Heating Micro Spaces by Walt Barrett

   Yesterday out of curiosity, my son John and I performed some quick space heating tests using a $30.00 electric cube heater in our test bed micro home.  Its maximum output is 1500 watts and we set it on high to see how fast that we could raise the inside temperature from 40 degrees F to 70 degrees F.  The outside ambient temperature was 40 degrees as was the interior of the cube.
   The space on the first floor of our micro home is only 448 cubic feet and we closed the ceiling hatch to seal off the full sleeping loft on the second floor to save time heating that space.
   Because the Micro has not been heated, or used all winter it took us 1.5 hours to raise the temperature to 70 degrees. Once the electric  heater  heater achieved 70 degrees it just throttled back automatically and and barely ran for a couple of hours turning itself on and off as needed while we had a couple of cool ones and discussed the new composting toilet and shower module that we will be starting to build in a few more weeks.
   This was by no means a very scientific test, but it did give us a rough idea of the electrical cost in 40 degree weather from a cold start up. We will get a watt meter for our next tests. We estimated that we used about 2250 watts to go from 40 degrees to 70 degrees judging by the rating of the heater.  I have not had time to figure the heat loss of the building as we are extremely busy running our other successful green businesses.  I can tell you the the space is 8' X 8" X 7" and that because it is basically a summer camp and our solar test bed that it only has four inch fiberglass insulated walls, and five windows on the first level.  You can refer to our well known film on You Tube for construction details. How to build a micro home
   This informal test also tells me that even the tiniest of wood stoves, or vegetable oil heaters etc. would drive you out of the cube if you let them.  We have developed some very effective vegetable oil heaters and stove using used vegetable oil.
   Just as a reminder, we are using the profits from our very green products www.batterychem.biz and www.greenherondetergent.com
We are developing methods to mass produce micro homes and the related off the power grid operating systems.
We need your support in this research.  Please tell your friends about our products.
Thanks

Starting A Green Business On Your Own by Walt Barrett

   The only employer that you can ever really depend on is yourself with a few caveats that you must consider first. Do you have the required skills and horse sense to run a business?  
They say to " Stay with what you know."  If you are doubtful and lack the confidence then you must fix that problem first, or not run a business.  Do you have enough money to start even a small part time business, which I feel is the best way to start?  Like, don't quit your day job.  That can be a huge problem!  Do you have the ability to hang onto the profits and reinvest them properly into the expansion of the business?  This is done by keeping the overhead down and doing most of the work required yourself in the beginning.
 Can you take the heat when people criticize you and try to ruin, or steal your dream?
 Now I'm going to tell you about an interesting green business experiment that I started in November just to give you an example of what is possible with virtually no money.  I wanted to do something green and simple so anyone could do it. I also want to make jobs for Americans and encourage the unemployed to become self employed. 
    I have always liked green products because I have lived in the woods and have been a wildlife photographer my entire life.  So I decided to make a green liquid laundry detergent that contained natural ingredients with no scents, or dyes in it, and would not harm your septic system, or the environment.  The next thing I did was to select some all natural mineral products that are mined in the USA and I mixed up my formula.  Then we did our own test loads at home and tweaked up the formula until we were satisfied.  The next thing we did was to make up many free test samples and hand them out to all our friends and many strangers too.  Each sample was in our new dry simply add water kit form and made a gallon of liquid detergent.  We told everyone to show no mercy and not to indulge us. The results were excellent!  Many people with skin allergies love scent free, all natural non allergic detergent.
    By January we had a web page up and running with a description of our product and a very reasonable price because the dry pack makes 5 gallons of green detergent and ships in a kit that is 20 ounces.  We opted for the dry kit form because of the extremely low shipping weight thus making the product even more affordable and desirable.  We then made a calculation that we could sell the kit delivered in the lower 48 USA for only $10.95.  You can't beat the price even in the local supermarket.  We have eliminated the middleman entirely and we are creating more jobs for Americans by mining and mixing the ingredients right here in the USA.
   We started selling with our new web page in January and the sales are gradually building.  It looks very promising.  We are using Pay Pal and our credit card setup to take the orders.  I believe it will take about a year to really develop into a fully successful business.  I will continue to report - good or bad.
   Each $10.95 delivered kit contains 5 packages and each package makes a gallon of liquid detergent.  We recommend 1/3 to 1/2 a cup per load.  The new HE machines use 1/4 to 1/3 cup per load.
Like most other products, serious oil and grease stains etc. require pre-treating the stains with some of the straight liquid.  To be very honest with you I couldn't believe hoe it to the grease and oil out of the work clothes that we tested.  They looked new!
This has turned out to be a huge money saving green product that will put Americans to work and also save them a great deal of money.
   I strongly suggest that you research out a green product that you can make yourself and start your own business to gain financial security and a better income.

