    Working from home with no office?

    HOT! 
    I lived in 400sq ft for 2 yrs and had space for a desk, your suite must be a painful layout! My suggestion is getting a desk that folds to the wall, so you can set up there in the morning, and then it is gone for the evening. Ikea sells these cheap. Also consider getting a portable second screen...

    Working From Home (Help my sanity)

    QUESTION 
    Establish a special understanding that when you have headphones on, the little one needs to do something else and not bug you. Sounds crazy because four year olds are not the most logical, but I know someone who trained her 2.5 year old to leave Mom alone when the yoga mat was on the floor. It...

    POTENTIALLY BUSINESS PARTNER: HOW TO STRUCTURE RELATIONSHIP AND FINANCIAL ISSUES

    SCALING FEEDBACK QUESTION 
    Creating a partnership because someone is solving one business problem sounds like a terrible idea to me. At most, I would pay him a consulting fee for the project of fixing this one part of your business. If you really want, you could pay him 12 months of royalties on your gross sales on...

    29 years old: Business worth $1M but no growth potential - Need to pivot

    Time to pivot or adjust?

    FEEDBACK 
    Love this concept. Quality is of utmost importance. Suggestions: - Mimick every last detail of website and marketing from Remento (but adapt to pets) - Better website name and URL (can you get petmemories.co?) - Consider niching to start. Cat and dog people usually aren't the same people. You...

    Good books to read

    BOOKS MINDSET 
    With reading, start broad, and then narrow down to specifics that you identify, as you have challenges that come up in building and growing your business. You can't anticipate those and arguably it is wasteful to pre-read about things you might have to deal with in the future. That said, I...

    i have 300k in the bank but no business ideas

    QUESTION 
    This is such a powerful phrase that may only have the gravity of its intended meaning for those who have experienced it. So I'll repeat this - the money goes far quicker than you think it will, even as you are making very well-considered, well-informed and strategic decisions. It stills goes...

    First Unscripted Product Launch

    Surprising moment of the day - realizing that I am comfortable organizing sales via a simple channel like a Facebook buy button, rather than feeling like I have to wait before selling until I have a full blown website, with promo video etc. If I can sell simple, the extra marketing should only...

    First Unscripted Product Launch
