Small Business Reality Show – “We Mean Business”
Baby boomer business owners, Gen Y business owners, and everyone in between needs help with their businesses. And a new business reality show on A&E is here to help. The show: “We Mean Business” (sponsored by Dell). The episode I watched was about a Baby Boomer named Doug of Outback Catering. Doug needs to get his 20-year-old catering business back on track.
The format: kind of a “make-over” show for businesses. You know the kind. Like “trading spaces” and “extreme home makeover.” Only for businesses.
The people: Business owners with attitude and 3 experts with more attitude. Bil Rancic, the original “Apprentice” winner; Peter Gurski, a designer who has appeared on HGTV, and Katie Linendoll, of Home Shopping Network, a techie guru. None of them are over 40. What do they know?
I thought the experts were preachy and the owners negative about changes. Why did they call these guys in the first place? Well, it might be worth a look, just for fun, and you might find a business you find appealing. Maybe I’m just way over my limit on reality shows. Let me know what you think.

How could I get my business featured?

Good question. I would contact the A&E network, or, better yet, contact Dell. I’m guessing your business problem needs to be able to be solved with computers/computer networking for them to consider it.
