    Dream Big, Right?

    MINDSET 
    Central Park, New York. 5 pigeons sit on a park bench. 1 pigeon decides to fly away. How many are left? -- -- Wait for it... -- -- 5 pigeons. -- Why? -- Because deciding to fly doesn't do shit! You have ambition. Time will tell if your actions follow your words.

    Genius Book Marketing

    I hope so. With an app, the problem becomes size. If I DID have an app, I'd love to convey gameplay information to the player by hiring voice actors to deliver information via HAM radio "::chhhhhhhh:: Attention, Downtown is now overrun with the zombie infestation, but there are rumors of a...

    This is a great brand differentiation. I have a zombie board-game I'm developing and I'm working alongside a composer to create a 'soundtrack' to the boardgame... so you play the music as you're playing the game to really give it a specific vibe. I came up with the idea because I play...

    Think twice about spendings

    MINDSET 
    Who cares? You trying to be edgy or you trying to make money? It's clear, clean, precise. Just go with something like "RentMagicCards" and let it be boring. If you want to change the name to be clever, do it later AFTER you've made a profit.

    All the questions you're asking us can't be answered by us, because we haven't tried to start a luxury concierge business yet. The only answers you'll get are the answers you create by succeeding/failing. Just start trying to sell people something. Find someone you think would be interested...

    Think twice about spendings

    MINDSET 
    I like the idea of buying your own cards and renting them out better. Being the middle-man in a 2-sided market has too many variables, not everybody can handle it (I know I can't). But by buying cards, you have a static you can 100% control.

    Saving time by being double productive

    MINDSET 
    The ultimate, is when you have more $ than time. Just hire someone. Even in college, I would spend 10 minutes doing motion graphics work, and then use that money to pay the local cleaner to do a month's worth of laundry for me all at once, including folding and sorting. That's leveraging time...

    Excitable people: How do you sleep?

    MINDSET 
    I GOT SLEEP LAST NIGHT! My problem is thinking too much about work... getting excited, and wanting to wake up and act on these ideas. The solution is to stop thinking about work. How did I accomplish this? Write up a to-do list for the next day. With a to-do list, I can feel confident in my...

    I Need Everyone To Critique My Sales Letter

    MARKETING 
    Many 5-star writers say "When I hit a road-block or start writing poorly, I give myself MORE rules". I'm like this, as well. I can't work unless I'm problem-solving... Without real-world problems, there's no problem-solving.

    Should I License my idea through my school?

    IDEA 
    It's silly that you're even asking this. Eff them. You can make the money you need through hustle. You don't need a silent partner who owns 55%.

    I Need Everyone To Critique My Sales Letter

    MARKETING 
    Another small note: writing copy for imagined brands is a bad exercise. Instead, pick a company that actually exists. Half of marketing is creatively working around your limitations. When you imagine a company, you have no limitations. So maybe pick a company, determine who is most likely to...

    Kindle vs Ebook vs Online Course?

    PUBLISHING 
    When I launched a single kindle book, I made $90 within 4 months. When that SAME book was launched independently for the same price, it made $250 in it's first week. Another book I launched independently made $2K/month starting with the first month. Yeah, there was a lot that went on behind the...

    I Need Everyone To Critique My Sales Letter

    MARKETING 
    Didn't even see this question: I personally charge $300-1000 depending on length and requirements. It really all depends. I don't really give-a-shit if I get the gig... I'm very happy not having to do extra clientwork. So when I quote a client, I tell them how much money it would take to make...

    I Need Everyone To Critique My Sales Letter

    MARKETING 
    Who is this written for? You're targeting is unclear and it effs with your messaging. The person renting a car for a road trip probably isn't the same person interested in "trying before buying". Let's break it down more thoroughly and examine technique. You need a catchier title. If you...

    Kindle vs Ebook vs Online Course?

    PUBLISHING 
    Kindle sucks for B2B style infoproduct... even as a lead magnet. I wouldn't bother... You'll just get discouraged by lack of results. Do an ebook + landing page. It's the FASTEST path between you and profitability. Once the ebook is done, create a course that expands on the ideas, as well as...

    Maybe. I generally DO get tired, very tired... and I lay down in bed, thinking I'm going to sleep. and then BOOM! I'm struck with a great idea that solves problems I was having on my project... my mind starts racing: "Will this work? If it does that opens up so many doors! What are my next...
