    Why Haven't You Started?

    I love the concept about scientists vs engineers. Go od stuff. I actually think that the timeframe to start a profitable business is a lot smaller than anybody realizes once you hit your stride an make leaps everyday. Sent from my KFTHWI using Tapatalk

    Need Advice on my Mystery Box idea

    IDEA 
    It might be a good idea to take a photographs of a plain box with a few relevent knicknacks inside. Until then use some stock photography: http://uniquebidnow.com/uploaded/a12a9b6bdd0fc027930746cadedaf94c.jpg Isn't $5 too low? As a customer I don't think I'd even bother with a $5 box. What...

    Need Advice on my Mystery Box idea

    IDEA 
    Your landing page needs more info on it. What will happen when I click "notify me". It seems obvious to you but many people will see the email form and leave. How often do you email me? Will you spam me? Will you take me to the next page in the process that asks for a credit card? How does this...

    This is brilliant. Perfection is the measure of an outcome. By doing things without expecting perfect results (or any results at all) you lose obsession of perfect practices.

    Kindle Unlimited... Authors in trouble?

    I hear what you're saying @COSenior . It's not necessarily about just "Built it and they will come" which is how I came off. In reality I see it more as "BE DAMN GOOD and they will come." Be a damn good writer, a damn good marketer, a damn good hustler. Separately, I do take issue with some...

    Advice? Sure. You have a misconception about what business is. The best advice for you right now is: Learn how to play Jazz Learn how to Sail Learn how to Cook It sounds cheeky but it's legit advice. Jazz has no predefined rules or structure. It's freeflowing and you go where it takes you...

    I've been doing a TON of research on motivation. I've slowly become obsessed with it. Why we don't act on things we KNOW are good for us. Why fat people keep eating junk, why poor people keep wasting their money, why smokers smoke... Contrary to what I thought it's not just about laziness...

    Wow, this dude's a F*cking visionary. He's always dynamically pivoting, deconstructing business models and rebuilding them the way they make sense to exist. I've never read this quote before but I think I have a freakin mancrush on him now.

    I'm ON THIS VERY FORUM because MJs book is damn good. After purchasing and reading the book, I googled it and ended up here. Now I pay to talk to other people who are just as fanatical about the concepts introduced as I am. I never knew that Brandon Sanderson or Jim Butcher had a fandom until I...

    Kindle Unlimited... Authors in trouble?

    The same content trends are happening across the board. Spotify, Netflix, Hulu. This is just like Taylor Swift leaving spotify because she says it hurts her record sales. Long tail and micro-niches are STILL on the rise while mass-market is dying. Soon the idea that an artist can make a full...

    Are low cost "tripwire" offers unethical?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Who cares? It's a good discussion. Does it really matter if the post that prompted it was disingenuous? Lots of good higher-level thinking and ideas coming out of it, people seem engaged, and there's practically NO rep, speed, recognition, money, or promotion upside from the OP even if it was...

    Are low cost "tripwire" offers unethical?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    It's a fun for us to poke fun because McDonalds is a pretty low-rent business mass-marketed towards the lowest common denominator... aWe associate McDonalds employees with sidewalking and we associate their customers with low-class people who don't care about the future. Let's not forget that...

    Are low cost "tripwire" offers unethical?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    Hahaha, Unethical. That word doesn't mean anything anymore. People use it wrong too often. In no world is using a tripwire product unethical. The peeps who call it unethical don't understand the concept clearly enough. Their misunderstanding leads to improper categorizations. The people who...

    If you get a chance, listen to the TropicalMBA guys, Dan and Ian. Killer material and being a loaded digital nomadic business owner. IF you enjoy traveling and haven't checked them out, they have really good stuff. Since you're a personal trainer, I say it's a really good idea to stick to what...

    I think within the next 200 years we'll be living in a 99% entertainment/artistic economy. Yes, robots can 'entertain' and do utility art, but knowing that a performance or piece of art reflects and relates to the human experience is why we seek it.

    Yes, a crown cleanup on a 100 foot tree. Yes haircuts, yes chiropracty, yes detailed artistry and precision fine tuning of instruments. It's not a theory or a pipe-dream. It's inevitable. It's very romantic to cling to these soon-to-be relics. It doesn't have to be bad. I've been dreaming and...
