The sun rises on another day on Koh Phangan a small tropical Island tucked away in the Gulf of Thailand, as the sun starts to creep through the coconut plantations, singing birds comae alive with charming voices of song heard across the valleys and bays. The Island wakes up early and often the busiest time of day for the local is in the early morning when they open their shop houses for the days business. For tourists staying on Koh Phangan the day may start a little later and for those lucky enough to afford a private villa rental that day may start with a dip in the pool before some light breakfast. Luxury villas for holiday rent are becoming increasingly more popular in Thailand and have been a...

THE DREAM My father and I have talked about attending the Masters Golf Tournament in Augusta, Georgia for years.  I always thought that I would someday be able to go, but never imagined it would be so soon; and here’s how it all started.   THE LIST It just so happens that my wife and I decided to create a list of the things we wanted to do before we die, inspired by a recent movie.  So, we were dining at our favorite Thai restaurant and started making a list of all those things we wanted to do in life that were personal, not work related.  Some of mine included going to the Masters, attending a symphony orchestra, going to Europe, and so much more.    Well, by the time my list was complete...

Most people have goals and they try very hard to achieve them. However, when they try several times but they are not able to reach their objectives, they mostly quit doing and change to do something else. For me, if I have my dreams, I will try very hard and never ever give up what I dream for until I acquire what I want. Hence, I agree that people should never give up about what they are doing because the rewards after hard working are waiting for someone giving heart and time on their works. Firstly, most people will give up after they have been doing something for awhile because they do not have right plans to manage problems. The young entrepreneurs, for example, open a Thai restaurant and they...

Often a prospect spirals into a negative abyss. As a master persuader you need to understand what is happening to your prospect. By having an understanding of your prospects concerns, you will have a greater ability to resolve concerns and close more sales. 1. Faulty Cause: assumes that because one thing follows another, the second thing was definitively caused by the first. Example: Shawn broke his mother's mirror, and sure enough, he was in a car wreck the next week 2. Sweeping Generalization: assumes that what is true in most cases must be true in all cases. Example: We can't hire this candidate because he's an ex-felon, and studies show that most ex-felons experience relapses. 3...

Another day, another great workout. Since I had started kickboxing, I had kicked and punched my way to a great summer body. The results showed at the beach, in the club and in Shana's eyes. I loved the way she looked at me nowadays. I had a date with her after my kickboxing routine and I was just driving the car around the block to pick her up. "Hi!" I said as she opened the door. "Hey" she gushed effusively. Then a quick peck later, we were on the way to the car. She had her arm around my biceps and it felt great. Inside the car, "You look great nowadays," Shana said. I've been working out my way to that perfect summer body" I said, "and my new workout is great fun." "What kind of workout is that...

Blind Date vs Internet Date Your friend has decided that you need help with your social life so she sets you up with a blind date….a friend of a friend of a friend.  You, foolishly, accept.  Now there you are. It’s less than one hour since you were introduced.  You are sitting in a Thai restaurant and you hate Thai food.  The entrée has not yet been served.  His idea of enlightened conversation is who will be in the final four…you aren’t into sports. He knows the weekly TV schedule verbatim….you haven’t sat through a movie in months because you run marathons and volunteer at the local food bank. He says, “Volunteering is a waste of time because you can’t help ‘those people...

Several years ago, I took a vacation to Thailand. It was the best vacation of my life. The country is beautiful and extremely safe for a 3rd world country. The food was fantastic. I love Thai food. The people are friendly and probably the best part of all, everything is dirt cheap. You can get a beautiful apartment on the beach for $300-$500 per month. Dinner at a Thai restaurant is often less than $2. I started thinking I would like to retire there or better yet, find a job there. Unfortunately there are laws making it very hard to get a job in Thailand unless you are Thai. I got to know some of the local residents. I asked them what they did for a living. A lot of them worked on oil rigs. The oil...

If you have ever been the recipient of a prescription medication or viewed a television commercial touting one, it sometimes seems that the possible side effects can create more problems than the solution. You ask yourself if it is worth the risk. Improper, inadequate or halfhearted market research should ask you the same thing. Since most companies are founded on the principle of profitability, the goods or services they provide ought to be something that the public can benefit from. That is where market research comes into play. Doing that research accurately will determine if your business will flourish or fall flat on its face. Wendell Dunhill learned his lesson in market research the hard way...

Most foods taste better when mixed with the proper flavoring or dressing. Be it a main dish or simply, an appetizer, nothing beats a good food with an equally good dressing. An ordinary steak becomes extraordinaire when served with a flavorsome sauce. Fruits like strawberry work better with dips like whipped cream or chocolate. Salad, one of the more famous combinations of good foods tossed together, never comes without its accompanying dressing since this gives it that added flavor. Whether this is a garden fresh salad or a Caesar delight, this will come as somewhat bare if not served with a dressing. And with the people’s fascination with inventing any dressing of their choice, the options are...

