    I love Mondays

    MINDSET 
    I'm not in fastlane yet, only self-employed, but I can relate to the loving Monday thing. "Weekdays" are cool because you can go do stuff that people usually do on their precious little weekends, and there's fewer crowds, you start to feel like a retired person... if you feel like taking off...

    How I find suppliers for my Ecommerce Stores

    GOLD! 
    I don't know why but this comment made me crack up. It sounds like you're describing a human from the future, because we know highly evolved people in the future will be bald, wear HD Blu-Blockers (no more ozone layer), and Starfleet outfits. Anyway, I noted some mentions of WorldWide Brands...

    Tracking packages in real time

    UPS Mailbox solves the problem of not being at home. I'm an Amazon Prime customer so I've gotten to the point where the people at the mailbox see me walk in the door and they just get the package. For people like myself who are addicted to Amazon Prime (same market you're thinking of?) it's an...

    Tracking packages in real time

    Ah, you're talking about some sort of tracking device embedded in the packaging, a sort of micro-scale version of the GPS trackers in shipping containers? Interesting, but I'm still not sure what problem this solves for the general Amazon-shopping public. Would also have same question about...

    Tracking packages in real time

    I wouldn't pay anything for this feature. Not sure the major carriers would provide the data that would be necessary for the kind of true real-time tracking you seem to be describing (exact location of truck on a map, like GPS). That'd seem to be a security problem... I'd ask Joe Pesci and his...

    Best $.99 I have spent in a while.

    Every Thursday afternoon James does a Twitter Q&A free-for-all. I asked him a question once and he included the question and his answer in one of his books! James is a case study in knowing how to "pivot" (ugh), because he talks about how his blog and his books were initially about finance...

    Having doubts - overcoming fear of competition.

    MINDSET 
    I'll give you an example from the consumer end of things in the Nootropics category. I've been trying out various nootropic compounds, each type should be pretty much the same molecule (as long as they are genuine pure compounds). You might think, how can someone compete when there's really no...

    What's your job ? What do you do?

    HOT! 
    Is that user being paid to build backlinks to Boston Analytics? I guess it means they paid some SEO company that is doing a really crappy job? I wonder how their executive team composed of supposed strategy experts such as Kimberlee Luce, Devesh Bahl, and Inder Thukral, would feel knowing that...

    How NOT To Handle Public Relations

    PEOPLE 
    Yeah that episode and the aftermath is like a field day for amateur DSM-IV detective work. Reminds me that a good book to study is "The Sociopath Next Door" by Dr. Martha Stout. Dr. Stout writes that after decades of studying sociopaths, the #1 reliable indicator is the "pity play", she...

    New Game in Alpha, Stupid?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I didn't see anything in that "most ambitious video game ever" video except a bunch of promised features represented by clip art, and screenshots from existing games. Anyway the game industry has a long history of "you can do anything" world-building hype, ie. anything by Peter Molyneux, and...

    How NOT To Handle Public Relations

    PEOPLE 
    Ironic fact: one of the owners spent time in prison for identity theft, using other people's SSNs to open up lines of credit. And now, they don't allow their staff to handle money or run the register, because they don't trust anyone else ("everyone we've hired is lazy and steals from us"). I'm...

    Do you think this is a good idea?

    IDEA 
    I would like this very much, I haven't been able to find this type of content in the iTunes radio, or on internet radio apps like TuneIn radio. The stuff that is out there seems either coming from: a) the Suze Orman "personal finance" tips variety, b) the "leftist" POV towards markets and big...

    Should I quit?

    Be prepared for him to pull the "I got a mortgage, a kid and another one on the way! You know my wife is pregnant, how can you do this to us???" F.U. and your mortgage and your kids. Give me my share. If it causes them stress, they should have thought about that before screwing you around. BUT...

    Why many entrepreneurs are privately suffering, and what to do about it

    I could see how hypomania could be turned into an advantage but only if the person has got a firm grip on some conceptualization of goal setting such as Covey's model of the "Important and Urgent"/"Important and Not Urgent"/"Not Important and Urgent"/"Not Important and Not Urgent" quadrants...

    Should I quit?

    Mr. E. Just want to wish you the best in your meeting and glad to see you're planning and taking steps. Curious: you mentioned his wife had some input in rejecting you as the founder? Is she involved in the business? Remember that in negotiations there is usually some other third party (like a...

    Should I quit?

    I asked my friend Tony what he thought about your "friend" and this is what he had to say: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zIRwd1S26Ik I think you've got a chivato for a boss (the worst kind, the kind who pretends he's your friend). And if he runs his business on the backs of chivatos, his...

    Should I quit?

    Well, he just told you that you aren't a game-changer for his business. Therefore you don't matter, you are viewed as an interchangeable cog, disposable at any time. The question is whether or not you are going to accept that role. You are either a game-changer and compensated as such, or not...

    Nootropics & I (Progress Thread)

    EXECUTION 
    I get the philosophy behind advising more "natural" methods of improvement thru continuous effort and learning, but there's an error in assuming that using things like nootropics implies that a person is not eating well, sleeping well, or making use of time management skills. Update: in the...

    Hello from Denver - self publishing success

    GOLD! 
    The Excel formula that you've provided here is GOLD++ alone... thank you so much! Maybe there aren't technical barriers to entry into self-publishing anymore, but there will always be barriers in terms of (lack of) persistence and wishful thinking (dreaming that the first one or two tries leads...
