    I had never even considered selling fabric, but can understand why it would do well, especially when coordinated and packaged in such a way. I imagine the same could be done with a lot of scrapbooking/stationary stuff - although I imagine there are many others already doing the same thing. I...

    15 to 18 year old's, lets form a Skype CHAT!

    I wish there was a group like this around when I was 15 years old! I imagine that many of you have a different perspective on business development, marketing etc. It would be great if you could share the key points of your discussions here for us old farts to learn from. All the best.

    @Dinho7, don't get caught up in the whole 'if only she did this then I could be successful' way of thinking. That's just bullshit. Go and give your wife a hug and tell her how much you love her, then sit down together and figure out what your next step is...

    I disagree with this (with the exception of the car loan). Keep in mind that the cost of living varies a lot depending on location and family size etc. To me the spending listed by @Dinho7 seem pretty reasonable for a family of three.

    I wish! When my head is that bald I think I will grow my beard that long.

    How to Stand Out and be Unique?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Yeah, I agree with this. Read articles from a completely different industry and see how the ideas presented could be applied to the areas you specialize in. You want to come up with something that you could tell people at a party. Remember, it isn't about what you find interesting, but about...

    I drink it all day... Usually have four or five cups of good coffee between when I wake up (6 or 7am) until my last one at 4pm. If I'm planning on working late (>3am) I'll have another at 9pm, but that's pretty rare these days. Glad to hear you are making progress. What's the next most...

    I'm going to create a successful app.

    EXECUTION 
    Dude, don't spend £50,000 on an app, especially if you are off chasing a new business idea everyday and won't be likely to commit to it for the long haul. If there is nothing like it on the market, there is a probably a reason why... As well as developing the app, you'll need a decent budget...

    please answer!! drop shippers!!

    Yes, you would buy the stuff using your own cash... But @RazorCut is correct, you are better off looking for something more worthwhile to invest your time and energy in.

    I'm glad that was helpful for you @Dinho7 ... here are a few others you should scratch into your wall: "No matter what is happening right now, it will never happen again. Not quite like this anyway [...] You'll never have exactly these same advantages again. You could lose any of your...

    Any other Aussies?

    Hey Wal, I'm in Australia and there are many others on the forum who are as well. Have you checked out the interview with @Get Threaded about how she built her company? She is a fellow Aussie. @Kerin12 is also an Aussie, her progress thread is here. @MikeAU is another Aussie. =3158']This...

    I completely get it Birdie, I like my kids Christmases to be special as well, but your baby won't remember his first Christmas... nor his second or even third. That's okay though. Many of these special things we do for our kids are more for us than they are the kids! I don't think there is a...

    You can do better than this. This is pseudo progress. How long does it take to adjust prices? Surely that's not more than an hours work? Is a 'slightly better' looking store going to make any real difference? Since you are so short on time you need to focus on the stuff that really matters...

    Am I an unsupportive wife? Work-at-home parents

    PEOPLE 
    I don't know that it is so much about scheduling as it is about priorities. With a young baby, your schedule has to be fluid and while I agree that part time care would be helpful, more debt isn't... I'm a single dad with three kids who I look after full time. While they aren't babies anymore...

    Are You Still Sleeping?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've had this in front of me for a lot of this past year: Procrastination is fear. Let go, the hard stuff is how we achieve anything of value. Let go of the ideal that life will be comfortable or easy. From memory it's not a direct quote, but one of the essential messages from Leo Babauta's...

    OPEN INVITATION - Please find my flaws and shoot me down in flames

    This makes me think that you might be better targeting the third largest player in this industry as this is the kind of innovation that can help them compete with the big boys. They are also likely to be a lot hungrier...

    What's your plan with the construction business @Kid Money - is it the kind of business that you can sell if your online store does okay? Or can you find someone you trust to run it and take a portion of the profits?
