Restaurant Daily Deals: Like Get Skinny Fast Diets?

Posted on September 14, 2011 at 5:22am 0 Comments

A show of hands if you are happy swimsuit season is just about over. You're not the only one!

As the restaurant daily deal sphere drones on, I can't help but compare them to a "get skinny fast" method that people use to drop a few pounds before hitting the beach. Sure, you can probably shed a pound or two by drinking a strange, green liquid and starving yourself for 72 hours.

Hi, Josh...
Many thanks. . Yes, Jim is a good friend and respected colleague. He's one of the original "good guys" in my opinion -- a fighter for truth and *business outcomes*. His book is great stuff! Nice to know you.
