    Time is money?

    Maybe try thinking about it backwards, too. What would someone have to pay you to miss: a wedding a dance recital a once-in-a-lifetime event a family vacation a camping trip your Saturday etc. How much, in cold hard cash...? For some things, no valuation exists which you would agree to a...

    Ford to Cut 10% of Global Workers The cuts are said to largely target salaried employees. It’s unclear if hourly factory workers are included, the Journal said. Followed up by: "Look, we're as frustrated as you are by the stock price," Ford Executive Chairman Bill Ford said.

    This is slightly different, because I think you need to consider her relationship with her Dad. She may look at it like she's waited all this time to go on vacation with him and he's not even 'there' the first two days. Sometimes it's about the quality of time, not necessarily where it takes...

    Everyone I talk to, I always end the conversation with, "Would you mind if I called you some time in the future with any advancements or new ideas?" Never gets a No!

    Thanks for your input. The idea was to license. It's a product I have little expertise in, and, quite likely, could never build myself. The field is technical, though the product idea is rather simplisitic in nature. The product has yet to exist, so there is nothing to sell but the idea at...

    So, if this were the case, how would I know what place in line I am? I'm not sure I completely understand the idea of a queue in this instance. How do I prove such a thing? How do I know he's not already been in development under a similar type of PPA (though drawn up slightly different than...

    Day 105: We May Be Done Here Got in contact with a CEO who is making the absolute closest product imaginable to what I came up with. Setup a phone call, and he was eager to hear me out. After a bit of small talk, introductions and pleasantry, we got down to it. Gave him my pitch. Two things...

    The idea is learning what it is, first, hence the... How can you fight the dark side if you can't recognize the dark side? Why would @MJ DeMarco commit the first few sections to recognition if it was non-important? A child identifies his colors by seeing them over and over. Only then does he...

    In light of @MJ DeMarco 's new book, I figured it might be somewhat enlightening to see the SCRIPTED OS in action. Hopefully those of you who read the book don't take it at face value, but apply it to your surroundings. Get to know the world around you. Understand it. Beat the system through...

    How do I turn my product into a REAL brand?

    MARKETING 
    I'm suggesting you focus on sales. If you sell 100 units a day, then 1,000, then 10,000 and so on... don't you think people are going to start noticing your brand, anyway?

    How do I turn my product into a REAL brand?

    MARKETING 
    How, exactly? How big is your 'brand' now? How many years have you been in business? How many markets have you been a mover and a shaker within? I'm trying to gently lead you in the right direction, which @G-Man alluded to, and it's expansion by product and sales, not name. You having a...

    How do I turn my product into a REAL brand?

    MARKETING 
    Before you get too far into this... Why do YOU need a 'brand'? Do your sales warrant creating said 'brand' yet? How will focusing on 'brand' image help you sell? I'm not going to make any bold assumptions, but folks asking these questions are usually looking for more sales, where they think...

    Monotony. Boredom. Routine. Pattern. Habit. There's a difference between working a process and a proclivity to work. Have you ever watched ants build a mound? It's actually pretty fascinating. So fascinating, in fact, companies have built toy ant farms for decades for us to simply watch...