Affordable Solar Power Systems and Micro Homes by Walt Barrett

   I have been following the growing market for micro homes world wide for several years now and have even built a "test bed" 128 square foot model with the help of my son John who is now the CEO of our companies.  Many of these homes will be built in remote areas and will require the use of solar electric systems to provide a decent level of convenience and communications  required in this day and age.
   I listened to a report on this morning's CBS news and they were talking about how the solar module prices are dropping right now and how people in California are saving several thousand dollars on whole house solar electric systems at the present time.  This is especially good news for micro home builders because with a couple of 200 watt solar modules and a modest battery pack a person can have LED lighting, water pumping, computers and a TV easily with power to spare.  We have been testing an 800 to 1500 watt tiny electric space heater that can be used in a well designed 200 square foot micro home and it looks very promising depending on the climate.  It only costs us $30.00 to purchase.  Also the heat loss/gain number (BTU/hour) of the micro home will be a major factor.  For up to two people I favor designs up to 250 square feet on one level for convenience, especially for the elderly who use them for retirement, or vacation homes. Well designed homes in those sizes require very little energy for heating and cooling. 
   Our best selling solar product is our very low cost deep well (230 feet depth) solar water pumping system at $849.00 including the American made water pump , solar panel and Canadian made controller. Some people charge that much just for the pump!  You might ask how we can afford to sell that low, and the answer is that we own Battery Chem which is a very green battery reconditioning chemical company operating world wide and frankly we don't need the money from the solar that badly, so we have made a commitment to the solar and micro home industry to make it affordable.
   For several years we have considered mass producing a solar off grid micro home but do not see the market there yet.  We are sitting on plans for a semi automated manufacturing facility that will use new technology that we have developed, but it is too soon.  We are too far ahead of the market at this time and there is too much resistance from local governments who are seeking new ways to collect and spend more tax money and not ways to lower tax collections.  Of course, they could try spending less, but that would be unthinkable, oh horrors!
   This spring we are going to add a bathroom module to our current test bed home.  The module will include a solar power management system and a new solar battery pack with 120 volt inverter.
The lighting system uses 3 watt LED light bulbs.  We have all of the components in stock.
   We will open our solar micro home for inspection early this summer when the modifications are finished, but have no plans to mass produce it at this time. I have a feeling that many people will want to use our type of design. Our goal is to get the price of micro homes down to the level of a mid sized new automobile. Currently, most micro homes are dramatically over priced.  We have a solution for that problem.  Now if we could only solve the problem of finding inexpensive build-able land.  If a person works at home the land problem is much more solvable and I  intend to write a full report on that subject and why you should do it very soon now that I am feeling much better now as 2011 was a very tough year for my health.

Fighting The Rising Fuel Costs by Walt Barrett

   I am well and writing again.  
If you are concerned about the rising fuel prices please consider this.  Fuel prices are governed by consumption and speculators are cleaning up at our expense. There are about 300 million motor vehicles on the road, not counting trains, tractors, airplanes, power generation, ships and other equipment.  Then there is also the heating oil and chemical industry.  At three to four dollars a gallon  If every consumer could save only three gallons a week the monetary savings would be astronomical, and imagine the loss to the suppliers. Suppliers really understand about losing a billion or so dollars a week and might look for ways to be more fair with their customers.  I remember that during WWII fuel prices were controlled and in spite of the shortages speculation was not allowed and the prices were fair.  
How many gallons of fuel a week can you save?  Even a gallon would help.  And why are we not using more domestic oil and increasing our refining capacity?  If our leaders (Both parties) were legitimately concerned about our welfare they would be doing something about it and the rest of our serious domestic problems!   I don't see it coming up at the debates either.  They are too busy trying to control women and what they do with their bodies!
Try to save at least three gallons of fuel a week.  It will put money in your pockets too!  Try to plan your trips, ride share, walk, bike, and use public transportation. It's going to pay off for you in the long run.  Remember, the consumer is king and we have to fight back!  
   

