    It's right in front of you, you just cannot see it.

    MINDSET 
    Write a business plan. Sure, its daunting and very time-consuming, but you will come up with the most detailed plan ever. You think you have things mapped out in your head, but you don't have it perfected, trust me. I write an updated business plan every January. I probably reference it...

    Toys of the ultra rich

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Must be nice... Although Warren Buffet said that he'd rather be friends with people who have yachts because apparently they are a pain in the butt to keep and maintain.

    College....i.s it worth it ?

    Education is always worth it, no questions asked. It doesn't even have to be college-- it can be a technical or vocational school, community college, a two-year degree, etc. Education is very important.

    Easiest way to build a small website???

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Ok, ok. Maybe if you are decent at coding, you can throw together 3 HTML pages and that MIGHT be simpler and easier then putting together a 3 page wordpress site. But he also spoke about expanding, and wordpress is clearly best for that. I vote for just starting out with wordpress to save...

    Easiest way to build a small website???

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I will reiterate the wordpress blog. All of my websites start out with it. All of my sites start out with wordpress because of the exact reasons mentioned above (cheap, SEO friendly, simple, etc)

    Seo Companies

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I have never had the need for strictly an SEO firm. When I get sites designed, I make sure the designer is skilled at SEO. I do this by searching for web designers, but limit myself to the first two pages of Google for whatever keyword or type of designer I am looking for. If they are that...

    Great quotes from great leaders

    MINDSET 
    One thing that I started doing last year was every time I read an inspirational quote that really meant something to me, I printed it out and taped it onto the back of my bedroom door. Everyday, I end up reading a few in the morning. Great way to start the day if you ask me.

    "Turnkey" online store...

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I agree that ecommerce is a very lucrative venture, but this particular one is just not the way to go. As everyone else is saying, you can do this for much cheaper and offer much higher quality products that are actually unique. This is just a speed-bump. Figure out a way to push forward with...

    INVESTING 
    I guess it comes down to your risk tolerance and how much capital you have to work with, but I am interested in hearing the OP's thoughts on this since it looks like he has done his homework.

    Help me escape...

    It will be tough while working a 60 hour work week and balancing family life, but I would try exploring your entrepreneurial options and start developing concepts before leaving your job. Everyone thinks that starting a business must be this over-the-top, dramatic risk-taking event. Cannot be...

    Best, most probable and efficient to accomplish this is to buy an underperforming business with revenues <$100,000 per year and build it up.

    Questions About Buying Businesses

    I always thought the same thing, although never actually invested in one. Coffee is addicting, and everyone loves breakfast foods and donuts. As long as you are not across the street from another competitor and you are in a fairly high-traffic area, you should be good to go. Maybe I...
