    Partnering Up vs. Outsourcing vs. Solopreneurship

    SOURCING 
    As I see it ... a partnership violates the Commandment of Control. And the potential legal problems that can arise between partners ... are legion. So my default answer would be ... go it alone. With that said ... I'm not saying you should "never" partner up ... but if you are going to...

    Is there a Correlation Between Fitness & the Fastlane?

    MINDSET 
    I have a theory ... maybe I'm nuts ... but I figured I'd throw it out here ... Is there a correlation between fitness and the Fastlane ...? Here is my thinking: Diet and exercise -- unlike the free market -- are two things you have total control over. Eat right. Exercise. Every day. But...

    Money is Not Everything

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Money doesn't buy you happiness ...? Tell that to someone sitting in a jail cell for civil contempt ... because a judge thinks he has money that doesn't exist. Tell that to a failed business owner ... being dunned and threatened with jail by the Internal Revenue Service. Tell that to the...

    if there was an adult version of StumbleUpon based on your fetishes would you use it?

    HOT! 
    That's nice. I'm still not running my mouth. You want to broadcast what you are doing ...? Be my guest. Not me. What you call paranoid I call prudent. Even unsuccessful copycats raise your advertising costs and cause consumer distrust. Far be it from me to invite that nonsense into my...

    if there was an adult version of StumbleUpon based on your fetishes would you use it?

    HOT! 
    I disagree. I have no reservation saying I enjoy porn ... or even hardcore porn. Big deal. Damn near everyone enjoys porn. And the simple fact that everyone here (as you mentioned) is NOT using their real names lends credence to their opinions. If they WERE listing their real names ...

    HOT! 
    I just don't see it ... I don't need recommendations beyond those already provided by sites like Xvideos. I've never thought ... man ... I wish someone could figure this out for me because I'm lost. As far as "group" discussion goes ... again ... I just don't see it. Who is going to join...

    if there was an adult version of StumbleUpon based on your fetishes would you use it?

    HOT! 
    I wouldn't use it. Big free sites like Xvideo ... Redtube ... Pornhub ... etc. do an outstanding job, as far as delivering up (exactly) what you are looking for ... whatever that may be. I don't envision a demand. If you are going to go the porn route ... "if" there is money to be made, I...
