, and she’s just respectful and nice and awesome. Why can’t more people be like that? She’s been doing it some twenty-odd years, and that’s just an incredible success story. To me that’s far more interesting than a tech company that’s hiring a bunch of people, just got their fourth round of financing for 12 million dollars, and they’re still losing money. That’s what everyone talks about as being exciting, but I think that’s an absolutely disgusting scenario when it comes to business.</p> </blockquote> <p>- Jason Fried</p>http://supersnazzy.com/post/30474419409http://supersnazzy.com/post/30474419409Wed, 29 Aug 2012 14:25:24 -0700<a href="http://flightfox.com/">Cheapest Flights Guaranteed By Experts</a>: <blockquote> <p>Real people compete to find you the best flights.</p> </blockquote> <p>Hot.</p>http://supersnazzy.com/post/30409219878http://supersnazzy.com/post/30409219878Tue, 28 Aug 2012 14:46:55 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9620jZ8PK1qbv30bo1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://www.ahalife.com/product/742/Award-winning-handmade-glass-fish-bowl/">Aruliden Underwater Landscape Fish Bowl | AHAlife</a>)</p> <p>Desk fishbowl.</p>http://supersnazzy.com/post/29972499455http://supersnazzy.com/post/29972499455Wed, 22 Aug 2012 10:02:43 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m941kmUNVX1qbv30bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://fab.com/sale/9511/product/196359/z7ka7i/?fref=product-invite-tu">Walking Miss Duckie</a></p> <p>Art at its finest.</p>http://supersnazzy.com/post/29899065819http://supersnazzy.com/post/29899065819Tue, 21 Aug 2012 07:57:57 -0700
