    Idea: Limited Time Only Threads

    IDEA 
    I would love an "Invite-Only" type of section. Not sure the specifics behind it, but I know I'd like that.

    Bringing my invention to market….Amusement Park Attraction.

    EXECUTION 
    If this statement is true, I'd definitely license the attraction to a company that manufactures these rides if possible. Or I'd try to secure a character licensing deal with marvel and then include it with a license offer to a company that manufactures the rides (Might not even be possible) My...

    Bringing my invention to market….Amusement Park Attraction.

    EXECUTION 
    If it was me, I'd license it. It's good to see some more business ideas outside of what I'm used to seeing. Good luck!

    This is how you find million dollar ideas [DETAILED]

    IDEA 
    If I only I was....Made $3k from that :). I know it sounds like BS though. A guy kept telling me no via email. I wasn't selling anything, just asking what his problems were. After hopping on Skype, his voice was hesitant and unsure about a lot of things he'd previously said no on. So instead...

    This is how you find million dollar ideas [DETAILED]

    IDEA 
    I ask for their time to see if there is anything I can help with. If there is, I figure out how much that problem is costing them and sell a solution that cost less than the problem is costing them. Win-Win situation. You're too focused on the stats of someone's website (I've been guilty of...

    This is how you find million dollar ideas [DETAILED]

    IDEA 
    After reading your post, I think you have the wrong mindset. The customer or potential customer isn't trying to help you build your business. He wants his problem solved. That's his motivation. Why should they know how your business works or even care? ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS GETTING THEIR...

    This is how you find million dollar ideas [DETAILED]

    IDEA 
    Bright minds don't some psychic power that allows them to know what problems people are having :)... Unless they experienced the problems themselves or talked to the people with the problems. Most don't know much about your business or care how it works. But they do know a lot about their own...

    This is how you find million dollar ideas [DETAILED]

    IDEA 
    That seems like a good idea! I dislike doing it, but just do it because it works. A VA could get it done though. Needs to speak english with a non foreign accent though. Foreign accents seem telemarketer like (i used to get these from direct tv a lot)

    This is how you find million dollar ideas [DETAILED]

    IDEA 
    2.3k words at an avg reading speed is about 8 minutes - Half that speed is 16 minutes If you felt it was too long to read. Cool, don't read. Post something of value. Saying "ask" isn't valuable.

    This is how you find million dollar ideas [DETAILED]

    IDEA 
    After reading this on Reddit, I thought I'd share it here. I know we've talked about this before and some people have went slightly in detail, but not to this extent. This is how you find million dollar ideas by talking to your customers. BEWARE THIS POST IS 2.3k+ WORDS. I've formatted it to...

    How much funding do Startups need?

    Those CEO salaries won't pay themselves ;) I'd imagine that it's because they have negative cashflow from trying to grow quickly with no real monetization strategy in place. Then once their user base hits the calculated number *poof*, they implement the monetization strategy and start bringing...

    Welcome Jim. Good to see another Clevelander here. Seems like you've experienced the control factor of 9-5 jobs. (Being let go and having your income sliced immediately) I'd recommend getting an insiders subscription and then posting your idea and what you've done so far. You might read the...

    The Mindset Shifts That Can Transform Your Life

    MINDSET 
    2 words changed a lot for me: Question Everything That phrase helped me realize that nothing (or close to it) is -> "the way it's supposed to be done". Opinion: Everything can be changed/improved

    Touch barrier in a professional environment?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    For me, I just go off the vibe of the other person. When on tour, I'd usually hug, or put my arms around the females and handshake with the dudes. Whenever I couldn't tell, I'd just ask in a weird/funny way. Like "How are we gonna take this photo, hands up, down, left right, smile, frown...
