    Light Went On In My Head

    MINDSET 
    I know what you mean mate. It's not only satisfying to help someone else, but it gives you the right mindset to help people solve their problems even if in this instance, you're not make a dollar on it. I do it all the time with my business. I can spend 20 minutes helping someone over the phone...

    Copy Critique Thread

    No worries mate. I've been burned by unscrupulous real estate agents in the past so I'm probably overly sensitive on the subject :p

    Copy Critique Thread

    PUBLISHING 
    That only further highlights my point about integrity. When buying or selling a house (again the biggest investment most people will ever make) there shouldn't be a 'catch' at all. If I sat down with an agent who had initially advertised a guaranteed sale in that way, only to read in the...

    Copy Critique Thread

    PUBLISHING 
    No doubt there are vast market and legal differences between US and Australian real estate (I'm assuming you're US based) but how exactly would an agent guarantee to sell someone's whom in 90 days or buy it ? Over here a slight adjustment in interest rates can have a massive impact on the market...

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Thanks for bumping this thread. This is awesome. I'm going to Bunnings this weekend to buy one of these (fantastic idea). Congrats to the PBC team.

    Made a website as a joke. Can it be something more?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Apologies to all of my comments came off insulting or ridiculing. Not my intention. Good luck with the site Maria.

    Made a website as a joke. Can it be something more?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Sure. But just about any gag, sarcastic, site, product, concept can be used to bully people by someone who wants to skew it that way. Maria can counter that with a simple statement on her site and then really promote the fun aspect of it.

    Made a website as a joke. Can it be something more?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Just because some people don't understand a concept, doesn't mean it's bad. And social media has given just about every half wit on the planet the ability to vent their spleens about anything and everything. So if you're worried about someone in the Twittersphere taking exception to you, your...

    How to blow all your profit in one simple lesson

    Thought I'd post this to give a few members a bit of a chuckle and to highlight that we all make stupid mistakes sometimes. Amongst the many goals I've sent for myself, one is to declutter my home / life. I used to subscribe to the old "he with the most toys wins" philosophy but now I'm keen to...

    Travelling VS Business

    MINDSET 
    I tend to think this is the kind of question you really have to figure out for yourself. I'm more than twice your age so I'd be inclined to say, go travel and see the world while you're young. You can always make more money. If possible, make it a work and travel journey. I lived / worked /...

    just a little rant

    MINDSET 
    So are you guys saying there's a 'thing' going on between Joe and Bill . . . . . I knew it :p Seriously though, complaining is universal all over the world (except maybe in those dictatorships where it might get you shot). I think the main reason most people complain is because they want...

    Now that one I might buy :smuggy: Not to derail Maria's thread, but I do think her site is fun idea. Would love to see how it goes so please keep us updated.

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Now those advertisements I find funny :joyful: I'm yet to see a men's cologne campaign that makes me actually want to buy from them. Some of them (like the recent bizarre one with Johnny Depp digging a hole in the desert) literally make me not want to buy their product.

    Anyone Owns Car Washes?

    Premium car washes seem to do well over here. You can have a wash, vacuum, polish (full detail) whilst you read the paper / listen to music and enjoy a latte in their on site café. The one closest to me always seems to have a line of cars waiting to get in.

    Made a website as a joke. Can it be something more?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I think some of you guys are missing the point, (and Maria K can correct me if I'm wrong here), but it seems pretty clear to me that it's just a bit of light hearted fun. It strikes me as the sort of thing you'd send to your brother or a mate (friend) as a bit of a laugh rather than something...

    I love it One quick change I'd suggest to the copy: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them bathe. If you know someone that smells like a horse, then try Anonymousoap . . . .

    When was the last time...

    HOT! 
    I haven't been in years myself. Reminds me of the old joke (which I hope is OK to post): "What have McDonalds and masturbation got in common" ? "They both seem like a good idea at the time, but you always feel lousy afterwards"

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    Thanks mate. This is exactly what I'm aiming for. My wife and I actually work together (I should get massive Rep for that one alone !!!) so our goal is to both step back from our business and have someone else run it for us.

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    Getting back to the original question posed in the title: Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40 ? I really find myself looking at people very differently now, and I often have mixed emotions. I'll see a line of people waiting to catch a bus to work and they either have their...

    Ever wonder how people end up in dead end jobs at 40?

    GOLD! 
    It's interesting that the study shows a large % of that disconnect employees feel is attributed to poor management (bosses from hell). I have a number of employees who have been with me for 10 plus years (doing a great job) because their former employers treated them like shit, and they're...
