to explore to search for new value propositions.
We have already covered reducing clients' costs and reducing clients' hassles.
We're going to present today the direction that we call "Find non-clients".
Let's first understand what we mean by non-clients with an example.

Most hotel rooms in the world will have a mini bar.
The mini bar will most probably look like this.
It's a small fridge hidden behind a wooden door.
maybe find the key if it's locked, bend low to open it.

and always with a bitter aftertaste.
tourists never use the mini bar.

The experience is so painful that they say: no, thank you, this is not for me.

In most industries, there is a significant amount of conscious non-clients.

In this context, we're not so interested by those.

Another interesting example are Andre Rieu's concerts.
First of all, let's watch the following video on YouTube.

So, where do they go?
about which customers are always disappointed?
This was direction number three.


Hi, I'm Reeves, twenty-something interior design and furniture lover fixing up furniture whenever I have the chance! I started this blog for a school project my senior year of high school to update pictures and steps of pieces I have done. My interest in upcycling and repurposing began a couple years prior. The first project I did myself was turning an old, weathered door into my headboard (note the name). Over the past few years I've focused on making over furniture, which I sell locally, and sharing my process, mistakes, and triumphs along the way.
My goal is to find quality, unique pieces and put my own twist on them. I want this blog to be a place where people can find information and inspiration. Information on resources, DIY projects, how to paint and refinish pieces, as well as tutorials and videos, and inspiration for fresh ways to customize your pieces and home. I share Before & After posts on each piece I complete along with resources related to tools, blogging, and photography. Whether you are a regular reader or just stopping by, I'm happy you're here.
If you have any questions, email me and I would be happy to answer them!

Each summer during the first week of August, the Our Lady of the Valley community comes together to facilitate a fair booth at the Union County Fair. Parishioners support the effort by serving in a leadership role as the main organizers, serving on the fair booth committee, preparing the booth, working in the booth, counting money, closing down the booth, and donating food items.
Many parishioners and community members enjoyed stopping by the booth for all meals of the day or snacks, including pancakes, eggs, biscuits and gravy, hamburgers, hotdogs, fresh fruit, pies, and refreshing drinks! Thank you to everyone who contributed in different ways to make the 2016 fair booth a success!

