    Can LinkedIn ProFinder Challenge UpWork?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I sure hope so. Upwork has lost my business, permanently. Their customer service is on par with the worst I've experienced anywhere, including AT&T from 15 years ago

    90 days to SaaS

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    you *are* the project manager, though, as the client you *are* the project manager, as the client. If you hire a general contractor to build a house for you, and, 9 month into it, they haven't even poured the foundation yet, whose fault is it? I'm beating you up a bit here because you're...

    90 days to SaaS

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    How much analysis have you done (and feedback have you gotten from experienced people) on your original 2-year project? Reason being, the only thing you've swapped out so far is the coder(s). And, the coder you're now using (you) is much less experienced than the guys he replaced. The...

    advice on webpage

    Personally, if you're budget constrained, go with wordpress. There are an infinite variety of webpages that you can design with Wordpress. Themeforest has a bunch that are all very nice. I use the Avada template. It is very flexible. And quite cheap. The developers of it have 10 or 15...

    Aim for singles or home runs?

    Exactly. For me, I'm aiming for what I know I can hit right now, but I have an eye out for bigger stuff later on. I also have triggers set up along the way that will get me to take the next step when its time. Basically, I'm taking the stairs. Here's my path: 0) try misc other businesses...

    How to buy a house

    REAL ESTATE 
    speaking from personal, painful experience...wait until that money is actually in your bank account before you start spending it. I had a similar deal years ago, and got paid pennies on the dollar from it.

    I've got to fire my brother.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    this is only partly about the money. You need to get rid of him, now (imho). His attitude alone will bring you down.

    I've got to fire my brother.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've been where your brother is. He knows he's not performing well, and its eating him up. For me, I wished I'd been fired 6 years before I actually was. He'll land on his feet eventually. He's stronger than you think. The best way, I think, to tell him is to review where your business...

    To the sales pros, please share some resources so I can up my sales at my slowlane job?

    SLOWLANE 
    I'll be you know more about sales than you think you do. For example, you came up with a great idea about reaching out to realtors. From my experience, the thing with sales is to go try stuff. A lot of stuff. And then, evaluate what works and what doesn't. So, perhaps you could go talk to a...

    Patent Related Question - Should I Move Forward or Stop Process and Kill The Idea

    IDEA 
    They may have abandoned it because it wasn't worth their time. They may have projected profits of 'only' $5m a year. (or whatever) I wouldn't discount the idea only because it was abandoned.

    Patent Related Question - Should I Move Forward or Stop Process and Kill The Idea

    IDEA 
    I have a knee-jerk reaction to patents. I hate them. Its probably because I'm in the software business, which is littered with bogus patents for things that never should have been patented to begin with, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I've never met someone that has been successful...

    Elon Musk stopped by today...

    IMPORTANT! 
    at 5% interest, in one hour the owner of this receipt will make another $570, so they could do this once an hour, and still come out ahead. (kinda nuts if you think about it)

    How to "adjust" your wife accordingly

    LANDFILL 
    A lot of relationships have two different types of people - a saver and a spender. A written budget that you both agree on would help here. It does for my wife and me. If we both agree to spend 'x' on a certain category, then individual discussions over how much money we should spend for a...

    Crime scene cleanup

    I know someone that bought a crime scene cleanup business. (They already have a multi-million dollar remodeling business to fund it with, though) They said that its highly lucrative. One thing they do is to partner with local churches. For people that can't pay the bill/don't have insurance...
