The Simpsons Business Principles

Darrell Zahorsky of About.com: Small Business has come up with 5 business lessons from the Simpsons. And theStreet.com has produced a short video highlighting these principles.

1. Avoid Apu-like Hours – put systems in place, hire people, and outsource
2. “D’Oh” Yourself – Stand out from the crowd
3. Protect your “Flaming Homer” – Protect your money winners
4. Spread the Ned – Word of mouth marketing
5. Don’t Krusty a promotion – Obey the law when using promotions
