    Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

    EXECUTION 
    I'm starting to really become a fan of the show. To be honest, in the beginning I was questioning if I would continue listening but after the pinky swear episode I was pretty hooked. At the risk of insulting you I will provide my honest opinion. My first thought in the beginning was "man this...

    @Walter Hay This is a questions more about your personal opinions. It seems that one of the prevailing business models on the forum is to start importing. The typical route seems to be through Amazon FBA etc. There are several members on the forum that appear to be extremely successful with...

    Hey Walter, had a chance to read your other thread where you provide details about how you got started. Very impressive negotiating for a 12 year old kid :) When you were manufacturing the chemical overseas, how did you handle ownership liabilities for your inventory? I am assuming that you...

    Good day Walter. I have a question about payment terms with a vendor in England. This vendor is reputable so I do not have any of the usual concerns that I might by way of China, etc. In our communications, I have informed them of a large order that I will placing in the very near future. I...

    Sourcing & hiring employees

    PEOPLE AMA 
    When hiring someone that is entry level like an intern where the pay will be slightly above minimum wage, how would you generate interest in the position? Is it a matter of focusing on the benefits and experience they will receive? Being part of something brand new?

    Have you considered using Java and an MVC like struts? I may be biased as I know Java well but I have always been a fan since it's good at heavy lifting. My recommendation might be late in the game since you have a lot of progress but here are my two cents if you are considering a rework. Get...

    [RANT]: Raise the minimum wage! This is so unfair!

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Reminds me of something that happened this weekend while I was in Portland checking out the scene. Very cool city by the way! I stopped at a gas station on my way to hike around Mt. Hood. Ad I stepped out of the car, there was a woman already opening my gas cap. I asked her what the hell she...

    Vigilante's "Mind Your Business" Radio Show

    EXECUTION 
    First episode I tuned in to was Vigilante's personnel story. Pretty powerful stuff and definitely a kick in the a$$ to anyone that thinks they can't go on.

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    @Vick when you start looking for a second manufacturer how do you plan on using them? Will you funnel lets say 30% of your orders through them and the other 70% through your main manufacturer? If you keep them in reserve, will you store materials with them so you can quickly ramp up production...

    Getting lost in travel... from your desk.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I could see this being big for areas up north where people get snowed in. They could order groceries, toiletries, etc when weather is bad. Hell, start a company, get a government contract with FEMA and start providing air drops for flooded areas where people are stranded. That's where the money...

    Cool, just saw the new photo. Looks way better that way IMHO. I'm not trying to rip on you man. Maybe make the design thinner so it resembles the thickness of a card more?

    CRITIQUE MY PRODUCTS.

    EXECUTION 
    Ya but what is the point of the design? Is it just here because you like it? Will your customers like it? I would show the face in both pics. Studies show that people respond favorably to photographs that contain faces. For the meal plans photo, why not have a smoking hot girl mixing up some...

    EXECUTION 
    I'm not a fan of the 3/4 angle photographs. The design remind me of a bar of chocolate. The photograph that is surrounded by the mint green kind of throws me off. Why is the guy covering his face? I get that he is showing off the sculpted abs etc but I think there are better ways to do it. I'm...
