You work years to build a reputation. It only takes a few minutes (now with
the Internet it's only a few seconds) of derogatory remarks to erase all
that. I have said it all on this site before and am only reiterating Bill's
comments. It's unfortunate that most businesses have the expertise of their
stock in trade but not enough expertise in managing the business itself.
That is the most important part. I can only imagine what Speedtweaks has
gone through. I will sit still, be quiet, and watch this thing through as I
have watched many others. Before you guys start flaming, I will admit that,
if Speedtweaks owed me money or parts at this point in time (having read
other missiles) I might not feel quite as generous. For you other folks who
are thinking about or are in the middle of your own business, if you don't
have a degree in Business Administration, you should consider getting some
serious advice from someone who has that degree (not me, I'm talking about a
professional). Business ethics is business ethics. It hasn't changed since
the greedy human has been placed upon this Earth.

Guys,
I know a lot of you guys are pissed off at Bernd BUT how many of you
have started up a new business on a shoe string and had everything go wrong
at once.
BE IT KNOWN> I am not taking up for Bernd or anybody else but until you know
all the circumstances. Personal/Health problems can ruin any business.
Running a business is a 24/7 job and takes a mental toll on you, if you
don't
believe it just try it.
You don't own a business" It owns YOU"
I know Bernd made some errors in judgment and has learned from them.
Now his biggest problem is to get things back on track and get you guys your
refunds or parts PLUS pay off his suppliers. This ain't going to be easy
unless Ross Perot comes to the rescue. I, Personally would not like to be in
his shoes right now because I know he's catching hell from all sides. I
don't
think he'll write you guys off and say to hell with you. Just be optimistic
and have faith. Bill
"Sir
Bill"
