    I have more difficulty coming up with idea's than I executing them

    IDEA 
    Read the carpet cleaning thread. About starting a business in a saturated market by being more efficient via marketing/branding/quality control. You can borrow old ways of doing business and make them newer. GOLD - Making Money For Dummies (And In a Crowded Market)

    What are you struggling with right now?

    HOT! 
    Getting people on CL to sell low so I can turn around and flip the item for profit. Everyone wants top dollar for their items it seems. Any idea on how to get better at price negotiating?

    Ive learned that if i have resistance to something, it means i need to do it more. If i dont want to call someone on the phone, i call someone on the phone. Dont want to go out and meet girls? I go out and meet girls. You carry this mentality with you your whole life, your comfort zone increases...

    Can I scale these?

    Heres the thing. Many people dont care where their electronics go. It doesnt surprise me when i see a computer monitor or a tv in the dumpster- if someone wants to get rid of something, what stops them from throwing away their electronics in the local dumpster, or listing them for free pickup on...

    18 y/o starting a local cleaning company.

    EXECUTION 
    I think it's very important that you advertise locally. For one, it's cheaper. Order a bunch of nicely made postcard flyers for your business online. Get 500 of them. While you're waiting around for the internet side of things to pick-up, go to the best neighborhoods in town...you know, the...

    Business to Business Marketing...am I doing it right?

    MARKETING 
    @IceCreamKid. Several clients with credit cards. But I haven't really advertised my services yet, hence my OP. Spent no more than $50 in branding and fliers to get my business running, so these next few weeks I will be getting my name out there. I like your approach to treating it like a...

    Ok. So my business caters to other businesses. I sell a service to small businesses in my local area that I plan to scale as soon as I get momentum. I believe the demand is there based on my experiences so far. My question is, what approach should I be taking to effectively market to my...

    Brand recognition: should I spend a lot of time building it?

    EXECUTION 
    Okay. So ignore the little crap right now as far as branding. I probably have enough now anyways. I guess now my focus will be to make the website user friendly while also getting my sales pitch in gear. This will set me up for next week where I can focus on selling.

    Brand recognition: should I spend a lot of time building it?

    EXECUTION 
    Starting a company from the ground up. Just wondering, in the midst of building a website, marketing strategy, pitch, and brand, should I be spending a lot of time and effort on brand recognition? I.e. I spent hours last week developing a logo, name, business colors, etc. made t shirts and now...

    How important is a domain name

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Thanks a lot for the feedback everyone. @DrkSide, makes a lot of sense. First thing that comes to mind is that dating site Zoosk.com completely off the wall name with no relevance to the brand but through brand recognition and marketing they made it work.

    How important is a domain name

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    The one I want is already taken. Will there be a drastic difference between a no hyphen domain vs a domain with a hyphen in it. I know it sounds trivial, but I have no clue if it would make a difference. Example: Mycitysadverts.com (taken) Vs Mycitys-adverts.com (available) Thanks

    Help me name my business

    Really simple. Need a name for a B2B company that does paper marketing for small business/mom and pop stores. The advertising is brochure, flyer, and sign marketing in residential and commercial neighborhoods. Thanks Torrey