How To Sell Your Own Product Or Service - Build It If You Have To by Walt Barrett

   I keep telling my friends, especially the one's who are out of work, that this is the best time for them to start a business. If you stop to think about it when you are out of a job is always the best time to start a business because you have the least amount to lose and the most amount of incentive. You can't quit a job that you don't have. Now is that pure genius, or what? Of course you don't have any money either so now you have a real incentive to get out into the swim and accomplish something for yourself instead of making someone else rich on your back. So now that we have settled that we can move on to the next step.  Now is the time to use both your brain and your imagination.

You have to sell things that people really need and want because they must have them to survive. This is not a good time to be selling frivolous and unnecessary items. Just look around you at the businesses that always seem to make money regardless of the economy. You know, basics simple stuff like food, clothing, shelter, and most of the items you find at the grocery store. These are the things that people must have. It's so easy today with the Internet to start a business because you can start a business in a storage locker, basement, or a garage if you have to. Try to stay away from food if you can because it requires a lot of special handling and sanitation. Food also can spoil whereas something like fireplace logs, or pizza oven logs only get better with age as long as you keep them dry. Now don't go out and sell pizza. There are too many pizza places already, but the firewood is bringing top dollar. I'm not suggesting that you go into the business. I just want you to follow my drift as to how I have always analyzed a business idea. Basically what I am seeing today is that most people start a business because the have seen someone else making a very good living at it. That's the way of the world today, but it's not good enough just to copy them. You have to be better. Being better is the real opportunity no matter what the product is. You have to find a way to make the product better in as many ways possible and still beat the other guy in the pricing game. People will always buy a better product at a lower price, but they also have to know that it's out there and available. You can accomplish that with the Internet in a hundred different ways.

I lived in California when Ray Crock, a restaurant equipment salesman, bought out the McDonald Brothers. I believe there were only two stores at the time. Ray was so successful that several years later he was coast to coast and there were three other copy cat stores on every corner! Well many of them departed the scene a long time ago because they could never match the price, the quality, and atmosphere of McDonald's. It's not enough to have, or copy a good idea. You have to think it out and you have to follow through. One more thing is to try to keep it simple, but always in demand.

Now having said all that I am making a little experiment in business for everyone's benefit. It's a learning experience for all of us. I believe that success could take me up to a year to prove out and I am prepared for that outcome. I have also decided that failure is not an option. I have decided to take on a very tough and competitive business. We are now manufacturing Eco Green, unscented, concentrated laundry soap in kits that make up to five gallons of liquid detergent in one batch. It's a lot less expensive to ship 19 ounces of dry mix that it is to ship over 50 pounds of water. I have thought this out very carefully we have done a great deal of free laundry around the east coast, and yes, the product has really done a great job.

Now the laundry detergent business has been around a long time and it is very successful. They have spent millions of dollars on advertising and lots of pretty colored boxes and plastic bottles. Our approach is different. We will do free ads on the Internet and everywhere else possible. We will put the dry concentrate in plastic bags and then plain little boxes, and we will ship our really great and well-tested product anywhere in the lower 48 USA for only $10.95 delivered. When the little package arrives you simply add it to warm water and dissolve the whole thing in a five gallon pail. We call it Walt Barrett's “Simply Add Water” Laundry Detergent. We can do it because we don't have anywhere near the overhead that the big guys do and always remember that! Find a niche market and fill it. Who doesn't like to save money?  Follow along with us on our Facebook page "Walt Barrett" and our web site http://www.usadepotstore.com .  This should be interesting because people can save a great deal of money with this needed green product.

