    Home Business: “They” Aren’t Always Right

    When it comes to your home business, it is important to consider opinions of professionals. But it is also important to realize that "they" aren’t always right. Over at Ledership Turn, Miki Saxon has some great quotes about some experts who were wrong.

    My favorite? The Mrs. Field’s Cookies warning: “A cookie store is a bad idea. Besides, the market research
    reports say America likes crispy cookies, not soft and chewy cookies
    like you make.”

    I am quite partial to soft and chewy cookies. Crispy cookies are hard and make a mess.

    Hi Miranda, You're right. Experts should be accompanied by multiple grains of salt and chewy cookies are good for avoiding crumbs, especially necessary when eating in bed.

    Of course, I never met a chocolate chip cookie that didn't have at least one redeeming characteristic:)