Hey ya'll what's going on?
It's Sunday afternoon - well Sunday evening I guess I should say. It's 5:27 p.m. as I start this. It's been a busy day. Backing up to yesterday...it was an awesome much needed quiet domesticated kind of day. Mainly doing laundry, cleaning the kitchen, putting things up, cleaning off the dining room table. (Was going to hold off til our house was back in order before having company but the Lord has other plans. I'm just saying "yes thru the mess", lol.) There's nothing He can't handle including a messy table and house, and I am just absolutely thrilled to be doing a Beth Moore Bible study in my home. We'll be doing "Entrusted". My SIL is coming too. I hope Katy will join us if she can. So far there are three of us, and 4 if Katy joins. My neighbor said she will bring snacks this week. I'm sure I'll rustle up something as well - maybe popcorn during the video.
So I just started another one. I'll have to update my side bar.
While we were away last week, our church started a study. We missed getting our book. One of the elders is going to try to get a book for us. How awesome is that. It would be no charge through the church. But no big deal, we can buy one if needed.
So wow, God is really hitting us hard - he's showing up in a lot of places and I'm saying "yes" to everywhere so far. This world is so awful. It's a comfort to say "yes" and it is a comfort to be "armed" in the best way possible.
We listened at the "feet" of one of the elders today in Sunday School. I love to hear him talk. We were all quiet as he spoke. His words dear to hear. Such a likable fellow too. So sincere. And it's as if he is ordained - b/c you can just feel the Spirit around him.
George and I went to Publix after that and got some groceries for this week. He did not get anything much for himself. I bought some things for us this week so we'd have some healthy things to eat for dinner. I don't really buy much anymore for breakfast and lunch. I did buy a can of tuna and a salad kit. But I bought some stuff for us to have a good salad at home one night. Which we can have baked sweet potatoes with.
Monday night I'll be doing the cleanse and will go buy the Beth Moore videos, and will come home and marinate chicken, cut the bell peppers up, and make the cilantro lime dressing for our "Power Bowls" for Tuesday night. It has quinoa, red and yellow bell peppers, black beans, corn, and chicken that is stir fried that has been marinated, and then pour the cilantro lime dressing over it. I saw it on "Keep your Day Dream" (YouTube RV Traveling Family) and it is one of the things they fix often that their family loves so I thought I'd try it.
Oh I bought these just for fun to do the Beth Moore study with. Did I need it? No...But I'll doodle with it and it'll make me feel like I'm starting school again. You know how I like to do a project up right!
It was a good deal though. 6 No bleed underliners for your Bible or book, 3 pens, and a mechanical pencil and iTouch ends for use on your ipad or iphone. lol I'm so geeky.
As promised, here are the books George bought for me last week. That was so sweet of him to think of me.
I keep buying books. I love to read and learn. I just don't have time to get 'em read. But I'm trying!
I keep three going at a time. And now with all the Spiritual reading it'll take a bit longer. But that is ok. God knew I needed a focus right now. I knew some thing was coming. Well a LOT of things are coming. But He knew I needed some focus, some solidity, some security, and quite frankly a New Plan. I have such an adventurous spirit which is strange because I really like being at home. Our constant plans have always kept me busy and and having a vacation or trip planned has always kept me feeling ......it's hard to describe....but that has been the carrot that dangles, the thing that I needed, the excitement to focus on, the adventurer in me taken care of....I'm not quite sure how to explain it. And I miss that right now. Do you know how many times I've wanted to plan the next trip? And then nearly slapped myself in the face b/c we can't do that right now while we are limbo b/w jobs. And then there is just all that "not suredness" <-------new word I guess, of now knowing how it will turn out, with Katy moving too - away from us, and then just trying to figure out what the next chapter is. And with George b/w jobs is now the time to do something completely different. Or could we or would we? Or do we save that for a few years later. What do we really want to do?
There are a few avenues of life that have greatly disappointed me and I try not to dwell on those. I suppose that all of us do. But I'm ok. I do have some dreams and goals of mine that I'm not sure coincide with what George's are. So I'm not sure how to handle that.
Mainly, I like to travel, I like to have a neat and functional house, that is somewhat modern in style, (I love to decorate), I love to shop a little bit, I love to eat out and try new cuisines and new restaurants in the culinary scene....and we've been able to do so much in the last few years. It's been really fun. Now it seems we are at an abrupt stop. I really enjoy being home but I also enjoy the things afore mentioned. So my energies when I look to the future and plan as I do - feel rather emptied and scattered. And I feel a bit sad, a little frustrated, although I'm trying not to be. I guess it's just me dealing with change. Of course you know I pour out my heart here. So I am doing so at risk of sounding selfish and needy and greedy. But it's just my feelings of adventure and curiosity being turned off by a valve. It's ok. I'm just acknowledging those feelings I guess, is what I'm trying to say. I love being home too. So God knew my mind needed to be occupied with my eyes upon Him. And I know that if I focus on Him and do what He wants me to, that He will see to it that the desires of my heart is fulfilled.
Does He love me? Is He there for me? That was our 1st lesson or so in the book "Believe" above by Randy Frazee. He does love me and He does look out for me and He will be there for me even if no one else is. Even if everyone leaves me sitting here. It's all gonna be ok. I can't control everything around me that is changing. I can't control the hearts of others or what they desire. Even if it's NOT me, lol, I can't control that. But one thing I do know is that God does and He is here and that's all I need to know for now.
And there will be trips, and fun times, and good cuisine, and hopes and desires, and goals met. The road is open, the mind is clear, the dreams roll on and all of it will happen, and all the desires of my heart as long as I turn over my heart in the right direction.
I know I'm never happy. It's just the adventurous spirit within me. It has to be entertained.
sometimes we have to tame the adventureous side in ourselves for just a while. soon you'll be back to the adventure. here's hoping george finds a new job sooner rather than later. it was sweet he got you the books. enjoy your bible study.
I like to think that Life is a beautiful adventure. Truly, when you think about life as an adventure and the journey it takes us on is one amazing trip for sure. Hope your books and studies will help. I've not done a good Bible study in a while but do have one that is not quite finished called Children of the Day by B.Moore. You've encouraged me to get back into it and finish up.


