Shashi Bellamkonda has a great post on the Smartblog for Restaurants on his tax-free lunch plan.    Key quote from his blog post: "President Barack Obama and Congress could join together to pass a law that allows any taxpayer spending $1,000 at restaurants in 2011 to write off that amount." His plan is simple.

At first the consultants picked their own hotels and put the cost through their expenses and as you can imagine their choice of hotels varied wildly and so did the price. Once the recession really hit home my Director’s budget was cut quite drastically and she asked all of us to think of ways to cut back on costs.

To keep the 76,000-square-foot store running with only 120 employees, down 40% from the prior year, and with 50% fewer staff in the restaurant, they had to find efficiencies like streamlining the restaurant menu. My dad told me: ‘Rick, if you want the restaurant to run well, be in the restaurant.’ Great advice.”

Employees who are confronted with the pressure to “fit in” at business networking events by drinking, may find they start to reach for alcohol more and more. If you’re in a bar or restaurant, it feels socially acceptable to drink. I think shows like ‘Mad Men’ do factor into the idea of drinking and the workplace.

Some others are so obsessed about reducing costs that they just hold back on spending until they earn money. The important principle is not to spend excessively, while at the same time not scrimping on necessary costs. The question I usually ask myself is this – Does this affect the value I can deliver to my audience?

The Shrink for Entrepreneurs

A few weeks ago, I spent some time at a networking event for entrepreneurs. First time I had formally “networked” in years - I normally detest networking events, since they’re usually 100% full of consultants looking for clients. In other words, a networking event is the business equivalent of a nightclub filled with men.
