    Handling Rejection

    MINDSET 
    Cool, thanks guys! South Park is a good example of this... Can you imagine how many people hated them in the beginning? But they did it any way, and built up a fan-base of people that love them. Imagine if the creators had simply said "Oh, I guess people don't like it, so we'll make something...

    I'm somewhat incapable of saying no to people

    MINDSET 
    A couple years ago, I was upset at my best friend from high school. I wanted him to help me out with something and he didn't make the time. Me: I'm a little pissed off at you right now, dude. Him: Get in line. I later learned how awesome those three simple words were, and I've really...

    Handling Rejection

    MINDSET 
    Hey all, I haven't been by here for a while, but I just thought I'd pop in and share my thoughts that I think would be helpful to fellow members. Especially new guys just starting out. How do you handle rejection? It took a while, but for me, it now comes easy, once I learned one simple...

    Article: Scouting for Future Billionaires

    Absolutely! Understatement of the decade?? With a few exceptions, business is a team sport. I SUCK at direct sales. Mainly because I don't know how not to be brutally honest with myself and others. Once they're sold however, they love me because they know I tell it to them straight. So I've...

    Wanna stop government spending? Please vote here...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I stumbled on these videos after I did most of the research to figure it out, they would have saved me lots of time trying to grasp the concept, but I'm glad I went through the countless hours of reading and talking to people on my own. It gave me a much more thorough background on what's going...

    Wanna stop government spending? Please vote here...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Yep, it is kinda funny. That's how they have us. Like Puffy in "Get Him To The Greek": mind f**k 'em. Mike, Calm down bro. Public debt is bad. But paying of the Federal deficit is impossible, because all our money today is debt. What would we pay the deficit off with? Dollar bills? Even if...

    Wanna stop government spending? Please vote here...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm assuming that the reason you guys are hoping that the government will stop spending is because it's running up the national debt. When you understand the economic system, you'll see that stopping spending and paying of the debt is not a real solution. The government isn't like a business...

    Passionate about your business or $$$$?

    What I've observed about people who have made a lot of money and keeping it... It's not that they love money, or that they love the business or product. Something else drives them, as Forza says. Those who are too passionate about their idea tend to make decisions which limit the true...

    Need some advice on finding a good SEO provider

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Hey guys, I need some input from someone more experienced that me in this space. I'm looking for a provider that can provide SEO, PPC, and other related internet marketing services. Here's a bit of background: I'm working with a local advertising company who has been doing physical...

    Seo Companies

    Can anyone recommend a good company that they've worked with personally? Better yet, is there a person or company who would like to rank local business clients for us? We already have clients waiting for the service.

    A Win-Win Joint Venture

    Thanks for offering your real world advice! You definitely have to be on top of your game and do your homework, that's for sure. Not just about the other partner(s), but also about how to structure things in the business. Couple of things that you might be able to expand on... Don't go...

    Art Hamel - Buy a Multi Million Dollar Business

    Couple of questions because this is very interesting to me: When you say equity, I'm understanding it as you are also including control with it. Is it possible in this type of arrangement for the investor to have a majority of the equity, but not the control, e.g. as a limited partner or...
