    What Podcasts and RSS feeds are you subscribing to?

    MINDSET 
    So I have exhausted my library of audio books and am looking for something to listen to during my commute. Morning radio shows can be intolerable, and I'm finding that listening to music playlists isn't really getting my mind going in the morning. I currently don't subscribe to any podcasts, but...

    Impractical Jokers

    MINDSET 
    So I don't watch TV much at all. Unless I'm sitting down to grab a snack or meal and the TV happens to be on, it's usually of no interest for me. My TV time is usually limited to movies or some documentary I've recorded. Last week, I sat down to have dinner with my kid and she was watching a...

    What it takes to go from being broke to six figures in 6 months

    Excuse my ignorance, but what exactly did Peter Voogd do to go from being broke to six figures in 6 months? I see various references to his book and selling on ebay, but just was wondering if there was a detailed bio on the guy. I'll do a more exhaustive search when I get to something more...

    What laptop have you got?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've only really traveled with my Samsung Chromebook, since it's super small and can fit on my lap easily on airplanes. I can get about 5-6 hours of use depending on what I'm doing. It has an SDcard slot, so sometimes I load it up with movies and kill it after about two feature length films. My...

    What laptop have you got?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Exactly. I have two chromebooks now. A cheap $150 model and a higher end $350 model. I use my google drive for cloud storage, google docs for authoring and editing on the go, and a flurry of other utilities that integrate beautifully into the OS. With google voice, I have a free single phone...

    I have an idea that could be potentially huge:

    IDEA 
    Not a product for me, but something you could test I suppose. Build a mock up. Create an online sales page, and see if you get people to commit to buy. Don't take any payment or credit card info, since that would be illegal on a product that doesn't exist, but splash a message that it's...

    What laptop have you got?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Chromebook. Cheap and light. For serious work I use a PC desktop.

    4 hours of work every day & a lot of moneyz, possible?

    HOT! 
    Sounds like you haven't even started anything and you're already complaining about having to spend too much time on it? If you're not willing to sacrifice more than 4 hours a day on your business, then perhaps this whole entrepreneur thing isn't for you. I'll second the Tim Ferris...

    A Man with a mind full of ideas, to many ideas

    IDEA 
    If I were in your shoes (I'm not, so take this with a grain of salt). I'd throw away the programming books. Is your goal to become a programmer? If yes, then get to programming. You don't need books for that. There are plenty of resources online that will pay far more dividends than those...

    Need guidance for idea/product

    IDEA 
    Well, if you want to start tinkering with a mock-up, see if there's a local tech shop in your area. These places all allow you to use their machinery, at a cost, to fabricate and manufacture things you normally can't do on your own: http://www.techshop.ws/ If you need something machined or...

    Need guidance for idea/product

    IDEA 
    Oh yeah, if you even mess with provisional patents, know that they are not reviewed by the patent office. If it meets all the requirements (cover sheet's, formats, embedded fonts, etc) they will simply process it. When you decide to mature it into a full blown patent it goes under review, so...

    Need guidance for idea/product

    IDEA 
    I am currently in a similar process. Working on an idea and filed a provisional patent in the meantime. Although normally not the case, If you disclose your idea without protection (patent, NDA, etc) your idea could be stolen. Unless it's really revolutionary, this is probably NEVER going to...

    A Man with a mind full of ideas, to many ideas

    IDEA 
    Yeah, I grew up on Long Island, New York. I visit often but will never go back. You'll love California. We don't have winter here (unless you count the days we cant wear shorts).

    A Man with a mind full of ideas, to many ideas

    IDEA 
    If you can't get your life together and moving where you're at, what makes you think you can do it 3000 miles away while fighting to not be homeless, hungry, and broke in one of the most expensive states in the country to live. I live in California. Every other guy here is into fitness and web...

    How did they get started??

    Some of you may be aware of this already. This is for those that aren't. I was over visiting at the ISC offices in Redwood City, California a few months ago. If you aren't a strong IT person, ISC maintains BIND which is the primary name service software running on the internet today. Turns all...

    Why don't more people tutor?

    MINDSET 
    You're trying to discuss the benefits of taking a job, on an entrepreneural forum. There was a similar thread that went down this path recently, not going real well over there.

    First sale 20mins after launch

    FTE EXECUTION 
    How did you test validation since it appears you did so before ordering? Also, I noticed in your timeline that you ordered a first sample then ordered a first run. Was this to test the quality or ensure you would receive something from the supplier before committing to a full batch?

    Why don't more people tutor?

    MINDSET 
    Better yet, take those teaching skills and create a DVD course, ebook, or whatever, and don't rely on an hourly presence for the income from that material.

    All You Tim Ferris 4HWW Experts...Beta Testing Question

    Thousands, if not millions of instructional DVD's are sold each year. There's no question that there is a market for it. The fitness niche alone is ripe with them. I would take some of the stories in that book with a grain of salt though. Don't get me wrong, I got the audio version of 4HWW when...

    ARTICLE: How to make money as an independent developer.

    Let me be more specific: I'm not questioning the fact that iphone users spend more, I'm questioning their line of reasoning why. How did they come to the conclusion that it's because they are 'Richer"? EDIT: Even if they were to gather median incomes for that group, there's no way to extract...