Cell Phone Charging Fuel Cell Invented by A to Z Global Marketing Inc. by Walt Barrett

    A to Z Global Marketing Inc. is applying for a patent for a Multi-Fuel powered fuel cell that has just completed a four month 24 hour a day test running a reading lamp on only one of these new cells. 
   These units will create an entirely new industry of made in the USA portable fuel cell power supply products many of which will fit into one's pocket to power small devices. 
   Personally I consider them to be "The next big thing" as many people like to say these days.  They are field serviceable if it becomes necessary.
    We will soon be marketing these units to charge cell phones, play battery powered appliances, and charge electric bike and scooter batteries on the go, or when parked.  The unit runs 24 hours a day and will keep batteries charged as long as it is fueled daily with salt water, or other inexpensive chemical fuels developed by the inventor. The product is seriously needed in the undeveloped countries of the world.  We have developed mass production techniques using inexpensive materials to hold down the cost and keep the product within reach for even the poorest of people. The military applications are almost beyond the imagination and too numerous to list.  
   Larger units will eventually power electric vehicles and will be leased monthly to the vehicle owners.  Worn units will simply be swapped out in less that 30 minutes. The spent units will be refurbished and be placed back in service.  They will keep a smaller battery pack on board the vehicle charged.  Many American jobs will be created.
The project is being financed by A to Z Global Marketing Inc. who has developed and marketed millions of dollars in products since it's inception in 1995 by Walt Barrett, sole owner of the corporation
   The new fuel cell power packs will be on the market in early 2012.  The first units will provide power for lights, radios and cell phone charging in remote areas that we have already identified where there is a serious need for this exciting new product.
The product is made in the USA and will be marketed at our web site www.usadepotstore.com

Preparing for and Surviving Natural Disasters by Walt Barrett

    I have decided to do a series of short pieces about surviving natural disasters. I'll keep them short so you won't get bored.  I'm not trying to frighten anyone, but it seems that we have been having more than our share of natural disasters in the world lately.  We seem to be in some kind of a cycle.  I think that we should all take steps to prepare for bad storms and earth quakes etc.  I'm not basing my suggestions on superstition, but just on the hard facts.  It doesn't cost a fortune to put aside a stash of water that you can bottle yourself for instance, or some kind of food supplies that do not require refrigeration etc.  Home security will also be much more important if those hard times ever do come.     Again, if you live in a cold climate you better find some alternate ways to heat your home.  The heating projects can all be DIY (Do It Yourself) utilizing salvaged materials.   

   We have a lot of diesel generators in stock for our business and always keep one fully serviced on hand.  We use diesel because if we have to we can run it from our fuel oil tank.  We also stock gasoline units but prefer diesel.  We have a well so it's nice to be able to run the water pump and also to have electric lights. We are going to talk a lot more about emergency lighting in another piece. 

We'll also be talking about all the various uses of solar for survival in the very near future.

 The 5000 watt generator we use is pictured below.  

Stay tuned

Walt Barrett’s USA Depot Stores Site Adding All Made In USA Eco Green Cleaning Products by Walt Barrett

   We are building the new site this coming Monday and Tuesday for the Eco Green Laundry soap and the other new green products coming in the following weeks. The Site will be  www.usadepotstore.com and it is not pointed yet because there is no web page yet, but we have owned that domain for many years because I saw all this coming a long time ago. It is for made in USA products only. We own the manufacturing facility here in RI. All of our cleaning and washing products will be Green with no dyes, or toxic additives. We have discussed the product branding and because my name has been on the Internet for 16 years and is very well known in the green energy field for 40 years so we have decided on going with “Walt Barrett’s Eco Green Products” We need all of the leverage we can get to break into this very competitive field. To mix the concentrate properly you fill your empty pail, or jug halfway with warm water, add the dry mix and stir, or shake it until all is all dissolved, and then top off the container with more warm water. Always shake before using if you notice any settling. Do not expect suds. It is an ion exchange cleaning process. This product will not harm septic systems and contains totally natural ingredients. However, like any other laundry product you cannot eat or drink it. Our new web page will advertise the 5 gallon 2 cup dry package mix at $19.95 delivered anywhere in the lower 48 USA. It is also dividable into gallons by adding only 1/3 slightly rounded cup to a gallon of warm water. Add the dry mix first to a half gallon, shake to dissolve then fill the gallon jug up with more warm water. Please contact me with any changes, suggestions or ideas ASAP before the site goes up Monday or Tuesday. I would like to start shipping the product by next Thursday or Friday latest. BTW, everyone that I have polled with no exception prefers their product unscented. The current product has no smell at all. It’s amazing how many people prefer their laundry that way. Also, many scents can cause skin irritations. Please contact me ASAP if you are not clear on any of this. We are green, we are inexpensive, and we are 100% made in the USA and that makes us golden!