The storage dam holds a defined volume of water that is classed according to reliability. This means that a high reliability water share has a high chance of receiving full seasonal allocation, whilst a low reliability water share has a low chance of receiving full seasonal allocation.
In simpler terms, the first water that is captured in the new irrigation season is allocated back to the entitlement holder that owns high reliability water shares and when the high reliability water shares have reached 100% allocation and existing commitments satisfied, then the Resource Manager will look at seasonal allocation for low reliability water shares.
Trading rules exist and are amended by the Minister for Water to ensure that trade is encouraged with no negative impacts to other users within the system or the environment. The basis of the trading rules are whether a water entitlement in one catchment or system can be delivered to another system, and act to assist the Water Authorities in ensuring this occurs.
Forward water is the ability to purchase water allocation water (temporary) in future irrigation seasons at an agreed price and an agreed time frame. This allows for planning of budgets and cropping with assurance as to water price and delivery. The buyer risks paying a premium price for water but considering the volatility of the market, can be a comforting plan for your business.
Each Water Authority has a Watering System that allows you to either log in or call up to order Water. Modernised systems require 48 hours for water delivery whilst modern systems only require 24 hours. These systems allow for you to monitor your ABA Account and better manage your water requirements with the Water Authority.
A delivery share is an entitlement to have water delivered to land in an irrigation area. It gives you access to a share of the available capacity in the channel or piped network that supplies water to your property. A Delivery Share is defined by a rate of megalitres per day (ML/day).
A delivery share is tied to the land and stays with the property if it is bought or sold. Delivery shares do not transfer off the land when the water shares are sold.
In July 2006, 12 months prior to the unbundling of land and water, Goulburn Murray Water introduced the rule that when water shares (previously called permanent water) were sold off the farm, the infrastructure costs stayed with the farm. Infrastructure costs referred to the cost of the channels/piping of the water. Once land and water unbundled in July 2007, infrastructure costs were renamed to Delivery Shares.
The benefit of a Delivery Share is that in periods of high demand on a channel system, the delivery share rate is used by the Water Authority to determine how deliveries are rationed.


