    If there are a substantial percentage of human beings who could succeed at creating a sustained profitable business, which by definition means helping other people in ways they appreciate... but these people don't do so, for the one and only reason that they feel their gender disqualifies them...

    As a man who's recovered from cancer, doesn't see a need to recover from seeing validity with much of feminism, and is not a radical, I respectfully disagree. I think the aggressive attack on feminism totally derailed the original value of this thread. The original question was about how to...

    Also, MJ wrote the book he wished he would have had when he was younger... when he was a younger man, trying to figure out what kind of man he would be and how he would navigate society and money-making. It's clear that all ages and genders are welcome to learn from him and participate in the...

    I just discovered this thread, so I'm starting at the first post. You are right that relationship building, whether in family, friendship, love, community, or business, involves skills that we can learn. Many of us did not get any kind of education on these skills. I graduated from college...

    Stuck on box and instructions design

    Do you know what a pro designer would actually charge, or are you taking a guess?

    What has been your family's reaction to your entrepreneurial activities?

    [ edited to delete personal info that I realized I only want to share once I've paid for the Insider subscription, but not for the general public ]

    Is a software based solution possible to help people find a career they love?

    You'd be trying to automate the process in books like What Color Is Your Parachute. (There are other great career books. I'm using this one as an example.) The biggest challenge is that if there's something you don't know, or that is a matter of how you feel, then it's really hard to quantify...

    PERSPECTIVE

    Close enough for inspirational purposes... What almost any of us would think is fabulous wealth beyond our greatest dreams, is a drop in the bucket compared to what already exists and what already is changing hands daily. That's the #1 reason for getting hit by a car...

    If you've never before in your life tried to really think about how life and jobs are scripted by a few, to the disadvantage of the many, his books give you an opportunity to think about these things in the context of some entertaining and well-told stories. The stories lead on to principles...

    A single-person business? But what's that going to do to the Rich Dad MLM recruitment cycle at McDonald's? Surely Robert must be confused about what Rich Dad would have really wanted from us. If you don't have a five level deep downline, how can one person ever hope to make enough money to...

    Factfulness

    I think Rolls-Royce is a great example of this. If they were to say, "The cars used to be hand-made in Britain, but now there's a factory down the street from you, wherever you are in the world"... that would take away a lot of the mystique, wouldn't it?

    How should I do the design process?

    No, the expert should be able to guide you through their process and to let you know if something else is needed from you.

    Finding Needs/Wants

    That's taking pictures of bugs, right? The equipment should be small enough to fit into the Lambo's trunk. I'm pretty sure the market of custom entomological photography cases for Lambo owners is wide open for you :smile2: There are people doing this. I found some of their You Tube channels...

    Myself, Nor the Forum Is Responsible... (Required Reading)

    IMPORTANT! 
    Do we have a discussion thread on here about astute partnership and contracting agreements? In my current subcontracting work, the general contractor used to work as an attorney. We've got the most detailed written agreements I've ever had, and I'm so glad that we do. Everything is exactly...

    How do you compete with other 45,567 businesses?

    MARKETING 
    It doesn't have to be winner take all, and it doesn't have to be a dualistic battle at the top. The important thing about your business is that makes enough money for you, serving people you are able to serve well. There are still Mom and Pop restaurants in a world of KFC and McDonald's. And...

    EXECUTION 
    Coming here to catch up on your story, as you suggested I do. You joined the forum at a dark time in your life. I'm sorry to learn of the loss of your aunt, the near loss of another friend, the loss of your relationship, the feelings of being alienated from the in crowd with weekend money from...

    Would a Laptop be a Way to Express your Identity?

    Apple and Microsoft sell laptops/tablets in multiple colors as a fashion statement. So you are right that fashionable colors are cool! With a new machine from $400, there's not much room at the bottom of the market to scrape together something for people with no money. And as others pointed...
