    IDEA 
    It sounds like your customer could be the hardware store like Home Depot or Ace, where they have to call the client when a contractor/handyman is in the checkout lane. Or the contractor, so they can buy the supplies.

    Martial Arts, Combat Sports, Self-Defense Systems - What Do You Practice?

    HOT! OFF-TOPIC 
    I'll prelude by saying that eye contact, emotional control, and words have gotten me through many things where a fight was not absolutely required. I've come to consider these things as part of martial arts, in that they can end conflict, sometimes even violent conflict. I spent several years...

    The assertion that there is not an objective truth is, paradoxically, a claim that comes down to an objective fact statement: "there is not." It might be the weakest possible statement from which to form a philosopher's stone. What could be less bold than refusing to assert anything as the basis...

    100% chance the Elmo suit wears a mask, they play-act all the political pressures including a few that will make you crawl out of your skin, and individual choice plays the foil for the glories of collectivist submission. And it will still be fun, because you're with your family. Personally I...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    Seems reasonable as long as we count in duodecimal. Which we do whenever counting times and dates... probably because there's no easy way to divide a circle into 10 parts, yet you can divide a circle into 12 easily, with 6 lines that are not difficult to place (like a clock). The real question...

    The second article you quote may hint at poor research practices. For example, if a previous study for FDA approval (1996) showed a large pain relieving effect, you have to question whether the 2013 study shows a difference in the patients, or in the researchers. We've have a very big problem in...

    Should I offer customers credit terms?

    EXECUTION 
    I would hesitate to do so. If they can't get a line of credit or a credit card to cover the orders, what niche are you filling? Sub-prime business credit I suppose. If you're equipped for that and have collections and AR routines in place maybe that's fine, but if not it sounds like a bad idea...

    16 Years old, and need business ideas.

    INTRO 
    You don't need a corporation, you can just offer a service and get paid for it like every teenager and kid in history who has started anything. Once you get something going, you can worry about incorporation and other details.

    Even now, most people will not translate, decipher, or investigate anything without detailed step by step instructions and prodding every few minutes. Which is why in 1 million years I assume life on Earth will consist mostly of barnacles, snails, and cephalopods. Some wizened species, tired...

    Tin Foil Hat Time: Are Aliens Here?

    HOT! CHAT 
    All I know is, when I startled a group of the reptiley looking ones, they asked which plant or mushroom I used to get there. I was like "who tf are you guys? I was just meditating." They were confused and seemed to think we apes lack the ability to visit without being drugged. The insight I got...

    A 12 inch cubed tungsten block with raised lettering in 6 languages which, if translated, would point to data on an engraved inner chamber of the cube. That data would be sequenced DNA and instructions for cloning, incubation of the clone in a mammalian species (if any still exist), feeding, and...

    Keeping wealth can be super hard, so it's good to have some rules and examples of what not to do. Whenever I'm trying to remember not to sell a $10 million work of art for a few bucks at a garage sale, I'll think of this example: Guy sells priceless ancient art for a few bucks at a garage sale.

    That's weird... but engineered differently, I've seen companies add potential upside without (I think) being awkward. For example, Humble Bundles has "pay what you want" pricing. I'm guessing they make it harder to pay zero, though I think in their case you can. People do pay more than the...

    Nervousness Cold Calling

    MARKETING MINDSET EXECUTION 
    This is great on so many levels. One, it's not annoying so you don't become the pushy sales guy who walks in and interrupts people for half an hour while they're on the clock. Two, the psychology is spot on. You just delivered something, that the person in charge will obviously want so much that...

    How should I start to learn copywriting?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    This would be my advice for almost any skill: apply it immediately, while you're learning. With writing, you can start by making versions and variations on existing ads, letters, postcards, stories, sites, or whatever. Pick ones you think are good and work with them. Take an ad for makeup and...

    Has anyone else come to terms with the fact that they really hate sitting in front of a computer and how it's going to affect your business/Fastlane?

    QUESTION 
    I avoid things that I know I won't do. For example, I was introduced to cubicles as a kid and immediately knew I would never hold an office job long term. I also intensely hate repetitive tasks and certain aspects of management... so I make sure to have people or automation or something that...
