    I shed myself of my dead weight "friends"

    PEOPLE 
    Join some organizations locally. One that I am a member of, which has chapters all over the country, is the Jaycees (Junior Chamber of Commerce). Everyone there is a young professional trying to go above and beyond to better themselves and their community. While you won't likely find many...

    Should I simply sell my building, or should I setup an operation?

    REAL ESTATE 
    The both options are pretty well the idea, unless I decided to sell (I have other properties). I have experience in commercial and industrial real estate development and leasing, but no real experience in warehousing and logistics. However, my company has been in the family for 5 generations...

    Should I simply sell my building, or should I setup an operation?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm thinking the same way. Also, there is little to get excited about when it comes to the wonderful world of third party logistics haha.

    Should I simply sell my building, or should I setup an operation?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Obvious answer, right? Unfortunately, the family company owns the facility, of which I only own 8 percent. The intention is to leverage the property into more wealth to the point where my share is worth taking. I could take my "cut" and run, but given the amount of control I have over the...

    Should I simply sell my building, or should I setup an operation?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I own a 200,000 square foot warehouse in WV, and I'm toying with the idea of selling the property. The intention with the property (since I started with it) has been to refurbish the building and setup a warehousing and logistics operation. I currently have about 88k sf leased to a company, and...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I want to be able to afford to buy a house in cash. I also want to be able to do anything I want without worrying about the cost. Family trip to Disney World? No problem. An actual Lamborghini would be nice, too. However, I'm more of an Aston Martin kind of guy.

    The black portion is supposed to be an autoplay video/gif, but it apparently is not working for some people.

    Pointers for Kindle Fiction publishing?

    I'd hold off on writing another book. If you're only making $18 per month on your 3 books, all writing another one would do is give you another $6. You need to focus on marketing the books you have already written. Rather than trying to find a paid service, do some research on marketing...

    Building a video games business from scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Quick question: why waste your time on the first two games? Don't you think it would be better to focus all your energy on making one good game versus 3 mediocre ones? Look at Stardew Valley, for example. The person who made that game spent a ton of time and developed the whole thing himself. It...

    Is there a post processing tool that can fix the infamous LED blink? If not, can you make one? That tool alone could be worth far more money than your service. The LED light blinking is something you even see on high-budget productions like The Grand Tour and Top Gear, and they would probably...

    Growing a MFG business

    MARKETING 
    While drumming up new business is always a positive, I want to add something for you to think about. You of course want to make more money, but more sales isn't the only way. Look at your costs and your processes. What can you do to be more efficient? Where can you cut costs? I own a 151k sf...

    New venture Website, Looking for feedback

    HOT! 
    I think you're off to a good start. Your website is modern and attractive. However, there are some things missing. First of all, it isn't clear what product or service you provide. I can assume that you provide photos and videos of cars for a fee, but that's it. Your website should be very clear...

    I Hate the Idea of Being Equal!

    HOT! IDEA 
    Virtue signaling. That's it. That is the key to all of this uber-PC culture we are experiencing today. People want to feel good about themselves and look good to others, and by projecting themselves as taking the "moral high-ground" on sensitive issues allows them to do it. It also has to do...

    My brother tried to kill me and my family did nothing about it.

    PEOPLE RANT 
    Spend every minute of spare time applying to jobs in another city, scrape every dime together that you can manage for a bus ticket, and get the hell out of there. Your life will not improve until your brother, and whole family for that matter, are no longer in the picture. The common phrase...

    Climate Change is the #1 Problem the World Faces

    HOT! 
    While I think the idea of looking for a business that tries to keep the earth healthy isn't a bad one, I think that a better approach is to look how you can make any business more sustainable. There are loads of people selling things from sustainable materials, so the market may be a bit...

    Speed Reading: Is it worth it?

    HOT! 
    As long as you can effectively soak in the information through speedreading, it is a good strategy. However, if you are simply reading the words and not the ideas the words represent, then you aren't doing yourself any good. If you can read a book in 3 hours, but fail to remember anything from...

    How to grow service business systematically?

    Think about why you are hiring and what comes with hiring. What job(s) will that employee do? How much will you have to pay them? Will you pay hourly or annually? How often will you truly need them to work? Would they work in your office or remotely? If you don't have an office but need one, how...

    I failed miserably but I'm enjoying it

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    I like that idea. Don't design and sell the scoop, but rather integrate the scoop and sell the packaging to manufacturers.

    Rite Aid Commercial Property

    Don't look at Rite Aid's financials, look at Walgreens'. If the Rite Aid in question is slated to become a Walgreens (or remain in operation under the Walgreens umbrella), then you should focus on what that business is doing. If it is slated to close, then of course, you want nothing to do with it.

    What are some good "Toilet University" classes?

    I've read a lot of those, and it's a good list. However, I should have framed my question better. I was seeking recommendations for books related to entrepreneurship and business. As much as I love The Lord of the Rings, I don't think I can glean much information about business organization...
