    I agree totally that customers dont know what they want. However, is it not just a case of a quick phone call to tell them what they want and how much they need to pay? I feel its down to the developer to communicate his/her expertise on the subject as the customer might not be from the...

    Walking across the river for the first time, will feel like a tidal wave. I am halfway into this river (working for the man and running my business) but I have got my faith in what is outlined in the book. I`ve got my vehicle in 6th gear (metaphorically) and my seat belt on for the rough ride...

    Starting a niche App - Wish me Luck

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    As a customer of many sorts, it would ruin any business relationship, if a service provider rated me as a dick. I`m not sure what the commentator would have to gain from rating a customer; and from a business perspective, if a customer pisses me off, I choose to either continue working with...

    I always thought that in this kind of transaction, money was king. Everyone has a price, regardless of bad clients. The world would be a crazy place if I had to essentially audition to hire a developer, considering that I would be the one that was paying. Sure developers want to work with...

    If you read any of Grant Cardone's books, you will see errors everywhere. Still has a huge following, regardless. Good luck with the writing man

    Is Direct Mailing Still Feasible?

    When I was 8, I made about 100 flyers (by hand) to offer car washing services. From that, I had 40% response rate. (probably because they felt sorry for me) I remember the call to action (not what I called it then) "Call now 4 the kleenist car in brimingham" I couldn't handle the demand... 1st...

    Limitations of BuddyPress?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    So I am building a social media website at the moment, or at least creating a mock up pre-crowdfund. Thought, I have been confronted with a problem. I was looking have users create their communities (groups), so people can join that community and communicate with each other; but I dont want it...

    UK Meetup

    MEETUPS 
    So where is this taking place? This will be my first, so unsure if locations are set? Would it not make sense to set for the same date every single month, so we can all know in advance? I can make this too! I`m nr Birmingham but I am willing to travel

    Ethics over money

    MINDSET 
    If you approach things from an ethical standpoint and offer value to lots of people (ethically), you will get paid. I am starting a non-profit at the moment and all I focused on is offering value and building a great product. I`ll figure out how to monitise later (though I have it all planned)

    If a poem looked as though a 5 year old had written it, would you still read it? I certainly would, it might be the most beautiful poem you`ll ever read. If I was you, i`d just start writing. As long as you have a strong enough message, who cares? You`ll always get the haters and grammar...

    How do I tell him?

    Well, I`m in the process of starting a non-profit, so going all out to offer value then hopefully I`ll have something to monotise when I have a fantastic product ready. In terms of showing him a different path, I have just failures so far ;) My friend, he is uber intelligent and has read many...

    How do I tell him?

    Some great answers here. I really did not want to be confrontational about it. I`m pretty much a no BS guy but I can see his passion; and I guess because I have the upmost respect, its hard to disagree with his passion. Like many of you said, if he told me that what I was doing was wrong, i`d...

    How do I tell him?

    Hey, I have this friend who I really respect and have known him for quite a while now. Problem is, he has been looking into property investment for a couple of months now(with little capital) and first it started off with books, which is fine but now he is going to seminars and paying personal...

    Ecommerce vs. cold calling

    MARKETING 
    Everyone avoids cold calling but I think it's so important, though I'm old school ;) You need to learn to sell. You can have the greatest product in the world but if you can't sell it, you lose. Just take a look at Apple. Crap products but because they sell and market their hardware well, they...
