    Do you have a tattoo?

    HOT! 
    Wow, that sounds really short sighted. If you have someone who is great at their job and wants to continue on into a leadership role, why force them out for something that doesn't keep them from doing their job?

    Is writing a book fast lane?

    HOT! 
    I think the two main factors in this equation are Productivity and Scalability. How much time and effort does it take you to write the book? What else could you have been doing with that time? Then once the book is done, how will it get into the hands of people who would like to read it, and...

    Describe aging in a few words.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Aging is the process by which physical energy declines towards zero, while life experience, perspective, wisdom, and grace have their opportunity to increase to their maximum within a lifetime. How each of us uses this opportunity or squanders it is up to us, and worthy of increasing reflection...

    Starting in my family business. Any advice on what to do, what not to do?

    I think that's excellent advice. In general, it's a good idea for most new managers to simply observe for around 1 to 3 months before making any big changes. That gives you time to see how things currently work, who's involved, and start to ask why things are the way they are. Something that...

    Well if you ever do get saved, you're already carrying the cross, so it should be easy for you!

    Do you have a tattoo?

    HOT! 
    I didn't know about that, since I've met so many military vets with tattoos. Is that still policy for most of the armed services?

    Do you have a tattoo?

    HOT! 
    Do you save the leads from the "tattoo artist" ads, and two years later start sending them pitches for tattoo removal?

    One of the few really meaningful tattooes that impresses me, is Wil Wheaton's arm decorated with the first sonogram of his kid's heartbeat before birth.

    It could've been worse, you could've fallen in love with South Dakota and had Mount Rushmore tattooed onto you.

    Do you have a tattoo?

    HOT! 
    I've never had any interest in undergoing a procedure that looks really painful, introduces a risk of infection, and permanently alters my skin through scars and ink. Just hasn't had any appeal to me ever. I do recognize that there are some people who have very amazing art that they got custom...

    How to make 15-20K in 4 hours..EVENTS!

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I lived for a while where the bowling alley & pizza place had open mike comedy night once a week. That would be a dirt cheap way to find out if people will actually show up for comedy, and if so to build a list. As you talk to these people, you can start to gauge whether it would be worth your...

    Copywriting Challenge May 2018 (Join me)

    EXECUTION 
    Yes, if you only read one of these books, read Breakthrough Advertising. For a second book, The Boron Letters. I think Boron is the only one in the stack that discusses how to find stuff to sell and markets to sell it to. The others assume that you already have something to promote.

    Which operating system do you and other entrepreneurs use? (computer and mobile)

    I think I'll want to get a Surface Book later this year. Every now and then I look up whether it fully works under Linux. It seems they're getting really close to having a completely usable option to dual boot to Linux, but still some gotchas. I'm running both Win7 and Linux in virtual...

    Growing A Web Design Business From Zero

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    Great job! Nice work finding your project clients. And way to go to think about residual income. I recommend you check out Andy Black's discussions of how he runs his client's Adwords campaigns for an ongoing monthly flat fee, plus they pay the cost of the ads directly. There are some good...

    Growing A Web Design Business From Zero

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    In the summer, maybe you could ask some other business owners if they'd be interested in lead generation from you, or in being a subcontractor if you get the client and do all the project management. There are plenty of code stars who'd love to have someone else show up with projects for them...
