    How do I find a Mentor?

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    No, just thought I would try to help him learn about biz... $10 an hour was in my head to start, once he proves he is worth something move him up quickly. Just the fact that he asked me to cover his bills shows he is not a real entrepreneur. About 14 years ago a waiter at the restaurant I...

    Wrong way to think.. Sell for no profit, Don't do it.. Don't even think about it.... Think about it, you sell something at cost to a dist, you really going to go back and raise the price. what is going to happen is they are going to ask you to cut the price.

    Don't think so as they allready are making what they are trying to sell, they would have to redesign and build a way to make yours, on a hopes you can sell them.. Please remember having something built is the easy part.. Selling it is the hard part.

    No way to know the numbers of other compaines. You just need to know what you can do, realistically, or it will be a very short partnership.

    I have known him 25 years, since high school. We would always talk about business. If he wasn't such a gambler/drunk, he would easily be worth 1/2 a billion.
