    Well, you said to ask anything :) Do you ever do any investing (stock market) based on your knowledge of drugs? I'm asking because I follow this company, which has come out w/a combination drug for pain/blood pressure. They have received a US patent and passed their Phase III with flying...

    Business ideas for teenage entrepreneurs

    IDEA 
    Amazing. Same as AirBnB or Uber - utilizing existing excess capacity. This is also in Tesla's master plan (near the end): You will also be able to add your car to the Tesla shared fleet just by tapping a button on the Tesla phone app and have it generate income for you while you're at work...

    Building a brand versus business partnerships

    Did I understand correctly that you can partner for 30% - or work 2 more years for 100% and be at a level near that of the partnership. What's the question? To save a couple of years of work you'll give up ownership? IF you were to say that you could never reach anywhere near the same level...

    Is raising the price a bad idea?

    IDEA 
    What is the added value of using your service to a business? Maybe you should charge $5,000? Add a couple of hours consulting and change the package entirely. Dan Kennedy has some amazing books, etc. about price elasticity. Price on the value you bring to them....

    Quickly Testing Demand before Building a Working Prototype

    Read Stephen Key's book and look at his youtube channel. BTW, I'm not successful at this - I'm just trying and I see that the process works. My ideas suck, but the process works. :)

    Quickly Testing Demand before Building a Working Prototype

    In general, I'm a huge fan of licensing. Look at it like this: you can prototype, sell a bit, manufacture, market, figure out logistics, blah blah blah... and spend 2 year of your life for a product that may or may not take off. OR you can put together a great rendering, a sell sheet, and...

    family matters: how do you get any work done

    MINDSET 
    My friend, never ask that question. Daily action is the key. Every day, except for the Sabbath (and then at night). An hour a day is more valuable than 3 hours every few days... it gives you time to think and refine.... just don't stop (btw, I have 8 kids, but no night time feedings now :) )

    You arrive in new city. What business would you start and why?

    The scalability could come in the form of creating a membership course/info products - the Dan Kennedy approach.

    You arrive in new city. What business would you start and why?

    We'll be starting a thread on this soon, but - we live in a city with a lot of high end vacation condominiums, and we are now looking at starting a property maintenance service for absentee landlords.

    IDEA 
    I was so happy to ready this... and also, I'll notice that all discussion of the copycat has disappeared from the thread as you continue to focus on improving your business. Focusing on what's in front of you and not worrying about the rest - that's a great example to keep in mind.
