    Twin Cities MN Meetup

    MEETUPS 
    I'd be up for it. Depending when/where, anyways. I'm on the very southwest corner of Bloomington, so Prior Lake actually worked nicely for me. :)

    Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

    EXECUTION 
    Just had a chance to listen now -- I really liked it, great job! Like anything, I'm sure a lot of hard, difficult work went into what seems like just an hour long recording. I'll definitely be tuning in each week. My 2 cents on the show: 1. Make it easier to find the show. I had to come here...

    How to find a strong why?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    If you can't find a reason to accomplish a goal -- you're in for an uphill battle. My book suggestion would be "Choose Yourself" by James Altucher. Plenty of great advice pertaining to finding purpose in your life, what to "make" of yourself, etc. He has a great blog, too...

    Overcoming FEAR - how I am doing it

    INTRO 
    Make sure to learn this by doing, and not just reading/studying/buying online courses. You can read about all the copywriting techniques in the world, but until you start using them for yourself you'll basically be wasting your time. You'd be better off not buying a single book until you write...

    Overcoming FEAR - how I am doing it

    INTRO 
    For me, the switch was flipped about a month ago when I started to figure out who the people behind my competition really were. Turns out, they're regular people, just like me -- early 30's, married, kids. No ex-Ivy league college grads with VC funding and big silicon valley teams. None of...

    Thoughts on Cars (subtitle... why you should not buy a Lamborghini)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I think in general, people understand the "if you don't have cash for it, don't buy it" rule when it comes to credit cards. Not that most people follow the rule, but they understand it. Car loans just aren't seen as the same thing in most peoples eyes. Most people think they're a standard...

    Stalking for motivation and profit

    MINDSET 
    I'm going to share something that absolutely crushed a limiting belief I had that perhaps success is something reserved for "other" people. People that <insert some excuse here>. I hope this helps someone realize that success is for anyone, not just someone who has a special skill or piece of...

    Doubting My Idea

    IDEA MINDSET 
    Sounds like the worst that could happen is it "doesn't work" and you're at the same place as if you didn't try at all. Trust me, that's a much better place to be than not trying at all and carrying around the anxiety of "will this work? won't it? what if..." Just do it. If you're happy with...

    Who's doing "local" well on the Internet?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    What sites, or types of sites, do you use or can think of that do a good job connecting business to consumer locally on the Internet? Certain things you'd turn to the Internet to, but most of the time want to find locally. I'm stuck on these two: buying a house, buying a car. I'm looking for...

    Two types of failing

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    This thought crossed my mind a few weeks ago, frustrated by my lack of progress towards... Anything. It is much more fun playing "entrepreneur" and trying to validate anything/"finding" a product, than it is rolling up your sleeves and building something of value. No matter how small the value...

    I've been banned from Facebook ads...

    MARKETING 
    Now that I think about this as a web/software developer myself, I could see my activity as something that may trigger a program into thinking it was fraud... I set the whole thing up really quick one night (I had everything planned out), and then posted my first ads. Since I had it all planned...

    I've been banned from Facebook ads...

    MARKETING 
    No, not in the least. My business definitely has a social networking aspect to it, but wouldn't be considered an alternative to Facebook. I'd be more than happy to PM you the website URL.

    I've been banned from Facebook ads...

    MARKETING 
    Has anyone ever been banned from advertising on Facebook? I posted my first ads there for my business, and they were all approved by Facebook, started to run for a minute, and then... Turned off. For "fraudulent activity" with no explanation. Only a message to contact them to restore access. I...

    How to prove advertising with you is worth it.

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm wondering about the legality of listing/recommending companies/services/venues on my site before having permission to do so. Example (this is not real, set aside the fact that it's not a good idea): I have a fake site that's focus is to list the specials at local golf courses. I buy...
