    For people who do not want to program

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I agree with that. I'm a programmer myself, so I've been on both sides of the fence. If you understand what a programmer does, that makes the relationship MUCH easier for everyone. Just like business, alot of programming involves 'figuring stuff out'... so there's not usually a 1:1...

    Cashflow/Stuckness

    Oh no, of course. But there's a difference between solving problems and disacknowledging them. If you've never lifted weights before, it's one thing to say you're going to bench press 300 pounds, and work out every day until you can. It's quite another to walk in the gym the first day and...

    Cashflow/Stuckness

    Oh, and depression. Depression will suck all of your time away. So that's another reason why I need to move towards passive income - I can't work reliably over the winter. (at least not in NY) I can handle financial hardship, but I hate getting client projects done late. It makes me feel...

    Cashflow/Stuckness

    Right now just art. I have the ability/tools to make entire games from scratch, (I'm a coder too). It's just very time consuming. People do it though. It's just really hard, dirty work, and every step of the way there's the possibility that everything you've made so far is wrong and you'll...

    Hmmm.... what if you work the MMA/world travel angle? Make a video blog or something. (heck, you could star in your own comic book) Obviously it wouldn't be a cash cow, but if you get a following it would present some options. Particularly if you don't target the MMA crowd specifically, and...

    Cashflow/Stuckness

    Yeah, but that takes forever.... you might as well invest in the stock market with bubblegum money. Granted, I work online and live in new york. So the obvious solution is to move somewhere cheap (peru), and earn the same income (online). I'm just curious if this is a legitimate problem or...

    Advice on my idea and execution so far?

    IDEA 
    I work in game development... and the best thing I could add is follow your base. Like mrhahn said your target game won't be around forever, but you can stay with your audience. You said you were liked by several facebookers? What else do they like? Can you build an information product...

    Cashflow/Stuckness

    A quick (and maybe dumb) question, but how do you keep the cashflow going while you're trying out these new ventures? Or better said, how do you avoid getting stuck in the low risk / time consuming jobs? That's the problem I keep running into.... I do contract work for a while and use...

    No Instant Magic Pill

    I'm new to the forum, so this is just a thought. Can you sugar coat that pill somehow? Like present it as a quickfix solution, describe all the benefits up front, and then slowly get into the nitty gritty details about what really must be done for it to work. Like the millionaire fastlane...

    SAD and Cashflow

    Thanks guys! @Karmen NLP? As in Neuro-Linguistic Programming? I've studied some neurology/psychology (mostly from a behavioral context) Glad to hear I'm not the only exjub around! I'm quite embarrassed by the whole thing. I'm working on putting together an 'exit manual' of sorts, you...

    Badly in need of some opinions

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Phoenix is really that great? I have relatives trying to get me to move there (my uncle). I've never been there myself, don't know much about it really. Montreal is awesome from what I hear. I'm from NY, so I have friends that head up there periodically. Larger cities are better for...

    Oooh... did you get to meet Ryu and Chun Li? ;) This sounds about right. Are you doing just the software launch to start with, or are you shooting for both hardware/software at the same time? Will the software launch 'reveal' your hardware offering? As in, if you launch just the software...

    I will get there, or die trying.

    Awesome - so now you can create products for health/fitness, homeowners, married people, and dog lovers! Oh, and welcome! (I'm new too)

    SAD and Cashflow

    Hi I'm Mateo! (Marcos is my longtime net alias) I got the book, not quite finished with it. My situation seems very similar to MJs, so I'm glad I picked it up. Background Info I freelanced making game art (mostly mobile games). Trying to turn that into a business and divorce it from my...
