Why prostitute your Monday through Friday for the paycheck of a weekend? Grab the book that is creating an entrepreneurial revolution and make everyday your weekend!
So which is it? Someone will steal your idea or nobody can replicate my business. Inconsistencies will scare away any investors. They would call BS on you. Then the rest of your pitch will be questioned.
IMO, hiding your ideas from people is probably the worse thing you can do at this point....
Zen has pretty well convinced me nothing is impossible other than maybe dribbling a football. But unless this guy learns to pitch, he doesn't have a prayer in hell.
Also google Tim Ferris' article on hacking kickstarter.
A million by 2015? So? I know of a business that went too $700k a month profit in 12 months and is legitimately in position to be a $60 mil company in the next 2 years.
No Thanks.
Ok, you are naive in the ways of asking for money, which I would bet will translate to you being naive in business. Not a good investment for anyone. You got the self promotion/tooting your own horn down though.
Hopefully your self confidence will get you there. But you...
I find needs everywhere, not all of them make business sense, but they are everywhere. a good trick to help you learn to see needs is look at anything and dissect it backwards. Think products through.
A simple example, whats it take to make a pencil? Wood, Lead, metal, rubber, ink for the...
I would like to add this very valueable article for people who read the 6 harsh truth and are going back to doing nothing:
Equal Odds + Expected Value = Profit
I am not the threadstarter, but I had the same problem a while ago.
What really worked out very well for me for getting sales via email marketing (after trying dozens of "tactics"):
Writing very personal emails and asking people questions.
I couldn't catch many sales using so many email...
I run ecommerce stores and I have a decent size list. My problem is that I don't know what content to send them on emails. I don't want to send spammy emails about products in my store. I just like to keep in touch every week or so. I don't have a landing page in my emails as the links just to...
I played the first Capitalism. I thought it was a great game, I got a pirated copy and it came with no instructions which is actually better in hindsight.
Games during that time were very structured. This game had no structure. It was probably the first game I played that had minimal...
Interesting article.
Question about the second person, Carla. If she got a mortgage and included her student loan into it, didn't her student loan get paid off by the mortgage? If so, couldn't she declare bankruptcy them and get it wiped out?
In general, that usually doesn't happen. You don't get a person who makes no sales suddenly getting a huge sale. The one who is making a dozen small sales a month is probably doing something right. People are regularly going to his store and making purchases. This is a way better customer.

I dropship for people and probably should ask for a monthly fee. You get these random stores that send you an application, most never send you 1 order, and some send you 2 orders a year and you don't even remember who they are. Not worth the paperwork IMO. You may think you are doing the...
Well, for one thing the price of a car you are renting for $500 a week will probably be more than $10,000. But the biggest issue is maintenance. How are you paying for oil changes, checkups, brakes, tires, clutch, repairs? What about insurance or dealing with accidents? This doesn't sound like...
