    Just Spoke to Someone with a Problem

    When you're next both at the coffee shop, you could ask some follow up questions. Suppose that a therapist had an office manager who could return all the calls, check emails, schedule clients who don't have a crisis issue so they are okay to wait a while, and most importantly, do all the...

    Pediatric dentist looking for entrepreneurial pediatrician

    Your headline made me imagine a Very Special Movie Of The Week about some specialists who found true love online.. and had a lot to smile about! ;-) Your desired collaborators have to be licensed. Can you rent a mailing list from the Dental Board and send out a simple one page "Dear Colleague"...

    is Coding/Programming considered a barrier to entry?

    HARD coding is a substantial barrier to entry. EASY coding is not. Write the code for a new statistical algorithm that identifies price inefficiencies in global bond markets, enabling a Wall Street firm to make an extra billion in profits this year: HUGE barrier to entry. Write the code for a...

    Developers..hire or contract a company?!

    My advice: Prioritize what would be the very easiest feature to develop, if your app had only one feature. Then, what would be the second easiest feature, and so on. Break down the modules and functions you'll need. For each of them, is there a good enough open source library that could...

    Process to create new Tech product

    I think the business risks of your idea are even bigger than the technical challenges. If your smart watch would sell to the upper half of the market, you'll have to outperform Apple at convincing people that you have a really great, feature-packed, super cool smart watch with lots of third...

    It's okay now to be seen, oh hurt little one.

    MINDSET 
    Soundtrack for this post is the song "The Real Me" from the Who's Quadrophenia. There was a hurt little kid who tried to figure out what it would take for him to be better, so that people wouldn't have to be so mean to him any more. What he didn't realize, as he was only a naive and hurt...

    Only one of anything online violates the commandment of Control.

    MARKETING 
    Only one of anything online violates the commandment of Control. Fortunately it's possible to take back Control. Even better, it ain't easy. I have a friend who has wanted to sell exercise equipment for several years. A few years ago, she started making videos where she demonstrates the...

    Scaling Donut Business

    Hi Vincent. I hate to have to say it but... there's a hole in your donut business plan. :playful: I love it that someone who's been personally successful at door to door sales, is the sales manager for a door to door sales crew. That gives you a super realistic perspective on the personality...

    Billing my client. Recommending resource?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I recommend you search for an "employer of record service." I don't know if it will be more expensive than is justified for your work, but it might be useful. These are companies that are incorporated and serve as the official vendor that your client pays. They subtract their cut, and pay you...

    Congratulations on defining your dream so well, and finding a way to make it happen! How's it going to develop a business model for the farm? I believe that farming CAN be a Fastlane business! The nature of the work makes it unlikely to be automated to oblivion, or outsourced if you have...

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Looks like a really cool gig for a young social butterfly! My only question is, what about an "expiration date" on this line of work? Will these kind of parties be unrealistic for someone to throw once they leave their 20's? (If you say your age I missed it, this looks a lot to me like what...

    Scientist - How do I get out of the slowlane while still doing what I love?

    SIDE HUSTLE SLOWLANE 
    You have a very interesting situation and analysis! It's clear that your heart IS in your current work and you'd like a way to continue it. If you do, how much time would you have for a business of your own on the side? For example, if you become a professsor, wouldn't that give you every...

    Figuring Out Net Income for Owning A Business

    HOT! 
    I'm a bit confused by exactly what you are asking here. Do you need to better understand accounting terms, how to do the arithmetic and ratios etc.? Or do you already understand how to calculate where the money is going, the problem is that not enough is coming in, compared to what's going out?

    An example of how to safely pursue a career in music (or any boom-or-bust endeavor)

    That's my own ambition as well for my creative side. I want to get my income and wealth needs handled, and then be able to do my own art, knowing I'll enjoy it whether or not anybody else does. If other people also enjoy it enough to make it profitable to distribute it to them, I'll happily...

    Edited (2018-04-20) to remove the clutter here and delete some other posts of mine. If the purpose of this thread is to document what I successfully did to move forward, discussing in detail the times I was derailed and went in circles does not serve that purpose.
