    Can this thread save your life, and perhaps countless others? Yes.

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Family member was involved in a head-on collision with a drunk driver who was driving in the wrong lane. Damaged face, one heel shattered, some vertebrates shattered. Will never walk properly. Will always be reliant on painkillers with awful side effects to try to dull some of the constant pain...

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    This is encouraging. I've been worried about whether I could really help anyone all this time, even though when I sit down and think about it, it seems doable, logically speaking. I even know three people who would be open to hiring me if I proved it would benefit them. So thank you for...

    Using a memorable name for b2b in-person sales?

    I expect most of my sales when I start my company will be acquired by finding networking events and other places to pitch my product (online marketing) to small business owners. I have a forgettable name but I think a nickname based on my first name, plus my middle name would be more memorable...

    Mosquito Netting Ecommerce Store for Sale - $29k profit/year (2.3x valuation including inventory)

    MARKETPLACE 
    How bad can someone mess this up if they don't know what they're doing? What would be obvious mistakes that a clueless person might make? You mentioned that FBA would be the biggest opportunity you see- what kind of time investment do you think it would take you personally to pull it off?
  5. Q

    High End Luxury brokering

    Are the window shoppers broke or people with actual money who would be serious buyers if they found an opportunity to low-ball you? Is it possible they are just bothering everyone like you that they can in hopes of finding something that can resell for a profit? If they're just broke...

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    Hi, Sean! I read your pdf for Clone My Business and one thing confused me: how does going to networking events and mixers help if you only accept one customer per city? After you get your first customer, how does personally meeting others in your city get you your next three customers? Let's...

    The Kelly criterion: when to start entrepeneuring

    The material you linked from Alan Donegan was very enlightening. Thank you. As for the rest... I guess you're right. The more I look at this, the more it seems that you'll be spending almost all your time on a business you're attempting to start, so you can't just try starting several and be as...

    How I got hired as a software engineer without a college degree

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I sent her a link and told her to join- she was wondering which bootcamp you used?
  9. Q

    The Kelly criterion: when to start entrepeneuring

    True! For these, I wonder if it would be useful to use some kind of "reasonable" bound, based on the type of business. Product? Service? Or even, you could say something like "if you have a validated [product|human service|saas|etc] idea validated by [google ads and email sign-ups with small...

    The Kelly criterion: when to start entrepeneuring

    tl;dr: let's apply the Kelly criterion to entrepeneurship, I don't think I've ever seen anyone do it before. I was thinking about it, then decided to finish UNSCRIPTED before asking here, just in case MJ mentioned it. I was excited to see that MJ mentioned expected value, but then sad when the...

    How I got hired as a software engineer without a college degree

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    This is awesome, OP. I work as a software engineer at a huge tech company and I have been trying to get my friend to believe this is possible. I figured it might take 6 months of self-study to learn enough to do your own personal projects so you could have some experience to show, but I had not...

    What's stopping you?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    You make a good point. I do know which I'd rather have, and that's a big number in my bank account.
  13. Q

    What's stopping you?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Wanted to quit my job and start my own businesses but my friend said she doesn't think as many women on tinder will be interested in me if my profile says "Entrepeneur" instead of Prestigious Company Name and pointed out that a couple women have messaged me first to ask about it. Now I think...
  14. Q

    Are you ignoring the gold right in front of you?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Have been a software engineer at a a couple FANG companies. Have always made nothing but internal tools that were specific to the companies I worked at. The stuff I've built and maintained has done things like help tech support folks tweak some settings on people's computers, help people tweak...

    I thought the title of this thread said "monetize their parents".
