    Steal invention idea, not patented

    IDEA 
    Why not try to find the person who invented it and work with them to bring it to the US? Stealing someone else's livelihood for your own benefit is gross. You'll give yourself heart disease and your dreams will be haunted forever by the knowledge that you're starving someone in a 3rd world...

    Wanting to Manufacture / Engineering a Product - Avoiding China?

    INTRO 
    A lot of people here have experience with China, so they can comment on that. What about making your stuff right in the UK? Depending on what you're making, a "factory" doesn't have to be a multi-million dollar facility. The first Apple computers were made in a shitty room with soldering...

    How would you move MASSIVE inventory

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Do you want to be in the beauty supply business? I would be tempted to try to offload the whole thing at once. Auction, overstock company, or something like that. Then again, I've never ended up with $1mm in beauty supplies as a side effect of buying something else.

    Any books or similar education materials forselling an online course?

    MARKETING 
    How do you sell your face to face courses? I started there and eventually transitioned everyone to online courses. I don't know the first thing about adwords, and don't use them, so I can't help in that regard. But in my experience, whatever brings people to a live course will also bring them to...

    I've given away quite a few copies of Unscripted too.

    Maybe it's like a vacation where you don't have to engage in the drudgery of everyday work... all you have to do is survive. The passive person's version of going into the wilderness and roughing it?

    I don't want to live on this planet anymore

    HOT! RANT 
    Entitlement, or the feeling that they deserve things without having to take any action. Which is ironic, because they accuse productive people of being useless, while actually being unproductive themselves; or at least, not productive enough to make up for all the free services they demand as...

    I agree. If you didn't make antibodies strong enough to overcome the virus, you wouldn't get over the virus in the first place. Getting re-infected soon after recovery would imply a different strain, mutated sufficiently that your antibodies became irrelevant.

    The concept of VALUE - a frustrated outlook.

    MINDSET RANT 
    Want vs need is entirely subjective. People don't even 'need' to exist as individuals, they just want to survive. Words are traps for the mind to trip over. Reality: you can't decide what's objectively better for someone; you'll always be wrong, because "better" is purely subjective. That...

    Business Ethics Course

    Ah, I didn't even think of that. Masks and probably pricing issues that always get argued about when people start trying to hoard resources. Could also be an economics class in that case, but business ethics makes some sense now.

    Business Ethics Course

    The overall idea is tempting, but out of curiosity, why business ethics specifically? Out of all possible topics, that's not one that immediately comes to mind for me when I think "what could I learn about today?" Not that it's a bad topic either, it's just not something I would think up, so...

    Fair enough. I feel like the title was written to antagonize me, to be honest. It finally worked and caused me to rant about dwelling on pandemics when there's work to be done, so in the end it got me, OP wins this round. But I can make clickbait too, and revenge will eventually be mine.

    The title is basically "omg we're all gonna die from this virus aren't we?" I'm commenting on that, and the fact that 99% of all people who dwell on sensational bullshit like that will use it as an excuse to delay achieving their goals. If I sound cavalier, it's not because I haven't seen what...

    HOT! 
    The thing I feel like I need to point out here: Since the test is expensive, they're only testing people who look like death warmed over. That means the worst cases are being tested, and that makes the death rate look higher. Bias like this screws up medical research all the time, more so when...

    @BizyDad remember to shake your head for "yes" and nod your head for "no" in Bulgaria. Language includes body language, so be sure to study it before your great venture. Good luck ;)

    All Businesses Will Fail In a Couple Of Months??

    HOT! 
    The real opportunity revealed by Corona virus is that people who keep doing the normal things that obviously need to be done will reap the many rewards. The people who hesitate, hem and haw, and let yet another disaster change their course because uncertainty scared them into inaction will just...

    What do YOU think about "designer babies"? (genetically modified babies)

    HEALTH 
    Also, no I would not use it on a human (other than for real medical reasons), least of all my own children. There is a reason our species is still alive on this planet, and it's not because we understand all the ins and outs of good genetics. Diversity, reinforced by the combinatorial process...

    What do YOU think about "designer babies"? (genetically modified babies)

    HEALTH 
    When it comes to getting rid of genetic diseases and such, I'm all for it. People are going to have kids. If they can do something to ensure their kids don't have disabilities, more power to them. People who all want blond haired blue eyed model kids who look exactly like their favorite...

    Good, that's a good test to gauge their openness to doing more business, sending referrals, etc.

    I wrote an E-Book that's now paying for my car

    EXECUTION 
    How many sales has it made? Did you release anything new yet? If there are more than a handful of existing customers, I would try to make them happy with an unexpected free video, and ask them to refer their friends. They'll either do that, or they'll write you to complain about something (which...