There is an F1 race meeting taking place next weekend, and yet I'm not thinking about who might be quick there, who the likely winners are and what it would all mean for the championship. My thoughts are elsewhere. Frankly, I'll just be mightily relieved if, come the Monday following the race, the whole thing has passed off without something unpleasant or tragic happening in or around it.
I can barely think of another F1 race I've anticipated in such a way. Even the Monaco Grand Prix of 1994, which followed on from the blackest of black weekends at Imola that year, isn't quite on the same level. My trepidation then was for safety of the drivers in the course of their driving, and they at least get involved the sport knowing such dangers to themsleves are, at the broadest level, inescapable.
This time it's different. The apparent risk is on all of the people involved in the sport - team members, media, track workers and others - as well as some not even involved in F1 directly, who could well be being placed in potential danger.
The FIA confirmed yesterday that the scheduled Bahrain Grand Prix will indeed take place next weekend, and that they're satisfied with the security arrangements in place. This is despite the continuing regular reports of protests and civil unrest in Bahrain, as well as allegations of brutal repression of it, and the resultant wider pressure to cancel the event.
I make no claim to be an expert on what exactly is happening in Bahrain, and given we live in an age of social media and the like we're being subjected to a barrage of claim and counter claim from both 'sides' of the debate which - without wishing to judge or dismiss collectively - is next to impossible to judge the veracity of in many cases.
Also, for the purposes of forming my view I'm parking whatever moral misgivings I might have about the Bahraini regime and its conduct (even though that many of the wider public perceive that by holding the race F1 is siding with repression for the sake of chasing the dollar, which isn't good). Indeed, F1 is not in a strong position to make moral judgments about the country. For one thing, it would be hypocritical in the extreme to do so. Even a cursory glance at an F1 calendar will tell you that Bahrain is not the only country visited, either now or in the past, about which questions could be raised, and establishing where to 'draw lines' is never easy (though F1 seems a lot more reluctant to draw a line at all than are most entities).
Further, it's not as if reasons for moral concerns about the Bahraini regime started last February on the 'Day of Rage': the country did not become undemocratic or oppressive suddenly on that day. And F1 was nevertheless content to turn up there for a race each year, we were content to watch them and, to give a wider example, McLaren were content to let Mumtalakat, the Bahrain Government's investment arm, acquire 50% of their business's shareholding.
But security is another matter, and it's for this reason that I am trepidant of this weekend's Bahrain Grand Prix meeting and take the view that it should not go ahead. It strikes me that by not cancelling the event F1 is taking an incredible risk, not only to the welfare of those involved in the sport and more widely, but to its own future health as a sporting entity. Potentially, F1 is putting its own head into a noose. And the potential reward of holding the race to counterbalance the risk is not nearly sufficient.
Of course, those who made the decision to carry on with the event have access to more information than I have (indeed, the FIA statement yesterday mentioned a 'fact-finding mission' undertaken by Jean Todt at which he met 'a large number of decision-makers and opinion formers' from both 'sides'). But we do know for a fact that there have been protests in Bahrain against their governing regime which continue and are active, we also know that some protesters and others have died, and that some have been imprisoned (and that torture has been alleged). We also know that for some protesters the F1 race has become a focus for their discontent (the content of some of their graffiti shows us that), most probably due to the governing regime's close association with the event.
With this, the security risks to the F1 event and all associated with it are obvious, as well as real and immediate. For example, it will only take one protester to decide that the global audience of an F1 event is too good an opportunity to miss drawing attention to their cause in an extreme fashion to give us a catastrophic outcome on several levels. Indeed, it may not even take pre-ordained malice: peaceful protests in a tense situation can very quickly become non-peaceful, due to the actions either of protesters or authorities. It could even be that the F1 event taking place has a generally incendiary impact on the unrest, resulting in a general escalation.
And if any of these sorts of things happen, the implications are equally obvious. In addition to any human tragedy, the impact on F1's image and health could be colossal, resultant from disgust in how the sport did not heed the warnings and helped to put people at risk, apparently just to secure money. At times like this F1 seems to forget how vulnerable it is. In addition to any lost fans, there are sponsors, manufacturers, media outlets and the like who to a large extent sustain F1. And these could abandon at a moment's notice and thus pull the rug from beneath the sport. Such decisions to withdraw are made in boardrooms, there's little sense of obligation to F1 or to motor sport in those, and the decision could be made in minutes.
Yes, there is a lot of money on offer to F1 and its teams from undertaking the event, and Bahrain, and the Middle East more generally, has a lot of financial and other investments in F1 and in motor sport more generally (indeed, a member of the Bahraini royal family sits on the FIA's World Motor Sport Council). There also may be an 'invisible hand' of geopolitics influencing this, what with Bahrain's importance as a 'western-friendly' Middle Eastern country, and to the siting of naval bases and the like (and haven't the UK Government been quiet in public about this issue? Odd given it's many of their citizens possibly at risk in this case).
But assuming it isn't all explained by influence from the corridors of power, it's difficult to see how in any sort of risk-reward analysis the benefits of holding the race this year, financial and otherwise, even begin to outweigh the associated risks to the sport, the people in it and others. And if FOM's contracts with race organisers don't have sufficient 'force majeure' clauses to allow F1 to withdraw gracefully from holding a race in circumstances as we have now then they need to fire whoever's drafting their contracts, frankly. Further, presumably Bahraini money is not offered out of benevolence, the regime presumably sees something in it for them from their investment, so it's hard to envisage them disappearing from motor sport overnight even if this year's Grand Prix was to be cancelled. I've also heard it said that the Bahrain race could help 'heal' or 'unify' Bahrain as a country. But this surely is a leap of faith, rather overestimates F1's power in nation building as well as is, to be blunt, not F1's problem.
Of course, it could be that I'm worrying over not very much, and/or that the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend goes off without a hitch. But even if this is the case I can't see how anyone currently can say with confidence that the likelihood of such problems occurring are sufficiently low to justify the event going ahead. It would require a much longer period of calm for us to establish this sufficient confidence level. It strikes me that there is instead a large dosage of hoping to 'get away with it' at work. Because of this, even if it transpires that nothing unpleasant happens in or around next weekend's Grand Prix meeting I still will not accept that the risk of holding this Bahrain race has been justified.
