以前的经验显示，我们的商店在那些居民对健康生活高度关注的地区是盈利最多的。

因此我们应该把下一家连锁店开设在Plainsville，那里有很多这样的居民。

Plainsville的商家报告说运动鞋和运动衣的销售处于历史高点。

当地一家五年前因缺乏客源而濒临倒闭的康体俱乐部现在的会员比以往任何时候都多，减肥训练和体操班总是满员。

我们还可以预见到新生代的顾客群：

Plainsville的在校学生被要求参加一个叫做"终生健康"的项目，它强调从小开始经常锻炼的好处。

七年前，附近的Brookville社区的业主实施了一系列关于该社区的庭院应如何布置以及房屋应涂何种颜色的规定。

从那以后，Brookville的地产平均价格翻了三番。

为使Deerhaven

Acres的地产升值，我们也应该对于景观和房屋涂色实施自己的规定。

在Megalopolis，过去三年间在大型合伙事务所就职的法学院毕业生数量下降了15％，而在小型，一般性事务所就职的毕业生数量则在增加。

尽管大型事务所通常提供高的多的薪水，法学院毕业生选择在小型事务所工作主要是因为他们感受到更高的工作满足感。

一项对于顶尖法学院一年级学生的调查显示，多数人同意挣更多的钱没有工作满足感更重要的说法。

这一现象启示我们，Megalopolis的大型合伙事务所应该给毕业生提供更多的福利和激励，并减少他们的工作时间。

在本市的两家最大的房地产经纪公司--AdamsRealty和Fitch

Realty--之中，Adams显然更优秀一些。

Adams有40名房地产经纪人，而Fitch只有25个，且很多是兼职工作。

而且，Adams去年的收入是Fitch的两倍，其平均房价为$168000，而Fitch仅为$144000。

在Adams销售的房屋卖得也更快：

十年前，我把我的房产交给Fitch，它用了四个多月才卖出去；去年，我在Adams卖了另一处房产，仅用一个月就售出了。

因此，要想让你的房产卖的更快更好，你应该选择Adams。

鉴于我国在未来20年中患某种形式关节炎的人数预计将从4千万上升至6千万，生产治疗关节炎药物的制药公司将获得巨大利润。
