    Is Direct Mailing Still Feasible?

    The USPS has a program called EDDM (I believe it stands for every door direct mail), and it is a fraction of the cost of postage. For local businesses this is a great way to send out flyers, menus, etc. The only drawback is that you must select certain postal routes, and this may not work if...

    Enough Money to Lose Motivation...Advice??

    EXECUTION 
    The first company actually requires the least amount of time (and I might have about 15K worth of inventory in my basement that I would love to get rid of), but I need to do a much better job of marketing the new website. While this is out of my usual comfort zone, I think it's a good skill to...

    Enough Money to Lose Motivation...Advice??

    EXECUTION 
    The middle one (that does the embroidery services) right now is the most profitable, but it would also be the most difficult to scale. It keeps my wife and an employee very busy...and yet there is truly nothing unique about the work performed. Barriers to entry are way too low and virtually...

    Paleo Lifestyle

    HOT! 
    It says that some of the meals can be frozen, but others are designed to be consumed within several days. I haven't tried their program yet, but I'm thinking about it. The restaurant is Saskatoon and they have the details of the program on their website. The chef's phone number and email...

    No Interest Loan?

    There may be companies that are willing to sell you a product (furniture, electronics, etc.) and delay charging interest or maybe not at all, but I don't see why a loan company would lend money without charging interest. The only way they could make money is by late charges, which certainly...

    Paleo Lifestyle

    HOT! 
    There's a restaurant in Greenville, SC that started offering Paleo meal plans for the week. You let them know by Friday and they will have you an entire week of meals (three a day plus snacks) ready for pick-up by Monday night. It's less than $200 a week (and this restaurant is known for its...

    Enough Money to Lose Motivation...Advice??

    EXECUTION 
    When struggling from paycheck to paycheck, I found myself to have an unlimited supply of motivation to create a solution. My hours upon hours of work and dedication helped turn around a struggling division of a large company, and my resulting commissions and income is now about 175K annually...

    Is there a Correlation Between Fitness & the Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    My relationship with fitness has proven to be very profitable, but one of my businesses also happens to be a gym that focuses on group exercise. It is similar to the experience you would have visiting a Cross Fit gym with several important differences. My instructors are certified personal...

    Scrub Club

    I used to work at a children's hospital in Atlanta, and there was a mobile scrub van that used to come around. It almost looked like a food truck but it had a huge variety of sizes (and of course you could order anything else). This is certainly not a new concept (think Snap-On and mechanics)...

    Money in Senior Citizens?

    This is somewhat of a late reply, but who knows you may still be monitoring the thread. It sounds like you are actually describing non-medical home care, which can be an extremely lucrative business. Insurance will not cover non-medical care (nor will Medicare that is designed to pay for home...
