    3D printing & scanning spare parts for household appliances

    IDEA 
    Errors in your description of 3D printing and your assumption that there are idiot-proof 3D printers (there aren’t) lead me to assume that you don’t have much personal experience with the process. There are lots of people currently monetizing 3D printing in niche markets, but the only ones doing...

    I’m Alex. I’m looking forward to growing here.

    INTRO 
    I had an electrical/mechanical consulting firm for many years and am very familiar with the nuts and bolts of electrical installation. Given the state of skilled trades these days there is plenty of opportunity for training aids. And there is always profit in government regulation - the NEC is...

    How does one not feel empty?

    MINDSET 
    I think you're not only uninformed, you're in denial. A quick Google search will show you that roughly 50% of clinical depression is hereditary. That's a medically accepted fact. I've dealt with such things for many years. I'm ADD and always have been. It's the way my brain is wired, same as how...

    Keep in mind collateral expenses as you expose yourself to new perspectives and cultural norms. Your raggedy four wheeler sitting in the back of your shiny new truck is going to work hard on your psyche. Putting your kids in private school opens them up to a whole new world of expensive peer...

    Family: Do Blood Ties Matter? Or Is the Family Lottery Irrelevant?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    While your business-related advice has always been gold, this may be the best insight you’ve ever brought to this group. Learning to dump the baggage and establish boundaries leads to the ability to maintain meaningful relationships while being your own person. This can be a hard fought...

    How does one not feel empty?

    MINDSET 
    Clinical depression is a clinically proven chemical disorder of the brain. No opinions required - it’s a fact. And it ain’t fun.

    Building a Manufacturing Conglomerate Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    Damn, this post evoked some long-repressed PTSD. So often in a small business you feel like you’re knitting Jello and it seems like the only way forward progress can be made is by butting your head against it. The good news is you are obviously doing a lot of things right. Glad to hear you are...

    The West Coast always cracks me up with the way they fight the symptoms while ignoring the problems. A few years ago when people pooping on the sidewalks in San Francisco increased dramatically they set up two crews in the sanitation department whose only job was to clean human excrement from...

    Do one thing, NOW. This instant, do something to break the inertia and set you on the path. Delete social media, cancel a gaming subscription, get off your butt and walk around the block. Do one thing. Then another, and another. I don’t know your age but you are on this forum so will be...

    Quick Introduction

    INTRO 
    Execution is everything; you should learn as you go. There is an incredible amount of new things to learn, but if you’re bootstrapping the monetary risk is low. First decide what direction you wish to take (service, product development, e-commerce, other) and jump in. Message me if you would...

    How would a poor man go on with creating a trademark and IP

    SIDE HUSTLE QUESTION 
    IP laws vary by country, and for maximum protection IP should be addressed in each country engaged. For most this is not realistic; conventional wisdom is to patent/trademark where the major market is (typically USA) and not worry about the others. While you’re wise to be thinking about IP, it...

    You’re in a great field! I had an electrical/mechanical consulting firm for many years and we were a part of numerous such teams as you describe.

    Energy efficiency construction company

    QUESTION 
    I’m a former electrical/mechanical consulting engineer; here are a few thoughts: Low and medium income customers are a harder sale for upgrades. Develop a strategy for exploiting the high-end market. In regulation there is profit, and the energy sector is a constantly changing regulatory...

    Leaning into rejection: Asking for free coffee.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I get it. I had several prototypes of an invention that needed field testing in small businesses last year and was dreading the cold calling. I finally went out one afternoon and got four “No’s”. I came home as exhilarated as if I’d been handed money. I couldn’t believe how liberating it was to...

    God, can you give me more?

    MINDSET 
    You’re doing it again - overthinking and writing more than you have to say. Your time would be better spent reading Gold Posts and moving forward, posting to report progress and provide value. Getting busy and getting your hands dirty would afford you less time to wander aimlessly inside your...
