      <image:title>NEWSLETTER - I'm shutting one down. - I'm shutting one of the fourteen down. Bloomin' Blinds, the window treatment franchise I own in North Austin. Revenue was fine. It never made money. It came down to labor, which is where most of these decisions actually land. Here's the problem with blinds. About half a dozen major manufacturers, and each one has hundreds of product lines underneath it. Different fabrics, different automation, different repair mechanics. Somebody has to hold all of that in their head or the job doesn't work. So you hire a tech and you spend real months and real money teaching him all of it. He gets competent. Then he leaves, and every dollar of that training walks out with him. Same with sales. You start over. My techs and salespeople kept shuffling, and I never got anybody far enough up the curve to earn back what it cost to get them there. That's where the margin went. Not to a competitor, not to pricing. To turnover. And none of it is visible on the top line. Revenue was coming in the whole time. Jobs were getting done. If you only looked at the number most owners look at, the business was working.</image:title>
