    Is hoplinking dead?

    Yes. Look for another endeavor to take part in. Read the book from back to back, then read it again. It will change your life.

    EXECUTION GOLD!

    8 nerds launch a $12M card game biz

    I had heard about these guys when they reached their first $2MM. I'm very happy for them, they seem to be doing things in a fastlane fashion, probably without knowing it.

    Any books recommendation on Business acumen/Business "street smarts"??

    This is an odd question. I would assume that so-called "street smarts" are acquired like any other skill: by practicing it. As far as book recommendations go, most business book darling have already been recommended. One book that I feel is a bit underrepresented in this forum is "Rework" by...

    48% of Americans Want to Be Entrepreneurs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Well, of course. Who doesn't want to "be their own boss". The challenge comes when these people go into business for the wrong reasons. Like making money as opposed to creating value, which is why the failure statistics are the way they are.

    Cold reading =/= psychic abilities.

    What's your area of expertise?

    I think this is a great idea. Expertise: Marketing & Innovation Knowledgeable: eCommerce, Web Design & Customer Service Weak Points: Accounting & Management (trying to gain experience to correct this) Hobbies: Music, reading (specially business stuff, I eat it up) & going out with friends.

    I've gotten 3 of these offers in the past week from 3 separate people...

    HOT! 
    The MLM space in general makes me cringe. Yes, I've gotten offers like these in the past and they can be kind of annoying. In fact, many of these kinds of schemes use cult-like tactics to deal with "non-believers". Wild stuff.

    A New Venture: Cellphone Marketplace

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Something that I've noticed in the eCommerce space is that you really ought to get your marketing plan going. I assume you already have Search Engine Marketing and Pay Per Click are already in your marketing pipeline. If you get the marketing right, my bet is for your success.

    How do you behave when finally rich? (but your friends aren't)

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    A wise man once told me that money is nothing but a magnifier. If you are nice to begin with, you'll tend to be nicer. If you are obnoxious, you'll probably go full-blown a**hole.

    Best Business Movie EVER? By Scorsese & Dicaprio - Wolf of Wall Street

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I did know that he hasn't gotten his Oscar, but I didn't know he doesn't have an agent. That's very interesting. As for the movie: it honestly looks great, if a bit cookie-cutter, but we'll see. Definitely going to catch this one when it comes around.

    Alright, you are free to send me a PM with a layout of the main idea. I've come up with some pretty great names in the past, it's actually one of my favorite areas of endeavor: naming things.

    Startup Chile looking for a new round of applicants

    I actually applied to this program more than a year ago. In the end, I got accepted but couldn't go because my other team member didn't have his passport in order and didn't want to be alone. Which is fine, we actually focused on another local program. One of my friends also got accepted and he...

    Could you rate my website? no marketing, just honest opinions

    MARKETING 
    Here's the deal: in order for your site to catch on, you will need something to make you different from the other guys. Why should I use you and not Wordpress or Blogger or Medium or Tumbler? I'm not trying to be harsh on you by the way, but you do have to realize that this is a cutthroat space...
