Great Job Security

I used to be an inside salesman. My job was to sell via phone and online, and to support several outside salespeople as well.

One day, one of the outside guys was in the office, and he and I were discussing clients. “I dunno how you do it,” he said. “Being chained to a desk all day? I couldn’t do it.”

We finished our chat, got a nice lunch on the company, and went our separate ways. But that “chained to a desk” comment stuck with me, and later that afternoon, in a seemingly endless meeting, I drew up the above cartoon.

Is Getting an MBA Wasting Time and Money?

What if the “is getting an MBA worth it” question isn’t really a matter of money? What if it depends on who you are, where you are, what resources you have, and what you want?

Penelope Trunk posted Why an MBA Is a Waste of Time and Money recently on BNET. She lists seven reasons, all of which are about how much money you won’t make if you stop your career to get an MBA. A couple are sad and true (an MBA doesn’t make you an entrepreneur, and doesn’t increase your earning power unless it’s from a top-10 school), a couple of them obvious, and a couple of them whimsical and interesting (it makes you look desperate and puts off the inevitable).

Penelope Trunk is a good writer and successful entrepreneur. She has a knack for bringing up real issues and she thrives on controversy. As proof of that you can try her own list of rants, or, perhaps even more telling, the titles of this list of her BNET posts. (Anybody who can post something on BNET titled Forget the Job Hunt.

Is it Possible That MBAs, Like Wine, Need Aging?

It occurs to me that I’ve had many good experiences, with hires and colleagues and business contacts, with people who had MBA degrees and years of experience. And I’ve had generally bad experiences with young MBAs fresh out of business school.

You could guess the reasons. Arrogance and entitlement come to mind.

Maybe it’s a matter of seasoning or tempering that fresh knowledge with some of the battering that comes later. Arrogance and entitlement leave a lot of sharp edges that time and experience wear down.

I am no different. As I got older, I found that my MBA studies gave me a better vision of the whole business, the forest as well as the trees; and I was glad for that. I’m sure that it helped me in business and was worth its weight in money many times over. And what I got from the degree wasn’t a higher salary, it was the knowledge to make my way on my own.

On the other hand, fresh out of business school, I recruited into a fancy and prestigious position with McKinsey Management Consulting, and I fell flat on my face. I disliked them, and they disliked me. (I did a

Research Roundup: Big Picture, Little Picture

August was crowded, as far as small business research goes. So, without further ado, here’s a good sampling:

Devil in The Details

Verizon released a survey late last month which found that larger-revenue small businesses are more likely to have Web sites than smaller- revenue firms — at least, within limits.

They found that 56 percent of firms with revenues between $250,000 and $750,000 have company Web sites, while a much more substantial 73 percent of firms earning between $750 and $2 million have company Web sites.

There were also a number of drop-dead-obvious findings, like the fact that having a Web site makes you better at estimating how much time it takes to maintain one, and some stuff that could make your eyes cross, like the fact that you’re less likely to know how to attract customers to your Web site if you don’t have one.

It would have been interesting to see how even lower-revenue firms (under $250,000) would have fared with this survey. I suspe

Shipping out of Province: Should You Charge Them HST?

I’m still getting lots of mail about GST and HST, mainly about whether businesses should be charging GST (the Goods and Services Tax), HST (Harmonized Sales Tax), PST (Provincial Sales Tax) or what when they ship goods and/or services out of province.

For instance, K.S. writes:

I am a little confused on the HST rules. We are a business based in Quebec. If a supplier from Ontario ships us merchandise to our plant in Quebec, should they invoice us HST and QST on top of HST?

The taxes you charge depend on where you’re shipping to.
