    Weekly Progress: What will you get done this week?

    GOLD! HOT! CHAT 
    Get your topics from your audience. Do a lot of "questions and answers" sessions to find out what's on their minds. Ask them to tell you what they are interested in. You know that their favorite subject is themselves. Build on that. You'll figure out how to monetize it later once you have your...

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    Here, in the US, anyone can sue you for anything. And you must defend yourself. Good luck with your contracts. I think you would need a better hook to make the business work. I would take all the sticking points out -- like accepting credit cards, billing, parts, etc. Most mechanics hate...

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    It's a business model of declining returns. The mechanic will develop his own clients and contacts -- pushing out the middle man. So you must have a constant flow of new mechanics. And you may have a liability problem with being responsible for that mechanic's work. What if something fails and...

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    I went out of my way to make friends with the teachers for this exact reason. I didn't care about the other students. I was there to get my education, and I squeezed every dime out of it.

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I also do the learning thing all the time, but I'm working on my investments and project at the same time. Like you, I many times don't apply what I've learned right then. But I find that I'm able to put together ideas that seemed unrelated into something new. When I run across a new problem, I...

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    I was a really weird student when I went to college. I went for the education. I sat in the front row of the classes. I made friends with the teachers/profs. The difference is that I was always working full-time or more to support myself while carrying at least a full load at school. I didn't...

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    GOLD! HOT! IDEA 
    These colleges cannot make him shine a good light back on them. They cannot take credit for his success. He's already there. Also, he won't use their education the way that they've so carefully planned. It's a green-eyed, envy thing, mixed with a whole lot of inflated ego issues. It's hard to...

    I have a "problem" that everybody wants to have

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    I think of art as the canary in the coal mine. Each era has its own style and signature. I look at the changes in that style to see where we're going next.

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    HOT! - AI - 
    The end of the world has always been coming. I remember groups of people sitting on the top of mountains waiting for that moment, and it didn't come. They had sold all their worldly goods to prepare. I'd sure hate to be one of those people who had to go back down that mountain and start over again.

    What would you tell your 18 or 25 year old self?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Here's the everyday financial and business end of this wonderful advice that I have learned over the years: It took me a long time to know that I will be ok financially and in business, no matter what. What changed that feeling of constant danger in the beginning was learning to create backup...

    Our New Building: Last week we bought the bags of concrete for the foundation repair pour. We decided to mix the concrete ourselves. (We don’t need enough to call out a truck. But, we could mix and pour with our mixer.) It rained just about all week. Thursday alone, it rained 5 ½” -- so working...

    It sounds wonderful, but in my experience, it will not work with humans. And it's been tried over and over again in the past. It ends up with a small elite class who have all the goodies while exploiting the majority, who have nothing. Then there's that motivation thing. How do you get those who...
