    Im either blind or opportunity avoids me

    False dichotomy. I am not saying that the one and only way to be successful is to have a big idea, which can lead to marketing to the millions, or to investment of many millions. I am also not saying that the one and only way to be successful is to have a good enough little idea and hustle...

    HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    Another useful distinction is the difference between an original article, such as the one quoted in the above post that was written by Jason Summerfield of Human Services Solutions and posted on their web site at Mobile Website vs. Mobile App (Application) – Which is Best for Your Organization...

    So regular phone calls or VOIP are best, then Telegram? I wonder if it would help to get an external USB audio interface, such as a very basic model along these lines. usb audio interface - Newegg.com I don't have a hearing loss issue, but I've found that sound quality is better and headphone...

    Anyone else think basic coding is one of the most important skills new entrepreneurs could have?

    It's only what MJ learned and got good at, to go from being alone in his apartment to having something to sell for over a million dollars. Who'd ever want to waste their time with something like that??

    Did you enjoy the 3D drafting? If so, learning Autocad's AutoLISP macros would be the perfect place for you to start.

    EXECUTION 
    It's not that he's randomly thrashing from one potential idea to another. I think that once he sees something that might realistically have a chance to work, he'll hit it hard and keep going. It seems to me the problem is coming up with a workable idea at all, for some kind of freelance work...

    Roli beat me to it with exactly what I was about to say! That's a valid way to work. Most Hollywood productions are done with virtual teams who form a company to make one show, then they all go on to their own next projects. I want to learn more about this. I have extensive enough ideas...

    Hello, I don't want to be a millionaire

    INTRO 
    They definitely didn't make profits without marketing, without some system to let people meet them, know what they offer, and feel comfortable enough to send them money. Usually this includes that people want to know where the other people are located, that they're sending money. The marketing...

    That's popular on this forum, but it's not all there is to the total world of business. Intel Corporation was founded by a $2.5 million investment in 1968 ($18 million equivalent in today's money). The money did NOT come from the pockets of the founding engineers. There is absolutely no way...

    This may take you a while. I hope you continue to share your discoveries, ideas, journey with the forum. Even if all you have is "I'm still trying to figure it out!" It would be great to see you land an ideal day job and also have some business venture that totally inspires you, that makes...

    Looks like "networking deal-maker of big ticket sales" might be a good way for you to go. Check out Fox's discussion of selling a lead generation web site in the oil & gas industry for a lot of money. The web site wasn't fancy, but it was worth a lot of money because he knew how to present a...

    Supreme Court: Online shoppers can be forced to pay sales tax

    TAXES | REGS FEATURED! 
    I know of two ways. The Supreme Court can take another course that deals with the same issue. If the justices of the original court have since died, they'll probably say that the previous decision was wrong and here's the right way to handle it. If the justices of the earlier decision are...

    I understand that you can get into conversations. I understand that these conversations don't result in closed deals. What I don't understand from your post is what your goals, talents, interests, experiences are. What do you add to the conversations? What do you hope to do in business...

    Oh, I see. Yes I've seen that approach to selling big ticket products. Can it be used to sell custom services for a few thousand dollars? I don't know. Maybe someone on the forum has tested that?

    Factfulness

    I think the real lesson is that if you can sustain premium prices and profit margins, you can survive a lot of problems. Suppose that the company said, "We offer the world's least expensive ice cream," with a profit margin of a half percent. If tariffs go up a percent or two, the company's...

    My favorite management consultant says, "I'll take an assignment to lay people off. I'll take an assignment to increase employee morale. But the one assignment I won't take is to increase morale while conducting layoffs. If a client wants that, they're insane."
