    Bare minimum...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Knowledge is a tricky one. We all have access to the public library with which I absolutely think that one can become whatever he / she wants by the learning and application of the resources within. But being taught the "why" to strive, believing it's possible, and learning the mindset to...

    Do you Save / Invest along the way?

    HOT! 
    Great answers everybody - thank you... Perhaps I was looking too black and white at (i.e.) investing with a MF through an IRA or 401k or taking the money and investing in a business venture. While both are investments - both carry different risk-reward ratios and liquidity issues, op cost of...

    Bare minimum...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I was at the store today and (It saddens me to say) I just saw a bunch of people beat down by life. My question is this... Would you agree that it's human nature to just do the bare minimum to survive or have other simple needs? I'm not talking about Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but are most...

    Giving Thanks

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My friends and my family... They are the best and I've been truly blessed. I'm grateful that I live in America and have so much freedom of choice and opportunity. I've been doing a little selling of financial products working in the ghetto of Cleveland. It's opened up my eyes more to...

    Do you Save / Invest along the way?

    HOT! 
    What's your opinion on investing in i.e. a 401k or IRA if you're an entrepreneur? I used to be all for people on a CAREER TRACK or a JOB investing in a 401k for the long haul. Now I really see it as more slow-lane. I'd rather take my money and try to invest it into a business where the...

    Research??

    Where do you find your best ideas for businesses to start? Tech journals? Newspaper or T.V. News where people complain alot? Trade journals? Online forums? Any other sources I'm not thinking of? Do you narrow down your opportunity radar to what field you know or have experience in? Please...

    Crap. domain names are all gone

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I wouldn't fret over it... While a good DN is nice, IMO t's not necessary. Having the perfect name is overrated. How many people own good names and have no business savvy? I'd take a second rate DN with a great business strategy, in a hungry market, with a competitive service / product and...

    Do you have an elevator speech ?

    Elevator speech example: Me: "So what do you do?" You: "Well you know when you are looking to shop health insurance and don't want to deal with a pushy health insurance agent or navigate the Internet because it's so confusing?" Me: "Yes" You: "What I do is help people avoid agents by...

    Twenty-Three Year-Old Facebook Founder worth $5 billion

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    21st Century Bill Gates? That's a big statement there. IMO it's much too soon to compare this guy to Bill Gates. Gates is a great businessman tested over time. How long has Facebook been there? Don't get me wrong, FB is :thumbsup:and this guy will most likely be richer than almost any...

    Do it yourself traffic generation?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    IMO, marketing is too important to NOT learn. It's not like creating elaborate pic ad's for newspapers, text ad's are simple. I'd do Google Adwords and free article publishing to start. Free article publishing is great. Self-educate yourself on the how yo both of these areas. If you're...

    Need some wisdom.

    The Power of Focus (Canfield, Hewitt, Victor Hansen) is a great book for focusing on what's productive - not just busy work. Four Hour Work Week (Ferriss) will address this very much too.. Both are excellent books. Also, I find that I get lazy when the project just seems like I'm...

    Stop listening to others

    :smx9: to Ghost Writing... I heard this concept a few years ago and it's fantastic. I have a friend who has done it for clients. It's much cheaper than you'd expect too. You could even have someone interview you (who's a fantastic interviewer) and have them write the book. They hammer it...
