SELaplana >> Personal >> Save Money with Jason “Kuripot” Calacanis

When Jason said something not good against SEO, I learned to hate him (but I still followed him through his blog). Now with his tips on how to save money running the start-up, I think, I loved him already. No! I am not gay. I just love his ideas.

He listed lots of things but I like few of them:

• Buy everyone lunch four days a week and establish a no-meetings policy. Going out for food or ording in takes at least 20-60 minutes more than walking up to the buffet and eating. If you do meetings over lunch you also save that time. So, 30 minutes a day across say four days a week is two hours a week… which is 100 hours a year. You get the idea.
• Buy cheap tables and expensive chairs. Tables are a complete rip off. We buy stainless steel restaurant tables that are $100 and $600 Areon chairs. Total cost per workstation? $700. Compare that to buying a $500-$1,500 cube/designer workstation. The chair is the only thing that matters… invest in it.
• Go to each of your vendors every 6-9 months and ask for 10-30% off. If half of them say yes you’ll save 5-15% on fixed costs. People will give you a discount if they think they are going to lose the business.

I am a direct opposite to Jason if we’re talking about start-up and business. But Jason like me is a very much wise in spending money. Jasons Calacanis is “kuripot” guy (lol). And read his tip below:

• Get an expensive, automatic espresso machine at the office. Going to starbucks twice a day cost $4 each time, but more importantly it costs 20 minutes. Buy a $3-5,000 Jura industrial, get the good beans, and supply the coffee room with soy, low fat, etc. 50 people making one trip a day is 20 hours of wasted time for the company, and $150 in coffee costs for the employees. Makes no sense.

That’s the wisest thing you should do. This tip simply tells us to teach your employees to save time… and earn extra income for your company by selling them coffee and other drinks.

And one more thing: Set-up now your Linkln and Facbook account, Jason Calacanis is using these 2 sites for hunting applicants.

• Don’t waste money on recruiters. Get inside of linkedin and Facebook and start looking for people–it works better anyway.
