    What is the most MISCONCEIVED part of entrepreneurship?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Getting through the bad times. You can go from the highest of highs to the most crushing of lows in a span of minutes. Grinding, starting up, etc. also isn't pleasant. Being an entrepreneur involves a lot of lows that you have to push through, and that most people aren't capable of dealing with.

    Dicky Dick. Should I close my company?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    A business needs two things: A quality product/service A way to sell it. You're missing #2, and likely always will. No platform wants to associate itself with a dick game. I'd move on or edit the dick into something that would get accepted on the platforms.

    Fell into the Video Game Trap

    HOT! 
    It depends what point you're at in your journey. If you're in the "student" phase, then do that. But if you're in the phase where you have an actual business, then habits like that can subconsciously lead to wantrepreneurship vs kicking a$$.

    7 years later and you're worse off than when you started. Because now not only are you headed in the wrong direction, but you're filled with an extreme sense of false confidence and arrogance that will only dig your hole deeper. Take @Vigilante 's advice. Take @biophase 's advice. Change your...

    Just got my Big Break! Jesse James plugging my biz!

    Great job @Shea ! I hope your business continues to prosper. If you want to go about making these in China, the logistics would be fairly simple. The Guangzhou area has a lot of cabinet makers. Shenzhen has all the electronic equipment makers. A 1-2 week trip and you can likely line up the...

    Great thread. I'm a fan of the channel and your experimental approach to getting this going. Watched a couple of your videos and will continue watching. Good luck @Fox.

    How important is your credit score?

    This. Good credit = leverage. If I want to invest in real estate and buy up to a million dollars worth of property, I can because I have good credit. If I want to finance a semi truck, and expand my distribution business, I can because I have good credit. If I want to get a loan so that I...

    [Philosophical question] If money wasn't an issue, what would you do to improve your everyday life?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    A lot of this. Pro trainer. Probably martial arts and a lot of pad work. Chef specialized in nutrition. Driver. Bodyguard (imagine how much more freedom you'd have if you had a bodyguard). Stylist. Mansion with extra rooms rented out for free to people doing cool stuff so that I can be...

    [Progress] A Deaf Guy Starting a Telemarketing company

    MARKETING 
    Best of luck @jpanarra. And one thing to keep in mind: tonality. Look up Jordan Belfort's book or course on the topic. Tonality is one of the keys to conducting successful sales calls. Make sure you figure out a way to properly train and manage the tonality that the salespeople are using...

    I emailed 40 local organisations asking what their problems and frustrations are

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Definitely the correct wording. If someone is getting "ripped off", then it's a pain point. Once you identify that pain point, you identify an entire big money business you can build around it. If the pain's not big enough where they think they're "getting ripped off", then the pain's likely...

    Free Accounting Software: If you need software, use these guys

    NOTABLE! 
    Yup. Same with the rest of the world. No one uses checks or even knows they exist. Our systems for paying are way outdated in relation to the rest of the world. The "chip" that we have on credit cards as of two years ago, everyone had 20 years ago. "Pay pass" on credit cards (where you tap...

    That's pretty much the standard fee for all credit card processors - which is why I only take checks. If someone wants to pay credit card, they can for an extra 3%. Problem is if you have an online business, then you're forced to take credit cards.

    Try this. I wrote it in two minutes, but should be a better start than what you had: Hi [Name], I source materials from overseas and helps business owners cuts costs by up to 90%. Is there something that you're getting ripped off on? If so, just reply to this email and I'll start looking at...

    Pizza Rocket (with video)

    I've ate a lot of frozen pizza, and never had this problem. Maybe there's just no market need. Your only differentiation is packaging shape, so value provided is that it fits in the freezer of person who has too small a freezer. Simple solutions for that person would be to get a larger...

    Your post is the type that gets made fun of in Unscripted. Read both books before going forward, and you'll see why your current mindset is flawed. Also, F*ck luck. Each action you take has a probability of success attached to it. Work on increasing that probability of success by working on...

    A couple months back, @Vigilante made a thread in which he recommended all of us get our accounting in order. If you don't have your accounting in order, then you can't sell your business. This is a recurring theme heard by successful entrepreneurs that sold their businesses. It doesn't seem...
