    How would you spend $1 million dollars and get no sellable value from it?

    HOT! 
    I agree with what you're saying in general concept, but I think part of the reason you're having such difficulty getting there with the numbers is that you're thinking about things you would buy and pay for within the context of your current life. I know a couple of celebrities with personal...

    CV19 Financial Survey: What has the last 2 months done to your financial situation?

    INVESTING 
    Income down significantly (>50%), but in a strange way. I've not had any clients pull the plug or pause anything. Rather, it's like they've become sort of floaty and disinterested in timelines. That suits me well in the current moment, so I'm just going with it, working less and devoting more...

    Whats a service business worth

    Not at first. But, hiring one person would let you see how well you were able to train someone and instill the same level of quality so as to preserve the value of your brand even without your direct participation. And, with both of you working it would increase your profits somewhat, to allow...

    What Principles Guide Your Life Or Decision Making Process?

    EXECUTION 
    The one principle that informs what I do in every area of my life is "People are more important than stuff, even if the people are strangers and the stuff is mine."

    Land Patents & Allodial Title? How to live Rent free forever?

    The primary benefit of Nevada's allodial title statute appears to be asset protection. You don't really save on property taxes (unless you live a very long time) because you prepay property taxes based on actuarial tables. If you have enough cash to have no mortgage lien on the property and to...

    Can Copy and Marketing Look "Too Scammy"?

    MARKETING 
    Years ago, I managed content for an Inc. 500 niche marketing company. This was in the mid-2000s, and we were way ahead of the curve on testing--when SES speakers were pushing people to get into A/B testing we were running 12-16 versions of every landing page and spending thousands on AdWords to...

    The Worldwide C0VlD-19 Coronavirus Pandemic Discussion Thread...

    HOT! 
    This comparison doesn't really make sense, since car accidents don't spread from person to person in the grocery line.

    Where were you 10 years ago? (Jan 1 2010)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    10 years ago, I was working a full-time, salaried job with benefits. I loved the company, I worked 100% remotely unless I chose to go in to the office for something, and my deal with them was "any 40 hours/week and never more." I was homeschooling my daughter, who was in high school, and my...

    Where could I get my work reviewed

    I think he meant that you should be asking about options for getting this type of feedback on Quora, not that you should post your work on Quora and get public feedback.

    daily routine

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've been washing my face with Dove soap for most of my life. No creams, moisturizers, expensive "cleansers," etc. In addition to washing my face, my "daily beauty routine" includes brushing my hair. Sometimes I put a clip or barrette in it, but that's more about keeping it out of my way while I...

    Money & Food

    HOT! INVESTING 
    Honestly, it's all what you decide and prioritize. Once upon a time, I fed a family of five on about $75/week. It wasn't necessarily exactly what I would have chosen if budget hadn't been an issue, but I kept fat and prepared foods to a minimum and provided plenty of protein and produce and we...

    Men's Coaching Business - Getting Started

    MARKETING 
    Seconding this (not that MJ needs to be seconded). I started using Quora with no thought to using it for marketing and pretty quickly started getting messages from prospective clients. It's not what it used to be--quality of both questions and responses have gone downhill and strangely a fair...

    Google search has now slowed me down!

    RANT 
    Which makes absolutely no sense, since unless you're looking for a restaurant or an auto mechanic, being local has become largely meaningless. Back in 2007-2008 when the steps toward localizing search were getting underway, it made a lot of sense. But, a lot has changed since--changes Google is...

    how do i get my first sales freelancing??

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    It sounds like what you're doing wrong is trying to sell what you create rather than finding out what people need/want to buy and creating that. What research have you done into higher-profit niches, how competitive each is, who the target market for each is, etc?
