    From An Idea to IndieGoGo And Beyond - Tech Start Up

    IDEA 
    I think a t-shirt can almost always be used as a reward, just make it interesting/funny and a high enough reward to justify the expense. Otherwise maybe a key chain, quickey or something similar that's relevant to lightening how we carry things like keys, wallets, etc.

    From An Idea to IndieGoGo And Beyond - Tech Start Up

    IDEA 
    Look pretty cool, but @tafy makes some really good points about NFC and security/privacy concerns. NFC is growing in popularity, draws less power, and is generally the go-to for products like this (think Apple Pay). BT transfers data quickly and has long range so its great for headsets and...

    A Reading Strategy That Actually Works

    So to be honest I opened this thread expecting another speed-read pitch about how books only have one idea worth learning and you can extract it in 10 minutes by not even reading the book :rolleyes: Pleasantly surprised instead. I really support focusing only the best books, using repetition...

    You don't need to get them to recognize it. It doesn't need to be taught. It needs to be allowed. Watch the video.

    When Do You Use Credit?

    MINDSET 
    The great thing about math is that there's no room for interpretation. Take an example: I get a return of 15% on cash. It costs me 5% to borrow cash. I get to keep the 10% spread. :smoking: Now say I get the same 15% return, but it costs me 25% to borrow cash. I lose 10% on money I don't have...

    What are you struggling with?

    EXECUTION 
    When it comes to getting slow in your old age, what's the single biggest challenge that you're struggling with right now today? Also, if you could tell me how to solve that struggle, then create that solution and market it for me, I'll give you 5% equity (pretty fair considering this will be a...

    Quick Question. Listing Reference?

    PUBLISHING 
    Really? The answer is in the link I posted and you responded right away asking me to explain it to you anyway. If you can't be bothered to use the resource I provided or even do a simple google search, I can't be bothered telling you exactly how to do anything. Actually I can. Here you go.. ;)

    Quick Question. Listing Reference?

    If you used information from any source, you have to give them credit. Even if you learned it years ago and wrote it from memory. https://owl.english.purdue.edu http://www.citationmachine.net

    HELP! Unreliable freelancers are driving me INSANE!

    PEOPLE 
    I agree with SinisterLex about seeking out the freelancers yourself. I've had substantially better results with the freelancers I find myself compared to those who come to me through job postings. Anybody can make you believe they're the right person when they know exactly what you want to...

    Should I Build My Credit?

    HOT! 
    Don't close it. But don't completely stop using it either, inactive accounts are bad for credit too.

    When Do You Use Credit?

    MINDSET 
    No. Why would you want to pay more for the cash than you can make on it? That's the exact opposite of arbitrage, and a great way to lose money ;)

    When Do You Use Credit?

    MINDSET 
    When the cost of cash < the return on cash, use credit.

    What does your avatar mean?

    Pun. I'm hooked on this journey like a fish hooked on a line, slowly bringing us towards a single destination no matter how much we change direction. The boat is our destination, which for me represents freedom (probably not so much for the marlin). The marlin reminds me that the journey...

    Attitude Toward Spending Money?

    MINDSET 
    There's a difference between being disciplined with spending habits and being afraid to invest in the right opportunity when it presents itself. Investing is only risky if you don't fully understand it, and I bet you understand your own business pretty well. With regards specifically to hiring...

    Need some advice (follow your passion? Binary options?)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    You don't get it. Which is why you're still making worthless posts and derailing the thread further, even after Vig asked to get it back on topic. It's not about "collecting likes," it's about providing value, which you clearly don't judging by your like & rep vs activity. You post all the time...

    Make a consistent $313 a month and rising each month. Fully automated income!

    MARKETPLACE 
    Clearly everyone here disagrees, and you're dismissing their concerns with nothing to back it up. You could gain credibility by guaranteeing $300/mo for 2 years, personally paying the difference out of pocket if sales drop. If you really believe it's impossible for that to happen, it's 0 risk...
