    I am getting a real job

    No contacts? Not enough capital? It sounds like you're making excuses for yourself. Is this a business that needs a lot of capital to get off the ground? Is it something you can get started on by bootstrapping? What action have you taken so far? Every situation is different and you need to...

    The Most Important Thing Owning A Business Has Taught Me

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum and it's awesome that you've learned this at such an early age. Goes to show that taking action and improvising as you go along is far better than reading about it in a textbook. You should check out the "I Love Marketing" podcast. Joe Polish, who used to own a cleaning...

    This guy used an insane get-rich-quick scheme to become a start-up millionaire in three weeks

    For those of you who don't know much about Jet.com, they're basically trying to take the Costco model online by passing every cost savings on to the consumer in exchange for membership fees. Marc Lore has proven himself before with Diapers.com so it will be interesting to see how this turns out.

    Do you rather work on your business or do you rather sleep?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I used to wakeup with just enough time to get ready and run out the door to work. About 6 months ago, I started waking up at 5am and it's been so much better. I get the most important tasks out of the way first thing, with no distractions while everyone is sleeping, or I get a workout in and...

    WORK

    MINDSET 
    I totally agree. Unfortunately, I think fear of the unknown is what holds everyone back. Uncertainty is a real setback for most. The real magic happens when you take action. Ready, fire, aim...act now, figure it out as you go is a much better mindset in my opinion.

    Can forum's make a lot of money?

    Yes and no depending on how you view it. If you believe there is a popular market that could benefit from a community and you can add value by connecting that community then you should try it out. Once you have an established community, you may start to uncover problems, desires, wants, needs...

    I did it! Feedback please!

    Great job on taking action. Your friend is right...better to put it out there and adjust as you move along. As most people here mentioned, remove the social call to action on main page and focus on demonstrating your product and it's benefits. I think a demonstration video would work great...

    What is your personality? Find it out with a quick test!

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    That's an interesting point. I was the same growing up and often kept to myself. However, in high school, I made a conscious effort to become an extravert. Nowadays, I can turn the switch on when I'm in social situations, but often find myself content being alone and reading / working on...

    What is your personality? Find it out with a quick test!

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Very interesting. My results show I'm a INTJ. I tried the test on another site and got ENTJ with 5% extravert. Either way, the description of INTJ is pretty spot on for me.

    Instagram Ad Marketplace

    HOT! SOCIAL MEDIA 
    It's a great idea. I thought of it as well when I was looking for influencers in my niche to help promote my product and found it difficult to source them. Instagram is implementing their own ad system...they've already rolled it out with big brands. You'll see posts on your feed that say...

    Amazon Category Listing

    When listing a product on Amazon, what are the main things to consider when choosing a specific category? For my specific product, there are multiple subcategories within the broader one that it can fit into. Is there a way to know which keywords are searched for more and choose a category...

    What was your biggest business and life lesson in 2014?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I've learned a lot over the past year from reading a ton of books, this forum and pursuing my own project. Here is a quick brain dump of the lessons that come to mind: Take action and figure it out as you go. There is only so much preparation you can do before you have to grab fear by the...

    Most Important Video You Can Watch

    EXECUTION 
    I have mixed feelings about Tai as well. His 67 steps does give out a lot of value, but he also drags stuff out a lot longer than they need to. I believe he owned his own nightclub in NYC, then started an online dating site and now he makes money from book sales and mentoring. I've started...