Starting A Micro Business Is Your Key To Financial Security by Walt Barrett

   Lately, I have been thinking a great deal about two entirely different problems, and what is going on in our economy at this time. The problem for people who are suffering because of the way the money is being squandered by our government, and how people are struggling to find a decent job And if they are lucky enough to have a good job, then they find that they have no “real safe place” to invest their money because the financial markets are too unstable and the banks are paying very little interest. Many people have recently lost a huge portion of their retirement money because of all the instability in the financial sector. You could work and save your entire life, and be totally wiped out in the blink of an eye. Don’t you know someone that this has happened to….maybe you?
For those of you who are already working and making a solid income, I suggest you start a Micro Business, because your spare cash can be doubled by a properly operated micro business,   You would be able to hire one or possibly several local people to do what you don’t have time to do yourself and have the satisfaction of keeping the work here in the states, and putting some Americans to work. That was our goal and that’s how we do it here.
The other problem that I see is that there are large numbers of workers with very low paying jobs, or no jobs at all. Well I believe that I have a solution for all of these concerns, and it doesn’t involve borrowing, or lending money, as that can be too risky. This is a financial experiment that I have already made several times with success.   I am sure that anyone can do it if they have the spine to do what has to be done! For lack of a better description I call it a Micro Business. 
I really discovered the idea by accident in my preteens, while living in the country in Rhode Island. My first Micro Business was when I walked a mile to the village, to pick up the Sunday paper for my parents. Many of my neighbors soon discovered what I was doing and saw me make the trip faithfully every Sunday, rain, snow, or sunshine. At that time in the mid forties, the Sunday paper was twenty-five cents, and my customers all gave me an extra twenty-five cents for delivering their paper. Pretty soon I had more spending money than I needed, because there really was no place in the woods where I lived to spend it. That was my first simple little Micro Business, and the beginning of many more to come! 
My Mother always encouraged me to have my own business.   She had set a great example by being a marvelous and talented seamstress.   She made extra money for our family, in the thirties and forties by making suits, dresses, aprons and stuffed animal toys. I used to help her by stuffing the animals, and picking out the basting stitches from the men's suits and the ladies' dresses after she sewed them together. 
My mother was a very multi-talented woman and always encouraged me in whatever I did for business ideas. 
Every fall my Mom and Dad and I would go out into the swamps and pick the raw materials for making Christmas baskets, which are very popular around New England. We cut maple whip to make the baskets and handles, spruce, hemlock and pine branches for greens, and both red and orange berries for adding color. We also picked sphagnum moss to stuff the baskets and wired the decorations to pegs and stuck the pegs into the moss to hold the decorations in place. I was still a preteen while doing all those Micro Businesses. My point here, is that by doing all of those businesses, we made a lot of money that otherwise would have been very hard to come by in the cold hard depression times. 
We also had a large vegetable garden in the summer. My Dad gave me a rifle and taught me how to use it when I was seven so I could hunt for meat.  Again, my point is that a person, or a family, has to learn how to be self-sustaining. You may not agree with the methods, but we got the job done, and went on to be very successful because we were all willing to work hard as a team!
What I learned back in those days was that in many cases you could gather raw materials that were either free for the taking, or dirt cheap to buy, and turn them into a salable item for a nice profit. 
If you are out of work, you already have a great deal of spare time, so why not use it on a micro business idea!  You can still be looking for a better job, but for the ultimate job security there is nothing like owning your own little business,  and if you happen to strike a vein of gold along the way…then all the better. No one is ever going to walk up to you at work on a Friday afternoon with an empty cardboard box, and tell you to pack up and leave, because they found someone else to do your job for less money. Now, I call that real job security…you are your own boss, you set your own hours, and you have the freedom to do what you want.
Don’t be sucked in by the Conspiracy of the Unmotivated.  Do something good for your family and yourself….start your own Micro Business:
Now let's talk about starting your own Micro Business. You don't need any serious money to start a Micro Business. Smart people start with no overhead because you can start in your apartment, home, or shed. Too many people run right out and saddle themselves with rent, special equipment, cars, employees, and on and on. Pick a simple business that requires very little space, or equipment. Always remember that Thomas Edison (General Electric) started in a small space on a railroad car, as a boy while selling various items to the train passengers. Henry Ford started in a small workshop/barn, when building his first automobiles, and the Wright Brothers and Glen Curtis both started their respective business in bicycle and motorcycle shops. So let's keep the overhead low and the sweat equity high. 




