    The Little Engine That Could PBS Kids The Bluey episode "Obstacle Course" Daniel the Tiger "Persistence" Yeah that age group really gets a heavy dose of "Keep Trying and Stay Positive" which they already seem to naturally have.

    Essential lessons for young children...

    HOT! IDEA 
    Growth mindset is great and would be the top of my list. The problem is it feels like every children's book and children's show goes for that topic. I would like to see a children's book on navigation or generally anything in the "What to do in an emergency" or "How to be self reliant"...

    What Business to Start when you want to Travel

    You can do this with the right job. Same general idea with a job or as a consultant/agency. Learn a skill and network. Make yourself relatively valuable.

    Add Home Advisor to Angi for my most painful contractor engagement. (It was for about $30k of commercial electrical work. The guy came highly recommended and referenced, but I suspect now that he had never done a project of that scale on his own before. The work was ok it just took for ever and...

    HOT! EXECUTION REAL ESTATE 
    That's about the same as small towns in my state. The first one sounds like a rare find and a nice early win. We lived in the last house that we flipped for a while then moved and rented it out for a couple of years. We used a popular realtor, and she had a couple of options for guys that were...

    I mean it looks like they tore the place apart because everything was sagging/falling in from improper support and rot. It looks like they remedied all of that and put in some new windows. There is probably more than you paid for the place in materials and labor just there. What is the median...

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    What do you want to learn? Why do you want to learn it? By what method do you learn best? It looks like you are some where between learning developer or devops or full stack or sys admin. But why and which one? Do you like books or do you do better with projects or videos or discussion? If...

    Small Scale Manufacturing Machines

    HOT! 
    Yes. True. That's a way which this thread has gotten off track. None of the pricing even considered raw material. The stronger forged stock is cheaper than pounds of modified powders. Like I said in my clarifying statements 3-D printing is not slated to replace cnc and casting anytime soon.

    Metallic 3D Printing is great for prototypes on one off unique repairs, but I am fairly certain impractical at scale. As an aside I know a place in my state that will allow you to run on their machine. They have an EOS powder printer. They are also a 501c3 so the cost is only material+.

    Small Scale Manufacturing Machines

    HOT! 
    You have a few options for that depending on the size of the part to be replicated. You can use something similar to the MakerBot Replicator for small scale things. The problem that I have seen with those systems is that they are not incredibly precise nor accurate. They do usually produce a...

    The last time I checked the pricing a few months ago, it was just south of $100k.

    I had the same experience. I should have just driven back to Pitt this morning and flew direct. As it stands I have been in the airport the entire day and am pretty sure that I won't be making it out to PHX today.

    Can I start a generic/umbrella LLC if I don’t know exactly what I want to focus on?

    Depends on the state as others have said. In my state you can do exactly this. Create a generic llc and once you decide what it does just update it at the time of your annual report filings. There are a few exceptions where this would be more complicated (such as businesses requiring a specific...
