Ok, so technically Jo March is a character from my favorite book “Little Women”. However, there have been movie versions of “Little Women” & sometimes they show these movies on TV so it still counts. I was watching “Little Women” the other day & I couldn’t help but wonder, what would Jo March do? I’ve been having some problems in my business & have been wondering if I should try to change my industry altogether, or just be prepared for lean times.

I was struck with the storyline of how Jo started writing for trashy magazines. She eventually decided not to sacrifice her work just for money. She moved home, (for an entirely different reason) & just started writing a book about the things that she knew. This also happened to Anne of Green Gables, another heroine of mine. I’m sure that there are a lot of lessons about being a writer from Jo March, I just have to figure out what they are.

This isn’t really a life lesson. Well, it’s an advertising lesson. If you are selling food, don’t gross people out with your product. I was watching a pizza commercial, (I think it was pizza at least, the experience was so traumatizing that I’ve partially blocked the entire event).

For some reason it showed a lot of guys with beards made out of Oreo & frosting. It’s the first time I’ve seen Oreos look disgusting. First off, facial hair is rarely attractive. Secondly, it’s even worse when the facial hair is made out of food. I would’ve loved to have been in the marketing meeting where that was the best idea, I can’t imagine what they threw out.