WALT’S 3 RULES FOR BUSINESS SUCCESS………
Rule #1 don’t spend more money that you take in, and always remember my favorite quote “Overhead is the monster that eats businesses”! 
Rule #2, never break rule number one. 
Rule #3, stick with the most commonly used items, and determine your market demand before you just jump in. 
Choose a product that you can produce inexpensively and sell locally, beneath the price of your major competition. Always remember that people are drawn to bargain prices but only if you produce a quality product. If you make an inferior product, the word gets around quickly and you will soon be out of business. One of the most important things to remember is that if by accident, you should have a product slip by your quality control checks and you get a complaint from a customer, do not argue about it. Take the product back and give them a new one. Even if you are working alone you always have to set up quality control standards. There is nothing like producing junk to put you out of business overnight! 
The bottom line formula is high quality + low price + low overhead = big profits. 
One last thing is that you never trust anyone else to handle your money. We see people stealing from their employers every day. There are a million ways to steal!
I am telling you all this because we are starting a chain of Micro Businesses that we can provide the expertise, raw materials inexpensively, and the business know how to make you succeed. These are not franchises. They are more like a license. As long as you purchase your supplies from our company we will advise you, solve engineering and manufacturing problems, send you sales leads when received, and allow you to use the “Walt Barrett” name which has become branded from over sixty years in business and sixteen years on the Internet. You may verify this by Goggling “Walt Barrett”, or “Walter H. Barrett”. No customer has ever lost a penny by purchasing from our companies. We are known world-wide. 
We can help you with business that we already do, or we can start you in a new business. There are literally hundreds of possibilities waiting for you to cash in on. We know how to set up a proper and profitable business. We especially encourage economically challenged people from all countries to contact us so we can help you. Again, if you purchase your raw materials from us we will not charge you for our expertise and the use of our name as endorsed by Walt Barrett etc. as one of our approved designs or methods. Please contact me so we can discuss the formation of your very own micro business. We are marketing experts.
Do not ever settle for 1% interest at the bank, or losing it all in the market when you can earn 100% of the profits in your own micro business and control your own future at the same time.


Thank you,
Walt Barrett

How to save yourself from being scammed $127.35 on a battery. by Walt Barrett

 My niece who has 3 kids to support was recently laid off for the summer came by today at my request with a sealed battery that the garage told her was no good. They said it had shorted cells. They wanted $105.00 plus labor to replace it. I took it to my workshop, peeled off the top label and found and removed rubber plugs that fit flush to the top of the battery.

I immediately noticed the low water in the battery. I added a table spoon of battery chem to each of the six cells which were all reading 2 volts each on my initial test but the electrolyte hydrometer test indicated low charges in each cell. After I added the Battery Chem, I added distilled water to each cell and recharged it. The battery now tested perfect and My niece took it home. I never charge my family so my niece saved $105.00 for the new battery, $7.35 sales tax, at least 10.00 labor plus $5.00 battery disposal charge. She was very happy having saved $127.35!

Battery Chem is the way to go!

