    Goodbye Middle America

    Cat- Of course these are excellent suggestions. However, one must remember that a politician's sole reason for existing is either to become reelected, or to quit and make money outside of government. You don't meet too many former congressmen who are flipping burgers or who "dabbled" in...

    Wal-Mart spends Millions to fight $7k fine

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Global - On the one hand, I completely agree that having 45 different sets of regulations is burdonsome and can be a barrier to innovation. Presumably, the states (because we are in a republic) have decided for themselves that thier particular regulations are right for them...

    What are your dreams?

    I dream of freedom. Freedom from "having a job", freedom from having someone tell me how to live my life (how to dress, when to go to work, when to go home, how to eat my lunch, etc.). Of course, I have lofty aspirations like the rest of us, like life goals or industries we'd love to start or...

    Messy room - does it mean anything?

    MINDSET 
    I heard once that a messy room is a collection of decisions deferred. When you fail to put something in its place as defined by you, its owner, you are failing to make a decision either about where it needs to go, or why you don't want to put it there. When I heard that, I think of that every...

    Help me define "Value"

    Value to me is either a problem solved or sentimental value. If you hand me a necklass of pasta, it will have little to no value as the necklass doesn't solve any of my problems. Therefore, I can think of no use for it, and it will be of little situational or problem-solving value to me. On...

    I have yet to create a truly successful business like the one you describe, but I would imagine that the key to growing any business is reinvestment of profits. If your business is pulling in around $1mil per year, couldnt you take a significant portion of your profits and either open another...

    Whats Your Favorite Book To Read?

    MINDSET 
    I feel that if providing value is #1 in importance, #2 has to be getting your name/service out there. I am always amazed by the number of companies that, if I never read publications like Entrepreneur or Inc.com, I would have never heard about, even though they are considered some of the top in...

    Business Idea - Thoughts

    IDEA 
    I know that openly discussing your idea amongst a bunch of highly motivated entrepreneurs is a bad idea, but considering all the other things I have on my plate I doubt I would do anything about it anyway - basically I just wanted to get my idea off my chest. So I was browsing craigslist...

    The take-away lesson is how can you cater to this market - imagine if you were known as the "playboy private eye", with a reputation as one of the best private investigators of the rich and famous. Imagine how much money a desparate housewife would pay for that evidence if it could land her...

    Every person knows that if you get divorced, your wife gets half your stuff (with some exceptions, but generally that's how it goes).
