Yastrow Rules!
Steve
posted recently on dealing positively with the recession by doing
better by your existing customers—and thus getting more of
their business. Well, here's some nice support for Steve's view
(and a useful quote). Horst Schulze is the legendary former Ritz-Carlton
chief—father of "ladies and gentlemen serving ladies
and gentlemen." He's come out of retirement to launch a luxury
brand of small hotels. Here in Macau, I came across an interview
with Horst in Prestige magazine (06.08). He directly addressed,
with aplomb, the issue of starting a new business during a recession:
"I [will] not accept the explanation of a recession negatively
affecting the [new] business. There are still people traveling.
We just have to get them to stay in our hotel."
More
or less took the words out of Steve Yastrow's mouth. (And words
with which I agree heartily.)

Thanks,

I'm
in a "generative" mood at the moment—happens to
old guys (& gals) upon occasion. I simply want to acknowledge
all the great posts from The Yas (Steve Yastrow); I saw that a recent
one on Global Warming had elicited 64 comments. Nice. (No matter
what your view is.)