Getting ready to market the power energy cell by Walt Barrett

   A US-based firm has invented a simple, chemical powered electricity-producing cell that can be refueled in the field with minute amounts of inexpensive simple chemical fuels...including salt water. Each cell can produce up to 2 volts at 1 amp depending on the fuel. They have developed a AA or AAA battery charger that can slow charge up to six of these batteries at one time using just one of their power cells. These are small cells similar in size to a small vitamin bottle. They can also build clusters of these new cells to provide power at 2,4,6,8,10,12, 24 volts etc as required. The higher voltage versions would be more expensive of course. The cells are also field serviceable and re loadable. They are a very green product.
They believe their cells would be best suited to charging batteries for small appliances, cell phones, battery-powered lights and electric scooters etc. They are eager to help remote cultures and communities where no electricity is available. They are seeking suggestions for possible uses and wiring configurations that would appeal to the marketplace. Your input and suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If you know of a market where folks might benefit from a new technology such as this, they would like to hear from you. Please contact Mr. Walt Barrett at:

The Importance Of Staying Focused for anyone running a business By Walt Barrett

The Importance Of Staying Focused

By

Walt Barrett

An added note to all my actor friends and motion picture professionals.  This article goes double for you. It's a tough and competitive industry.

I have personally been involved with businesses for over sixty years and there is one thing that I can tell you for sure. There are a great many glittery distractions in the business world today and no free lunches. Everyday there are new offers in the email promising to make you rich overnight. These can be major distractions that will lead you astray if you are not very careful. You must stay focused on your business and always be on the lookout for ways to improve every aspect of your company. There are several important aspects of your business that you have to focus on.

First of all you must have a very strong belief in the product that you are selling. If you do not believe in your product, or understand everything pertaining to your product you will never really succeed. You must be able to answer any questions that are asked of you by your customers. If you do not understand your own products then how can you possibly expect your customers to understand them? Secondly, you must focus on the quality and the presentation of your product. The product has to look great and it has to work. Repeat sales are the heart of any good business. You must listen to the opinions of others and weigh their suggestions very carefully and then make your decisions based upon hard facts. Never make any claims that you cannot back up by performing your own testing. There is an ongoing war in the present day marketplace and you either have the spine to participate, or be prepared to lose. Now who wants to lose? I certainly don't!

If you want to succeed in selling any product then you must focus on every aspect of marketing and never take your eye off the target. The target in this case is your future customers. Marketing is just a fancy word and all it means is that you must have a big mouth and an advertising presence that allows you to tell the entire world about your product. There is nothing scary or difficult about selling a product. All you have to do to sell a great product like Battery Chem is to tell the story to as many people as you possibly can. Again, focus on the most likely markets for the product. You may have to do some free demonstrations and give away some free sample packs, but it works. It's just another form of advertising which equals marketing – same thing in my book. All the big guys give away samples and do free demos to introduce a great new product. That's why the movies have previews. Did you ever go to the fairgrounds, or the flea market and see the Lady with the new Red Cadillac convertible, a stack of cans of Carnauba Car wax, and her helper is polishing the hood? Now that's marketing in its most basic form and it works! That lady is rich!

There are so many ways that you can use to focus on advertising/marketing it can make your head spin! You have the Internet which is free with all the options of using our freely supplied videos and all the free classified ad sites. You have local free shoppers guides and newspapers that have low-cost classified ads. I like classified and have better luck with them than I ever did with expensive display ads. There are magnetic signs and decals that you can place on your cars and trucks. I like tail gate ads myself. There are business cards and sales calls you can make in person or on the phone. It just goes on and on and all you need is to stay focused and also have the spine to do it. I'm 78 and I had to start all over again at 62. It wasn't easy, but I did it. No company is ever going to help you any more than my company. I know what it is like to be broke and flat on my butt. I personally care about everyone involved with our company and all I will ever ask you to do is meet me half way and stay focused!

Battery Chem Service And Sales Tips By Walt Barrett President

Battery Chem Service And Sales Tips

By

Walt Barrett President

We have been getting a lot of questions lately on a few things that some of our dealers are not clear on. Also, I have a few comments.

