    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    No worries, @Kak! My apologies for disrupting your AMA thread. You took the time to do this and I should’ve been more open to your input. After thoroughly reading through this entire thread, I’ve already learned a bunch of different things I can do to dress better. Seriously, thank you so much!

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I don’t see why it’s so far fetched to want to see how the guy giving out style advice personally dresses.... isn’t that basic common sense? Why would anyone lose sleep over a forum comment? LOL

    Capitalizing on opportunity for freelance copywriting for friend's growing business

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Kim, I can tell by your post that you're sincere about wanting to do right by your friend. You could've jumped right in, but the fact that you thought it over first says a lot about your character. Personally, I would just be upfront with your friend and let them know that, while you'd love...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    A bit defensive, eh? This is a business and entrepreneurship forum. If someone is going to give style advice here it only makes sense to see how they personally dress. Eh, just seems silly. Would you take fitness advice from someone you’ve never seen just because they sound knowledgeable?

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I understand the concept of this thread and agree with the importance of dressing properly for each situation, BUT where are the pictures of some of your outfits @Kak? I’m not trying to out you, but it seems silly to take style advice on a forum where barely anyone here even knows what you...

    Cigar Afficionados in the House?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Honestly, just the fact that it’s built into your torch is awesome

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    The business was anything but hands off. Sure, I didn’t have to do the physical labor but there’s a whole world more to it than that. I sell my own unique products and I’d agree that with solutions like Shopify it’s easier to get going. However, being successful is a whole different ball...

    Cigar Afficionados in the House?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I had a punch for a few months (it broke) and I honestly enjoyed using it. Mainly because you never run the risk of getting pieces of the cigar on your tongue LOL. Other than that, the difference between a cutter and a punch is negligible to me as long as they are of good quality. HOWEVER...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Lawn care or any other commoditized service is a great way to build up some savings to do something truly fastlane. It's better than most regular jobs (especially if you're younger). I charged significantly more than my competition and, in my opinion, it still wasn't worth it. Simply put...

    Starting (and Fastlaning) a lawn care service business

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've built and sold a lawn/landscape maintenance business that did close to 100k per month at the time I sold it. Personally, I would advise against going into this field. Without going into a long-winded rant, the main reason is low barrier to entry = low profits. I could talk to you for...

    Viral Giveaways - Local Advertising Idea

    IDEA 
    Ah okay, that makes sense! I appreciate the suggestion and your detailed response. I'm definitely going to test with an outside service, but I'm thinking the higher CPL could definitely be due to my targeting and prize. My targeting is relatively broad and the prize is a group of my products...

    Sound big or sound authentic?

    It's better to be upfront and honest with everyone you're working with and for. In my experience, clients are more comfortable with smaller businesses because they expect more personable, prompt service from them. It's not beneficial to lie or exaggerate to potential partners, employees or...

    Viral Giveaways - Local Advertising Idea

    IDEA 
    I've also ran some giveaways on FB and had (what I thought were) great results. However, after seeing how cheaply you acquired emails I'm curious as to how you set up your giveaway. My leads cost me closer to $0.80 an email and I was using FB messenger ads to collect the emails. I was...
