    Yes, good point. Socrates was amazing at that. Didn't save him from the hemlock, but he could lead people to a conclusion like no other.

    How's that for an abstract title? Sorry! If you're a philosopher, follow along. If you hate abstract ideas, please avoid burning my house down in frustration. I want to start by saying that people can say things, and people can do things. What they say does not always match what they do. Do you...

    HOT! CHAT 
    Related (abstract) thought: "Centralized" always implies "efficiency." "Distributed" always implies "resilience." You can't be both entirely centralized and distributed. You can't be both perfectly efficient and resilient. Adding resilience duplicates effort and adds redundancy, so it is not...

    Alter Ego - What entrepreneurial alter ego would you choose?

    MINDSET 
    I like to channel Socrates, so to speak, because it reminds me to ask good questions. I just have to remember to turn him off before someone makes me drink hemlock.

    MARKETING 
    So if you spend 500 on pinterest do you make 5000? Or do you have to spend a few thousand to find out? Do all of your pinterest campaigns work, or do some fail? Is there a success ratio you've measured so far? Any insights on what's different between the successes and failures?

    I turned off all my Amazon PPC and sales dropped...

    MARKETING 
    I don't know much about amazon ppc because I don't use paid advertising. But I've always wondered if ppc "captures" clicks you already have because it appears above your organic result. In other words, the user searches for your product. You appear in sponsored results, then organic results...

    Alarming inner quality

    MINDSET 
    LOL. There is CE here in the States where you can get 24 hours of credits in 15-20 minutes. Just skip to the super easy quizzes! Some of the courses are so terrible (and inane, useless) it's almost funny. I think they should get rid of the requirements if they aren't even going to have serious...

    Turning my viral Youtube video into a Productocracy

    Probably what attracted people to your video was a combination of: Most people don't follow through with ambitious projects like that They also don't have the skills They wish they did though It's awesome to do things for kids People want to do things with their kids "Roller coaster" probably...

    I'm Too Comfortable

    RANT 
    Yikes! No, don't do this. Wrong direction. Camp out in your parents' yard if you need to rough it. At least you won't likely be killed that way. I would say build something, anything, and learn how you can scale it efficiently. Also read books about business, especially if they tell you about...

    Platform to sell license

    EXECUTION 
    Markets are things you discover or make yourself. There's a market for it if you make an audience, show them what they're missing, present what you can give them that fixes that, and convince them to take the next step with you. There are sooo many marketing threads in this forum that I won't...

    Feeling depressed.

    MINDSET 
    Even if there's supposedly a sunk cost in there somewhere, that's in the past. What do you have right now? You have a house with some equity, and it is worth something. You haven't wasted anything. Think about "now" and "forward." That's how you get to your goals. The only thing past...

    Your Stock Picks for this Economy

    INVESTING 
    Well, in fact I often don't read news, but that's not what I mean. What I mean is that I invest in companies that are not publicly traded. Typically you have to prove a certain level of financial stability to invest in them, at least in the US (look up "accredited investor"). Since these...

    An Excel Course?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I actually don't know a whole lot about it, except that it's a face to face course, and it teaches "more than excel as a calculator." Do you have a course yet? Send me a link and I will send it on to him.

    Also, early stage companies that aren't on the public markets yet. It's times like these when I am happy to be shielded from the emotional decision making and mindless algorithms that sometimes influence the exchanges. At least, for my buy and hold strategies. For volatility trading or theory...

    Your Stock Picks for this Economy

    INVESTING 
    More than stock picks, I'm looking at option spreads on the market indexes. I like to make spreads that take volitility in either direction and make profit out of it, and/or safely capitalize on the loss of time value on an option (since time value is a bitter enemy when it's on the other side)...

    Not to mess with anyone's head or anything, but what if everyone rushes the Costco to stock up on stuff and a few of the people there have the virus? Seems like Costco or Walmart could be the new "Broad Street pump handle" of cholera fame. And not only do you collect people up there and...
