    From Fired to Cold Calling

    EXECUTION 
    God bless you! I struggle with words sometimes, lol. I think in pictures, not words, so the concrete examples you gave are very much appreciated! I'm not sure the VP is a showman per se, but I suspect he impresses a lot of people with his current and past work titles, and I'm frankly not...

    From Fired to Cold Calling

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the recommendations- I have Value-Based Fees, and will look into the others. I'm also reading Pitch Anything because next week I get to pitch a few of my sales ideas (new division, new technology needed, new products, IP) to a VP of business development at a company I used to work...

    Applying FastLane Principles to Finding Love?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    As a newly divorced person about 4 years ago, I asked a young man who was a friend in a bible study class if he had any idea why I never had many dates- in high school, college, and thereafter. In high school, I looked younger than everyone, so that made sense. At the time, being divorced with...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Biophase, thanks for this thread! Would established ecommerce people be interested in licensing products with a patent pending, or is everyone generally focused on first to market? I've got a ton of product innovations, and there's only so many hours in the day. Thanks for any insight!

    Trying to loose weight (not succeeding )

    HEALTH 
    Bhanu, are you hungry again within a few hours after you eat? If you are a snacker or crave sweet things, you may be slightly hypoglycemic (which won't show up on medical tests). It's sort of a pre-cursor to diabetes. I am hypoglycemic, and after I figured this out, I eat according to the...

    Learnings from 3,000+ PMs with fellow forum members

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Likewise- I put all my ideas in Omnifocus, so I can review them later. It's not that I'm changing all the time to look for greener pastures, rather I don't have the ability to manage shipping orders. Product/Founder fit, as you say. I've done it and hated it with a passion, but "the...

    Andy, a sincere thank you for this post. I have been trying to figure out how to get out of my own way to accomplish what I want for my kids' sake, but have always struggled with dealing with day-to-day management of, well, anything. I get bored if I don't have a new problem to solve, but how...

    The Licensing Game

    GOLD! 
    I know this was posted a long time ago, but I'm still going to say thanks for posting this video! This was an ***excellent*** summary of protecting and licensing an idea, mostly for items that would need a (utility) PPA. Most resources don't mention talking to retail buyers- I had to figure...

    The Licensing Game

    GOLD! 
    I believe you can do an entire catalog of items and register the copyright for the entire thing for about $70 (this price as long as it's all in the same catalog). I'm not sure if the items have to be related to each other, but I don't think so. It's just a deterrent, but better than nothing...

    How to Recreate an Elite Ivy-League MBA Education at Home

    Well, depends on how you look at it. Mine's been in the original envelope since I got it, in a file. And yes, it was indeed a pain to get it. But I enjoyed the experience, learned a lot about people, and my favorite class was "entrepreneurship." Imagine that. I'm still very glad I have it-...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Read it last week, I think. I've been on a book binge, even for me. It's a good one- thanks MJ! Starting Unscripted tomorrow. :cool: Edited to say: oops, wrong thread! Read Fastlane. No matter, Unscripted will be done by the weekend.

    Starting over- Want to merge Traction, Fastlane, and One Simple Idea

    IDEA 
    Thank you ZF Lee and MJ for the welcome and info! Just started reading Unscripted today. :D Yes, I believe phone calls are the way to go, via original contact on LinkedIn or other referrals when possible. I'd like to beef up my contacts on the distributor end so I can pre-sell more easily...

    There is an excellent, not-too-lengthy book on decision making you might enjoy- it's called "Smart Choices" by Hammond, Keeney, and Raiffa. It has a foreword by Roger Fisher, of whom I'm a huge fan.

    Can you just pick a couple of carefully chosen courses IRL for networking, and do the rest the cheap way?

    How to Recreate an Elite Ivy-League MBA Education at Home

    You want to know enough to know if your accountant is trustworthy. That means you need to have enough knowledge to ask good questions. You also need to know that how you structure a deal can affect how it looks on the books to others (important if you have outside investors/loans), and it can...