Grilling food is one of the best ways of preparing it easily and healthy. Grilling food is a technique by which the food is dry heated from below or above side of the food. An open wire grid with heat above or below is called a grill. Foods can be cooked in this grill which base material is a metal. The metal is a good conductor of electricity and it saves time as well as energy while cooking. Heat is transferred to the food in a grill pan, which is similar to a frying pan but with raised ridges, via thermal radiation. The heat transferred is through direct conduction. When the heat source in a grilling pan comes from above it is called broiling. If the grilling techniques are followed correctly to...

"Hibachi"- that is now what most people call the common barbecue grill. This portable cooking device is popularly used to cook barbecue outdoors. The "hibachi" is commercially available in almost all the market places. It is commonly made of steel with grills on the top and a container for charcoals. Some are equipped with stand. The main feature is that it can be easily stowed away when not in use. Because it is small, urban dwellers often use the "hibachi" in the patios of high rise buildings. To Japanese, a 'hibachi' is not a barbecue grill. A real Japanese hibachi uses the charcoals just like the barbecue grills but it is not used for outdoor cooking. It is normally used indoors to heat the food...

You can use deep fried pork in a lot of Asian recipes. Deep fried battered meat can be turned into tonkatsu, orange pork or a sweet and sour dish. You use the same deep frying method to make all of these and add a different flavor with the sauce. Deep Fried Strips or Cubes To deep fry pork strips or cubes, you will need vegetable oil, eggs, flour, water, and some sauce. Soy sauce is fine, or you might want to use a sweet and sour sauce. You can also use seasonings like salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Heat the oil to somewhere between 350 and 365 degrees F in a deep fryer. If you are using pork strips instead of cubes, pound them with a mallet. This makes them more tender. Combine a cup of...

If you love your chicken, you'd have definitely tasted the Japanese specialty, chicken katsu. You can find this tasty dish in most Japanese restaurants, served with crisp cabbage and rice. The accompaniment to this fried chicken is Tonkatsu sauce. The Tonkatsu is the precursor of the katsu. Japanese cooks found a way to make crisp deep-fried pork cutlets in the late 19th century. Pork meat was seasoned with salt and pepper, dipped in egg yolk, covered with Japanese bread crumbs and fried to make delicious cutlet that's crunchy on the outside and soft within. The tonkatsu is part of the Yoshoku cuisine, a Japanese cooking style that's inspired that western cuisine. There are variations to the...

I happened to find this recipe in my girl friend's collection of recipe books. It looks simple and tempting enough to make me want to try it. However when I have tried this recipe, it doesn't really tasted that nice. I think the problem might be the shortage of salt. (The original recipe doesn't make use of any salt) This recipe is similar to Japanese Tonkatsu recipe, but with the additional use of sesame seed. Sesame seed give the recipe a rich nutty flavour. Tonkatsu is a deep fried pork cutlet which many Japanese love. The crispy crust covering the juicy meat goes well with rice. A quick and simple dish for you and your family. Ingredients Cooking time: 6 minutes Serving Size: 5 pax - 5...

Roughly 75% of the business owners I speak with in any given town or city see little, if any, need for an online presence. They believe in doing business the way it's always been done, with local advertising, foot traffic, telephone book listing or advertisement, special promotions, and word-of-mouth marketing, and assume that local residents will find out about their business in these same ways. There's absolutely nothing wrong with these promotional methods, but it does create a tunnel vision view of marketing in this day and age. In September 2004, a Kelsey study found that more than 74% of respondents said they had conducted local searches and confirmed that 20% of all searches among...

Breakdowns can create breakthroughs. Things fall apart so things can fall together. I was out of my comfort zone. Walking along the sidewalk, weaving through the throng of pedestrians, brown paper bag under my arm, I ambled along trying to put a flyer in everyone's hands, as they stamped feet and blew into frozen hands waiting for the Christmas parade to begin. It must have been the look on my face, but as I'd stop to talk with people or try to catch their attention, they'd very quickly look away. After many failed attempts to connect, I stopped to evaluate what was going on, and why I couldn't hand out the flyers like I was supposed to. The flyer that I was handing out was simply a takeout menu...

It is becoming standard practice for every restaurant and takeout owner to place their information and their takeout menu online. As a busy restaurant owner, you might ask the question, why is that important to me?

One thing that can put you out of business that most owners give little thought to is not knowing how your competition wins their customers and then not responding in such a way that turns their customers into yours.

Restaurant owner, how well do you know your customers? Or perhaps I should ask: how well do you know your potential customers? What you may not know about your takeout customers is that they have silently shifted location. They are still living in your community and in homes close to your restaurant.
