    The 5'oclock Shitshow. Or 11'oclock if you prefer

    HOT! 
    years ago a local TV station devoted one of the half hour news programs for a "Good News" program. It was canned for lack of viewership. :)

    "Dessert" will never be the same

    EXECUTION 
    With paleo going more mainstream, something like this could be a great selling point. Look at what happened to the greek yogurts. Also, healthcare patient feeding would also be interested. They need to get calories and protein in many types of patients for recovery.

    Four biz partners, borrow money to pay yourself. Something is not right.

    PEOPLE 
    tell them to get a personal loan. It should be a big red flag to you that they even suggested it in the first place. Hopefully you have everything in writing and partner exit plans already agreed to.

    Why Facebook is a Joke (And various social media/smartphone insanity)

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    I see FB as neutral, another medium that can be positive or negative depending on how you use itt. It's a great way to organize events with friends, keeping in touch w/ friends/family, reconnecting w/ old friends. I have become more social w/ FB, sending and receiving invites to various...

    Making 10's Of Millions In Finance/Investments/Speculation

    EXECUTION 
    very closed off industry. if you want to put the odds in your favor, go to a known school and a known MBA and work on wall street. Now you may have better chances as a math/probability/statistics guy or programmer but you need a masters or phd. My buddy got a phd in astrophysics and is...

    Gullible MLM junkies. SOS

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I look at it like there are millions of people wanting you to give them some direction, some value in exchange for money. They need a plan laid out for them and given step by step instructions. In return, they hand you money and sell things for you on straight commission. It's a huge market...

    I did a 2 week trip to a few camps similar to that in Botswana years ago after I sold a company. A trip of a life time and will go back. It's a whole 'nother world. A weird feeling when you aren't at the top of the food chain ;)

    Our Kickstarter Failed and It’s OK

    there are a couple groups of golfers, the semi serious to serious competitors that are in leagues/country clubs that do look at all aspects of game to lower score (and putting is usually a huge oppty to shave strokes for most), and you then have the weekend warrior hackers who might be more...

    Idea for a clothing line (Jeans)...help

    IDEA 
    i guess burger king and wendys made a big mistake because mcdonalds had already cornered the burger market. Google should have never started because there were already search engines. If its a passion for you, (which it probably isnt since you are giving up already) there is room for tons...

    Idea for a clothing line (Jeans)...help

    IDEA 
    look up Barbell jeans, they are getting a little PR and i think have a kickstarter program. Any jean-maker can put a little lycra in the denim material for some stretch. A few different brands have some jeans that have that. They are real comfortable.

    LANDFILL 
    You need help. There is nothing funny about considering killing people. Get rich or die tryin? That's for idiotic lyrics and fantasy movies, not real life. Anger and revenge especially at the levels expressed, is very destructive and not motivational in the least. You have crossed the...
