    Pet ownership is as close to instant gratification as it gets for someone who wants a companion. No dating/courtship, no fear of rejection, no need to improve oneself for acceptance...

    Stop Complicating it.

    This. It's easy to be dismissive of criticism, but it's worth asking (yourself, or the person) what prompted the comments. I like to think of feedback as course corrections too. You nailed it. For the naysayers who say, "But you don't know the first thing about _____," just say "...yet."

    Politely thank her for the offer and tell her that you cannot take payments, that the motor home must be paid for in full.

    Example of create value and solving problems leading to profits

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Congrats on the success! I laughed when your banker said you had 6x more than you expected. "This guy seriously has no idea?" What a problem to have... Takeaway message: Quality never goes out of style.

    I glorified my process and you guys deserve more transparency. The last few months since late October have been slow. I mentioned in another thread that I was having trouble with my manufacturer, and the problems have been building. Communication with the manufacturer hasn't been easy. It...

    You Are Doomed To Failure Because You Have Too Much Time

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    If you have big dreams and find yourself with nothing to do, you're probably in the slump. Deadlines make a huge difference in productivity. That section in your graph from August to December is like the last stretch in a marathon, when the finish line is in sight and you make an all-effort...

    Star Wars, Force Awakens (Thought it Sucked, Spoilers Quarantined)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just a little. I saw the movie a few nights ago. Those who have seen it are on the same page, and I agree. There's nothing to say about the screenplay that hasn't been mentioned already. Once I noticed what was happening, I just let myself get lost in the great lights, sounds and effects...

    This. Ho-ly cow. Toys, blankets, clothing I understand, but walking through the aisles of the grocery store proves that no product is safe from Star Wars branding! On topic: Haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm going this afternoon. You've all colored my expectations, but I'll try to enjoy it...

    My best memories and experiences were shared with my friends and family. Freedom of time and worry about money will allow me to spend more time doing what I love with my favorite people.

    Might as well make this too... ..and put it together! I thought a complete exhaust system would have been nice. Didn't exist for my application, so it was time to make it exist. I found a guy, and made a phone call using the number on his website. Our [abridged] conversation: "Can you...

    Three months ago, I talked about the momentum of your actions. I've maintained that momentum, and I can see that the effects are snowballing. If you've been following, you'll see that the engine parts I designed and produced were starting to build a comprehensive package. That wasn't my...

    Are Android Pay, Google Wallet, Apple Pay, and other "soft," wireless payment methods viable options?

    Need your thoughts on my idea!

    IDEA 
    In Florida, your SunPass (EZ Pass, T-Tag, PikePass in other states) isn't just used for toll roads; it can be used at the airport, too. The parking lot has a pair of RFID readers that tag your transponder when you enter the parking lot and when you leave. The time difference between scans is...

    I see where you're coming from. I was just thinking more about one person and their potential to tap that market and make a fastlane-like living from it.

    I think legitimate, legal businesses have greater potential to scale...at least for an individual. Drug dealers, for example, have to limit exposure to mitigate the risk of getting caught. Likewise, if you're interested in actually using your money and having it for the long term...I'd go with...

    How I Lost a Million Dollars, But Am Happier And Stronger Than Ever

    GOLD! 
    Thanks for sharing your experience. It stings a little to think that you did most of the work to earn $3m, but it's also your silver lining. You have a good head on your shoulders and perspective to match. I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors!

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    I was once told that taking out the trash, or getting rid of dead stock (product that doesn't sell, or creates losses) is an act of "loss prevention." Oversimplified: your time and business resources are too valuable to waste on stock and activities that aren't doing you or your business any...
