    Advice from "Wealth Coach" - Suspicious, or Good?

    INVESTING 
    Is your business something that could be performed without you or that has valuable stuff? Do you live in an area with a high number of valuable cars? You may want to boost your property damage limit on your auto insurance if it's not at least $50,000. Also, there is some personal liability...

    INVESTING 
    What was the basis for the recommendation? Professional licensure? Business ownership? Penchant for doing science experiments in your backyard? Ownership of dangerous/venomous animals?

    Tips on finding software/web developer for an idea

    IDEA 
    The ideal is for there to be OCR recognition off PDF files. Future versions would (hopefully) be able to export the info from something like TurboTax.

    Tips on finding software/web developer for an idea

    IDEA 
    Hello all, I'm working on an idea for an online application where people enter information and the program populates some forms and gives them options for self service (you print and mail the forms), assisted service (call center helps you with the forms), and full service (we connect you to a...

    Looking for recommendations for an Accountant/CPA

    My business partner runs Paragon Business Solutions in La Crescenta, CA..... not in AR but he's pretty good and comes from an accounting background so he can bust through the numbers with you.

    Jordan Belfort vs Grant Cardone

    MARKETING 
    That's correct and a sign I should probably have elaborated more.... the problem I see with guys like GC and JB is that they tend to be focused on training people to convince people that they need a product. This is great, but the skill of the salesman becomes much less important if you have a...

    Jordan Belfort vs Grant Cardone

    MARKETING 
    GC and JB both have their strengths and their weaknesses. However, in a Fastlane world, do you need either? The product should sell itself, no?

    Insurance Agency idea

    IDEA 
    Hi, So then do you think an agency built on exceptional service would resonate? What pitfalls, aside from appointments, am I looking at?

    Insurance Agency idea

    IDEA 
    I control what is turning into a six figure group of insurance policies..... you'd be amazed how apathetic the agents are. I'm better off just calling the Hartford direct and doing whatever I want to do direct with them.

    New Product in Fitness Niche - Execution

    EXECUTION 
    I can't really speak to how to market this (but if you need someone to tell you whether your costs are whack, I'm your guy!) but I strongly recommend you have your IP (patents) in order if this product qualifies for a patent.

    Insurance Agency idea

    IDEA 
    Hi, I'm not talking about life or health insurance, but rather property/casualty/surplus lines. I've sold life insurance before and it's too much of a PITA....

    Insurance Agency idea

    IDEA 
    I know a guy who makes a killing selling used cars and was super helpful when I was buying a car for my wife (even though I wasn't buying from him!). If you provide an exceptional customer experience, people will line up at your door to buy from you.

    Insurance Agency idea

    IDEA 
    Maybe it's just my luck.... but it seems that customer service at a lot of insurance agencies sucks. Captive or non-captive, the agents either drop the ball or take their sweet a** time getting back to you. I'm leaning toward opening an insurance agency targeting business owners focused on...

    Older brother just tried to recruit me into a pyramid scheme LOL

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'm familiar with PHP. Basically, its an offshoot of WFG which is itself an offshoot of Primerica. Patrick Bet David was a WFG guy who realized he could make more money by starting his own MLM because then he'd be at the top of the pyramid, rather than middle management. PHP in some areas is...

    Creating a Sicilian food franchise [HELP NEEDED]

    HOT! 
    I am specifically referring to the dumplings sold in restaurants. They are labor intensive and as a result many restaurants just buy them as opposed to making them in house.

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Not necessarily. If you accept that the conditions for the sustenance of life as we know are the result of some wacky probabilities, then the odds that any planet holds life are slimmer and slimmer because all the conditions necessary would have to occur in lockstep, which in some ways is like...

    Cold Calling Realities

    HOT! MARKETING 
    That's pretty profound. I once heard someone say that if you run an accounting business you are in the business of accounting not accounting itself which I've always tried to implement when I work for myself. It seems to hold true across other businesses. You can be the world's best <insert...
