    Execution ? on financing an import

    Ok financing issue is solved I believe; purchase order financing will be my initial form of financing. I will be marketing this product to wholesalers, still working out the details and proper channels. One question, if the distributor asks for an order of say 10,000, are they typically...

    I don't have a plan, I can't do it, I don't know how... FIX IT!

    HOT! 
    Can we start an execution thread? Seems paradoxical though. Maybe like speedway private? I dont need ideas; although, I am guilty of my fair share of whimsical discussion. Perhaps snowbank has a better "idea" :smx4:

    Bankruptcy can happen to anyone!!!

    Interesting theory and I would say it is correct. Over leveraging is a killer when the bottom falls out; your left holding the bag. I have seen this personally before. But wouldnt many of the wealthy got to where they are by highly leveraging their businesses during times of growth?

    How much does it cost to have a contract written?

    Agreed. The more you do upfront the less the lawyer will claim they "have" to do, and therefore should make it cheaper. Lawyers will charge you high rates to just pull a boilerplate contract off their software then change a few things and presto you got $500 bucks for 30 minutes of work. Go into...

The other pricier...

    Stop and move on or take on the competition?

    Didnt mean to imply anything Jack ;), simply an analogy. It would be better if all states required ALL subs to be licensed but that is not the case.

    Stop and move on or take on the competition?

    Who gives a damn. I have learned if you let competition keep you from carrying on then your toast. You seem to have some numbers for that company, use that for a strategic analysis, possibly you have more? I for one have to agree somewhat with both JackEdwards and thebiz. If its competition you...

    How much is an idea worth?

    IDEA 
    Take MJ's perspective, if I may. Your pushing for success instead of pulling for it. If ideas were worth something then what you see on Shark Tank wouldn’t be hard products and businesses with existing cashflow but people with charts and ideas and no hard products or cashflow. As MJ has alluded...
