    Best way to learn to build and sell businesses without high cost

    EXECUTION 
    It may allow you to sell businesses but may not be a requirement to. Check out the links I put in the previous post and ring one of them. I'm sure they'll steer you right. There's still other ways to get businesses especially those that are maybe a bit isolated, you might find direct mail...

    Is this idea fast, slow, or on the shoulder?

    IDEA 
    I know that SpartaIndy had some struggles at the beginning with finding a sweet spot for marketing... how to charge for classes...schedule them...decide if some kids wanted other classes too. They finally settled on the format on their home page. I'd definitely try NOT to reinvent the wheel...

    Is this idea fast, slow, or on the shoulder?

    IDEA 
    Check out SpartaIndy.com They do some amazing stuff and I know several parents that drive 40 miles to take their kids for wrestling / kick boxing training. It's an awesome idea! Parent's aren't as concerned about who is one on one with their kids if they know you own and manage the talent in...

    GOLD! 
    Yeah... Zen definitely worked REI in the fastlane because he was working the economies of scale here. In that day we all were moving a lot of paper which is really all that a tape of bank owned properties is until they get parked in your back yard. In a lot of ways what we did back then and...

    LOL I see what you're saying I think he was just referring to the risk of hiring a ghostwriter and ending up with a poorly written book... I don't think he meant that my books are a flop just that he considers himself a good enough writer to offer a quality book that he'd put his own name on. I...

    His proposal was that I publish using his name under my existing "successful" publishing company / Author account which I hadn't eluded to in my job post but I think he assumed since I had said I have been a writer (which I have but always for projects for other people's use not my own). I...

    I don't mean that negatively. I meant to say, don't start with a negative state of mind so early. I don't want you "packing it in" and quitting the first week it IS up and you don't get what you expected if you're already talking this way. I just meant be careful. There are plenty of really...

    Before you become an app billionaire, consider this!

    HOT! 
    I think that's what everyone (except the original poster) is trying to say, there will always be problems of saturation but that doesn't mean you can't be successful.

    How would it be "taking off" if your webpage isn't up yet I think it's early to even say that as well as to gauge sales. Have you done a break even analysis? How long it will take before you can even START taking money out of your business for profit? This is rarely less than 6 months. If...

    @COSenior Nice cover!! Bought one... btw I was looking into ghostwriters for some of the ideas I have for a novella and I had a guy offer to write a book for $1.11 and market the book under his name (which I was going to use a pen name anyway) and give me the royalties etc. Have you ever had...

    I quit the job, here's my journey

    EXECUTION 
    Good for you. Honestly, when I read this "quitting your job" title I just thought it was some just someone over zealous about the idea of a fastlane business overnight. Tough decision I'm sure for you but I really hope you find peace and your own path. If I can help, let me know. I'm not an...

    ...aaaannnnnd the rest of the 40? JK this is really really great helpful advice even for non app retailers and yes, I definitely agree that any well managed brand can launch you above the competition regardless of saturation. It's as much about push behind the product as it is the product.

    Which Business Name Should I Choose?

    MARKETING 
    :wtf: Casper Daniel? Johan V, John V, Dr. V. but I wouldn't go random with Casper. Honestly, I'd just use your name, say it once and then say you can call me John V. I know plenty of doctors that are known by one letter last names. Worked with a guy named Bharat...called himself Bob. Tie...
