    Should I quit?

    EXECUTION RANT 
    Ok, wall of text and everything but the answer seems so obvious. Drop the sports nutrition company. This is a textbook case of falling into the sunk cost fallacy. I'm not one to advocate jumping from business to business, but you have laid out not one single positive aspect of this business...

    How to find producers?

    EXECUTION 
    Most offer a turnkey service. Take this one for example. Understand that the more they do for you, the higher your cost per unit will be.

    Getting My Hands On a Baby Boomer's Business

    Adam, long time no speak! (Luke, from FB). Sounds like you've progressed a lot since those Amazon days. Good for you. It also sounds like a promising situation you've found yourself in. My advice would be: pursue the hell out of it if you think its worth it. I have no idea what industry this...

    Does anyone know how competitive the skin care market is?

    This thread is 4 years old, guys.

    Have any of you used anti-depressants?

    MINDSET 
    Unfortunately what you're describing in your last post is most people. There are very few who "make it" onto the fastlane. That's because it's hard, and us human's have a natural tendency to follow the path of least resistance... I.e. be lazy. At the very least your thoughts show some level of...

    Can I have a fast loading Shopify ecommerce site?

    Shopify is notoriously bulky and slow loading. You can't load a website onto your own server so you're stuck there. There is however a way to utilize the Shopify backend with a Wordpress frontend. It's pretty complex and takes a timely development investment but having done it myself I know...

    I'm 17 years old, and (it feels like) I've already wasted my entire life

    MINDSET RANT 
    Sounds like you are way too far into your own head. It happens. You're young. Stop thinking and worrying so much. Set small goals and work towards hitting them. The more undue stress you put on your shoulders, the less time you'll be spending in the trenches learning, failing, repeating, and...

    Have any of you used anti-depressants?

    MINDSET 
    Okay, a few things. Let me preface by saying I've never used anti-depressants so my viewpoint is not first hand. But... You must understand that what you see on this forum is not always real life. You'll see a mix of lowlights and highlights, but believe me when I say for every single...

    Brand building:How important is the logo?

    How important is the company? Or the products you're offering? Logo importance is directly proportional to that. If you have zero brand equity, you have 100 more important things to worry about. When in doubt, keep it simple. Opting for a wordmark is probably your best bet, unless you can...

    Monogamy. The idea of loving only one woman all your life?

    IDEA 
    Good women actually exist. When you find one, you hold onto them. But you'll only truly believe this if you meet the right one. While I assess relationships quite critically, I can't help but notice every so often those older couples who are still oozing love and respect for one another. As far...

    Guilty conscience when not working on business – what to do

    MINDSET 
    Remind yourself that above all, balance is key. Without balance, the vast majority will never be truly fulfilled. Remind yourself why you started your business in the first place. Do you even know why you started it? If you continue to sacrifice every single waking hour you will never have time...

    Stuck in a unique situation..

    MINDSET 
    Funnily enough, going back to school is something I've pondered about fairly recently. I've ultimately decided against it for the time being but the fact I have that option (anywhere in the world may I add) is pretty powerful. I could go back to school simply just to learn. Like I said before...

    Test Your LOGO for Free

    MARKETING 
    I think you're reaching waaay too far by saying your logo is good if you can pass this test. Rather, your logo *may* not be in the realms of tragic. But you're dumbing it down way to much. Advice for somebody who is starting out with absolutely no cash to develop a brand identity: Keep it...

    Stuck in a unique situation..

    MINDSET 
    This really is a choice that comes from within. I dropped out during my first year of university and it turned out to be a great decision. Hindsight is 20/20 though. I'm sure for countless others it was a very poor decision. That said, I was also not in the position that you are with your...
