As I am in conversations with leaders across various disciplines, there is a consistent conversation and temptation. Each longs to be successful, to rise to the top of the pile. Entrepreneurs, community organizations, and churches want to do well. So we look for those who we have deemed successful. The Fortune 500 of our industry, and we emulate them. We try to walk the way they walk, and talk the way they talk, market the way they market, and organize like they do. And in the process we lose ourselves.

In retirement, I do a little bit of micro-consulting to help startup businesses. One of my areas of expertise happens to be franchising, because before retirement I had franchised the company that I founded. One question I get quite a bit from small business owners that have a great business model, and lots of customers is; “should I franchise my business, how do I know when I’m ready?” Well, there are a lot of things that you must have in order to make a successful franchising company.

In the world of four wheel driving, most people know about winches and snatch straps. They are very different in many ways (including the price) but will achieve very similar outcomes. A Snatch Strap is basically a long strap with some elasticity in it, allowing the strap to stretch up to 20% of its length. The idea behind these is simple – when a four wheel drive is stuck, you attach the strap to rated recovery points on both vehicles and one vehicle pulls the other out. The advantage of a strap that can stretch is that you can get a run up and when the strap takes up it will stretch and the energy is slowly applied to the stuck vehicle. If you did it with a rope that didn’t stretch, it would either snap or it would put some serious shock onto both vehicles.

The economy is still tough and many people are having difficulty making ends meet, let alone have the money to buy a new car. In times like these consumers place a high premium on value and that’s where the Nissan Versa delivers. It is by far one of the most affordable small vehicles on the market and starts at just around $10k. The interior offers enough room to seat five adults. A sportier looking hatchback version is available at an additional cost. Competitors of the Versa in the affordable compact niche include the Kia Soul, Kia Forte and Honda Fit.

Body kits are used to give the car looks amazing from the outside. Typically, these kits are the body parts of a car. It makes the car different from others, both new and fresher look. Automotive kits are generally fiberglass or polyurethane. In extreme cases, the use of carbon fiber, which is famous for its light weight.

Polyurethane kits are more demanding when treated with carbon fibers, because polyurethane has a tendency to be more resistant. They can withstand very cold season and it is also very thick at the seams, but on the other hand, carbon fiber is very expensive due to its low weight, but they are not as reliable as the kits are made of polyurethane.
