    The US Needs More Tradespeople

    HOT! 
    I'm seeing a lot of people under 35 (sorry to generalize) who think work is sitting in a certain building and playing with their phones for 8 hours a day. Anyone working on a "coding camp" for trade laborers?

    Study Concludes: 85% of Business Success Attributed to “Soft Skills.”

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I take a heuristic approach to prudence, because I don't have time to over-analyze a bunch of nonsense before making every move. I had a lot of fun reading Plato to Sartre (stopped about there), and everything in between, but eventually you have to just do something. Additionally, I'm...

    My old boss, who owned a chain of furniture stores, would fart at the restaurant table, smoke cigarettes at his desk, and blow his nose onto the floor. He was worth $35 million when he died, and I hope to be on his level someday.

    By all means then, carry on. There's a cultural issue here; one that required the creation of a "men's room". I don't know... I've made three major purchases through ad clicks here (payroll, insurance, and an awesome band saw). I try to contribute as best i can, usually by pointing people...

    82 reply pig-pile on a new guy that said something silly. We've all done it before somewhere and at some time. (I'm probably doing it now.) Guess he won't be clicking any ads, becoming an insider, or making any market place purchases, nor will the 1000's of parked/ new contributors who see how...

    @Sadik just offered his take on an article that was dropped here with no context or analysis by the op. Given the source/ mainstream perception of where income comes from (5 days; on 2 days off), and what it should be spent on (leveraged to the max on a mcmansion and this year's Lexus suv)...

    As someone who's been on those medications myself, I've grown to believe the meds are intended to bring me over to their world, but as an adult, I've shifted gears, and started just bringing my world over to them. Less friction and helps keep me focus, so to speak, on providing my style of...

    For some kids, developmental psychologists and pediatricians believe so. I think it's all a bit of a misnomer, to be honest. Everyone can keep their attention fixed on something; maybe just not what the facilitators of the SCRIPT would like at any given time. I tend to suspect this study is tied...

    I build and sell my own stuff. Not fastlane, I know, but I'm actually getting there gradually with employees and 1099 contractors. Been at it for about 4-5 years now. I have very little experience with sourcing and selling shit. Just addon accessories to my own products that I buy off...

    Are you selling big ticket stuff? I get about 200 times roi on boosted facebook marketplace ads. $10 in and 4 orders at $500/each, but I'd probably lose my shirt if I was selling shirts. My business is weird though, and my answers never make sense in a traditional eCommerce sense.

    Selling unprofitable business

    I'm curious, have you tried lookalike audiences, based on your previous 1200 buyers, on Facebook? May be more bang for your buck than a $2000 spray and pray influencer plug. Disregard if you've tried it all already.

    Selling unprofitable business

    Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the dudes here how to turn the venture around? Maybe there's something you missed, or that you can tweek, to bring it to life. Anyone can start an unprofitable business for free.

    Hi Walter, I love your contributions on here. Thank you! I'm about 10 pages deep into a "Franchising" search in the archives, and I'm only finding "thinking about franchising", so I'd love to buy that guide when you do make it, because... well... I'm "thinking about franchising".

    Is black magic the real key to wealth? (And other lies we sell ourselves)

    I always interpreted the cave allegory as setting aside the metaphysical dogma (secret esoteric stuff or mass media), a spiritual and intellectual Script, and checking out the real work for yourself, even going so far as to look directly into the sun according to the dialog. Using Newtons...
