    Tormented by Procrastination and Doubt, Advice?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've found that when I procrastinate it's often because I lack a clear understanding of the overall strategy and my "why". Why do you want to start a business?

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    I think another thing this will expose, and @Iwokeup will back this up, is there is almost no surge capacity in our medical system for anything outside of the norm, especially in our emergency rooms and intensive care wards. As an example, when I worked in EMS in Richmond, a capital city with...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    Yes, however we need to be diligent about containing the outbreak in other countries, if for no other reason than the virus has shown some potential for aerosolization. We don't want a million-plus hosts with the opportunity to give the virus a chance to mutate into a more transmissible form in...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    Having sold to that market (preppers), the FDA and CPSC don't allow that kind of marketing. They shut it down pretty quick.

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    One reason is that there is almost no specific effective treatment after exposure to Ebola. AIDS biosafetly level went from 3 to 2 for this reason - the treatments got a lot better.

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    Likely an attempt to control the production/distribution of any vaccine. Probably along the lines of preventing a private company from "hogging" the genome so that only they could produce a vaccine. There were some SCOTUS actions about genomic patents that will probably render this application...

    Ebola in the USA... Anyone Concerned?

    HEALTH 
    The problem with letting the outbreak fester in 3rd world countries is that the opportunity for mutation/adaptation to a more transmissible form of the virus is heightened each time a new person is infected. Ebola Reston as one example in the primate world. Without getting into details, rest...

    The 2015 Fastlane Meetup Pre-Plan Discussion (formerly B&P)

    MEETUPS 
    My recommendation would be a 3 person panel with 1 moderator, 10 min. remarks/presentation per panelist, moderated Q&A for 20 min. 1 hr-ish total time. That's how they tend to do it in DC, +/- 5min/panelist.

    The 2015 Fastlane Meetup Pre-Plan Discussion (formerly B&P)

    MEETUPS 
    I've done moderator prep for a number of DC panels (usually comprised of generals/admirals, congressional folks, think tank leaders, etc.). I'd be happy to moderate.

    Scrub Club

    Have you thought about a "Scrub of the Month" club, with well-designed,fashionable, fitted scrubs? If there is one group that will spread something they like through a word of mouth campaign, it's nurses/hospital staff.

    One Doctor's Journey

    EXECUTION 
    @Iwokeup do you guys have clickable wireframe mockups (or an actual beta) to demo yet to prospective clients? Went to a great meetup in DC and heard a step-by-step B2B sales funnel presentation that I think could apply to you guys.

    ONE Sale Changes Everything

    Right there with you @AndrewNC - it never ceases to amaze me how my mind will do crazy things to avoid going that last 1%, but when I finally do it not only does it feel great (and sales or other positive actions usually result), but I look back and go "why did I wait so long to put up that...

    The 2015 Fastlane Meetup Pre-Plan Discussion (formerly B&P)

    MEETUPS 
    I'd be happy to share my experiences with Amazon FBA, finding products to sell, and getting your own buy box even when 30 other companies sell under the same brand you do. I'd also be happy to talk about working in DC as a speechwriter and how to apply the techniques we use for writing...

    I feel so alone...

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    My input is that you have to talk to people. You can't hide behind a computer. Go out and talk to real people in the real world, ask them how you can help them, and do it. When I've hid behind a computer, I've failed. When I've talked to real people, I've succeeded. Just food for thought.
