    I'm Going Back To School!

    Plumbing sounds like a good idea. Plumbers in the US are like 60+ years old on average... the kids are all trying to be managers or financial advisors or something. So, let them compete for 401k rollovers, and you save up some money.

    New Gulfstream G700

    Me. I would splurge for a plane that can make international flights. And experienced pilots so I don't die. It could be a while before I'm at that level. ;)

    Older brother just tried to recruit me into a pyramid scheme LOL

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ok, MLM story time. I started an entrepreneurship meetup group a few years ago. Usually I would get 5-6 people, and we would do talks on technique, strategy, finance, or some topic of interest. Half the time it was me talking to people who were trying to get started, which was fine. I remember...

    Poor guy :( Well if he already has his license, insurance can be a good business to be in, either as a job seeker or an entrepreneur. Just, in my opinion, the P&C side is better because the commissions recur every year (or 6 months) at renewal. Start an independent agency and actually execute...

    Nice find. It looks like it works similarly to TDCS and TMS, using the field effect to change action potentials across neuron membranes. But surprisingly, they seem to think it inhibits amyloid aggregation too. If the design they're using can do that without the inconvenience of TDCS (electrodes...

    WeWork Sunk Cost Fallacy

    CEO severance: $1.7B. Employee severance: Oops, we're too broke to pay that. Employee shares: probably worth $0. Other investor shares: whatever they can get at a fire sale? All I can see it as is a fraud. Startup culture seems to somehow excuse people from making duplicitous promises and...

    Wow, I saw the date on the first post and somehow thought it was from today. Oh well. the advice is still good for next time, probably ;) Congrats on your baby!

    Had to let go an employee today - what a day!

    PEOPLE 
    Always a rough experience. Sleep on it and you'll feel better. Maybe write the employee a letter of recommendation to help them find a new job, since it was no fault of theirs that the job didn't work out. Keep in mind, you gave the employee an opportunity. It didn't work out, and that's too...

    Anybody here a Freemason?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I agree. Although there may be something to be said for the fraternal part of it, the social and collective aspects (for those who want them), you don't need initiations and rites to learn secret things. Information can not hide. The secrets of Masons, physicists, Taoists, philosophers, monks...

    I think tagging @AllenCrawley or @Fox will get someone who can move your thread to the inside. I hope that's right :)

    Another thought on systems. When you're looking at your crew (in the existing biz or the new ones), try to quantify, or at least estimate, the impact of different efficiency sinks. Then go after one of the big ones and see if you can fix it. Example: if cold weather is a big one, and you have...

    EXECUTION 
    My gut says go with something related to your existing business. Maybe get a ShopBot and make the closets and doors for your construction projects, and sell to other construction companies? Or go with the solar lighting, and find good ways to systematize and automate. Offer them locally as well...

    How is the Swiss welfare state is funded, do you know? Is it off of income taxes from people who are working in regular jobs? I suggest making a serious study of the business you go into, while experimenting with it. Study successful brands in the wild. Read any related threads you can find...