1. It is OK to add Battery Chem to a battery even if the battery is still installed in the vehicle. However, I strongly suggest that you remove and clean the battery cable ends and battery terminals. It is much safer to work with the battery cables removed anyway. Always wear full face protection and protective clothing in case of a freak explosion. No smoking, flames, or sparks either. Always remove the ground cable first and replace it last to prevent sparking. Batteries make hydrogen gas when charging and hydrogen gas is explosive. Always work in a well ventilated area. A fan blowing over the battery area is very helpful too. I have also bored hole in sealed batteries right in the engine compartment, but be sure the battery cables are disconnected.
2. When selling your customer a new battery in the case where his old battery is too far gone to recondition always have him purchase a new battery with screw type filler caps. If he wants to purchase a reconditioned battery from you that is fine as you will have bored into the cells and put the new caps in it anyway. Always remind your customers that Lead Acid batteries have to be checked for water every 30 days for sure. Distilled water should be added to at least 1/8 of an inch above the plates. Do not over fill. Personally, I do not have much regard for so-called sealed maintenance free Batteries. I have opened up far to many that went bone dry in a year. Especially in very warm climates. We offer a tool for converting sealed batteries to serviceable batteries. If you open up a battery that is very dry inside you should add distilled water and give it a quick charge before testing for dead cells. You will be surprised at how many of these batteries will come back to life. Then you can add the Battery Chem. Adding water and proper charging can double the life of a battery. Actually, if you could go into any government installation where there are lead Acid Batteries you would see a sign and a service log on the wall in the battery area requiring water checks every 30 days and a sign off on the log. This is a major must do on all-electric forklift batteries too. Batteries fail when they are neglected and abused. The terminals should be leaned at least twice a year. My wife just took her car to the dealer for an oil change last week and they wanted $48.00 to do the “battery maintenance” which involves cleaning the terminals and adding water. We do that ourselves in about ten minutes total and we add battery chem twice a year to all of our vehicles. We get as much as 11 years from our batteries. It is worth the effort to maintain your batteries and the consumer must be constantly reminded. It's also well with the effort to buy batteries with screw type service caps,
3. This is the Battery Cell Boring Tool. If you need it from us you can have it shipped with your next order. We also sell the necessary caps too. The caps and all the other supplies may be ordered at our site http://www.batterychem.biz

Building Off The Land by Walt Barrett

   You know there is something a lot of people have lost sight of and that is that a great many people still build homes with the building materials that they find right on the very land where they are going to place their home, or shelter. I see nothing wrong with this idea and as a matter of fact my parents built the foundation of our micro home from stone and mortar in 1929 and that foundation is still as good as the day they built it. We also have some very rugged oak posts in that cellar and they are holding up the main beam for the center line of the first floor. All the walk ways in the yard are made from flat stone and all the garden walls too. Every bit of the stone was dug up on the property and believe me we could never get enough of it. We built everything we could from stone. When they dug and blasted the well they used that stone in the foundation. They did all the work with no electricity and only hand tools.

People used to build entire homes and small factory buildings right here in town from stone using a quick process called “Slip forming,” Google it.

Most of our older buildings have hand-hewn and sawed timbers in them as the major part of their construction. Even the roof shingles were split from cedar logs. In the southwest most homes were built from adobe bricks. Adobe is a wonderful green form of well insulated construction. Even the floors were adobe. Nancy and I were recently visiting the Mission at San Juan Capistrano in California and they have preserved the adobe brick making operation there. I think that adobe is overlooked by far too many people. It is a great DIY material.

I believe that people have become far to dependent on major supply houses for their building materials. Think more about stone and timber and mud but with a modern-day twist to bring it up to standard. You may be low on funds, but you always have time if you use it wisely. My parents took about four years to completely finish their home, but we are still using it 82 years later. Thank you Mom and Dad!

God gave most of us two hands, a big brain, and an imagination to go with it. That's a pretty great set of tools in my book. He meant us to use them to the fullest extent, and he didn't mean for wasting time texting, or surfing the Internet either. He meant for us to use them to build a life and not to sit around feeling sorry for ourselves.

Walt
