    Now you get to start choosing your clients. When I had my practice, I got to the point where I turned down more work than I took. I call it "skimming the cream." I made more money by having an exclusive client list. Rather than charging more now, go after the clients that are a better fit with...

    I've been thinking about this thread, and it’s a personal aha moment. Some of us post each and every week. We each have a list of accomplishments for the week before and a plan for the coming week. I’m starting to realize how unique we are compared to others around us. I don’t feel that...

    Our New Property: This week we're planning a concrete pour. We're fixing a foundation flaw on one section of the building. Hopefully, we can get it done by week's end. I must do the math to figure out how much concrete to order. Then, after this work, we'll let it cure for around 5 days...

    I didn't post last week because I had visitors here with us all week. In the 1980s, I raised two boys. They were "throw-away" kids -- their mother had abandoned them when they were 10 and 11 years old. So, I raised two boys who really needed a stable, loving home. The older "boy" is now a...

    That's why I live very close to the Pacific Ocean. It regulates our temperatures in my area. Actually, the summers are so beautiful, cool, and green. Our population doubles each summer. And we're in a world-class fishing area for Pacific salmon. (We had a huge salmon run this year. My freezers...

    The Coming AI Job Apocalypse: Entrepreneurship is Your Answer.

    HOT! - AI - 
    My ex-husband provided meals for a jail facility for a while. He hired young, cute girls to deliver those meals. At first, there were a whole bunch of security measures to get them into the gates with their carts of meals. In no time flat, those young ladies could just walk right in with the...

    We've had a beautiful summer here in Alaska. BUT, the leaves on some of the trees are turning yellow and starting to fall. Our days are cooler and our nights are chilly. We're losing 5 and a half minutes of light each day. You're right. Summer is just about over.

    Move out of your parents house!

    I believe that you are a child until you move out on your own and take care of yourself and all of your needs. No more expecting your mom to pay your phone bill. No dad standing in the wings providing your car insurance. I'm talking about you standing on your two feet on your own. It means...

    What I'm saying is, who can you talk to in person? Who will answer your questions, and what can you do for them in exchange? This is not about billing a customer -- this is about making a human contact who you will talk to over and over again for, hopefully, the next few years. You help them...

    Personally ask them. Have you done any face-to-face contacts? Do you know anyone you are trying to help? If you don't, who are you trying to help? Yourself or them?

    It's true. Most people who say they tried -- they failed before they started. Even if they got it off the ground, most businesses fail within 5 years. Usually, its death nail is operator error or lack of capital. I try to figure out why they failed and what I can do better. Business basics...

    Starting two ventures (short-term and long-term)

    EXECUTION 
    You can get a lot of the appliances for free. Be the "go-to" person to pick up appliances that aren't working. You can also make a deal to meet the installers of an appliance seller to pick up the machines being replaced. Many of them remove the old machines, and they must dispose of them. They...

    Thanks for telling me. I'm in the USA. I have an adopted son who is 54. My husband and I plan to buy him a food truck in the next year so he can have a side gig. I understand what you are saying. Everyone is afraid that someone will steal their idea. It's not as easy as it sounds. Just start...

    Why not talk to people about what you are developing? You can get them to test it for you.

    The New Property: We’ve been clearing off a lot of junk and debris. I called for another roll-off, 40’ dumpster, that is designed for scrap metal, about mid-week. We filled it up and had it dumped Friday morning. By afternoon, we had it full and dumped again. The trails we cut in the woods have...
