    2 ideas should, should I pursue both?

    IDEA 
    1. Do you have the actual skills to develop an app. Many people think they can program, but once they get down to it, they learn very fast they cant. 2. Go with the idea you are most interested in. Ive started two businesses at once, and it became very hard to try and juggle both. I wouldnt...

    Whats a good golf score?/Anyone here play golf? /10,000 hours

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You could also go to Q-school or try and make enough money off of sponsor exemptions to grab your card (Jordan Spieth). But still an extremely difficult league to get in to.

    Whats a good golf score?/Anyone here play golf? /10,000 hours

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ive played golf my whole life (huge golf nut) and Dan actually lives in my town (Portland). 4.1 is an excellent handicap for someone in his position, but honestly even with over 5,000 hours left, his goal of reaching the PGA Tour would be extremely slim. The problem is that he doesnt play on PGA...

    Progress Thread: Importing/building a brand

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Just out of curiosity as I had never heard of e-juice, but did some research after looking at this thread. First it seems like a pretty viable product, with e-cigarettes becoming more popular. My question is what are the regulations for selling it online, similar to any other tobacco product...

    Welcome To Ugly

    For any one looking to take some serious steps, welcome to ugly. Ugly is functional. Functional is ugly. It's Fugly. Ugly lets you focus on the content and not the pretty pictures, the neato fonts and warm and fuzzy colors. This is not about planning words, process, research, think about...

    Looking for $200.000 investment

    Excellent point. Stay lean and efficient. Talked with a guy earlier today who told me he needed about $100k minimum to start out. He was kind of all over the place, but it had something to do with focus groups for small businesses. When I asked what the money was for, he said to build the app...

    INTRO 
    I cant speak for Spaxton1, but I can give you my own personal advice, as I went to school and studied entrepreneurship, started a business right out of school, and failed miserably. My problem was I thought I knew it all, because the professors made it seem so easy. What they dont teach you in...

    Why learn copywriting?

    Automatic Bookmark

    I gotta be honest, Ive been down that road of trying to create a community and then trying to use ads as revenue. Its very difficult and getting even more so, as more social and community websites pop up. Last I heard reddit was losing money. Dont want to scare you away completely, but I would...

    Who puts on Corporate Conferences?

    Been doing research on corporate conferences put on by companies like Dell and many other smaller organizations. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience putting these on or knowledge of who often runs them. My reason for asking is that we are in the development stages of...
