    How much does the average American make? Not much...

    Yep, and in my area, while there are successful lawyers, most make significantly less than professionals who have no degree... insurance agents, mortgage brokers, claims adjusters, etc. Some others make a lot on paper, but after you deduct student loans, they're no better off than any other...

    For anyone who is an insider, my thread there talks about a contract Company #2 picked up recently. It's a very good arrangement for all parties. For numerous reasons, it would not exist without my dedication to (obsession with?) controls, and the fact that I talk about them a lot. First, I...

    I guess people's sense of smell eventually comes back after the rona. Here we see businesses ready to capitalize on that fact.

    Keep the competitors honest... make them improve the product and offer better services. Maybe if they improve enough, you're willing to buy their company.

    Haha... I love that last paragraph. :rofl: You reminded me, when I was in highschool, they told my whole year that there was a national shortage of biologists. Everyone should be a biology major! These will be the highest paying jobs! Pretty sure most of the students majored in biology after...

    In a restrictive contract. Should I leave or stay?

    QUESTION 
    Even a "right of refusal" isn't needed because who are they going to come to for investment? Some guys in fancy suits? Or someone they already know and trust, and who they've worked with? The fancy suit guys would not be my first choice, although I acknowledge a good suit is high art. Just...

    How much does the average American make? Not much...

    That's a good point... I wonder to what extent these kinds of statistics are really designed to reinforce some demoralizing or riot inciting idea. I do know that we have statistical cycles that get glossed over because they are inconvenient to the narrative. For example, older people make more...

    Anyone have experience starting before 18?

    QUESTION 
    If you get enough people to use this service, and make them very happy with the quality and responsiveness, there's a very good chance they will start referring new business to you. Applies to most any service.

    In a restrictive contract. Should I leave or stay?

    QUESTION 
    Heh. Well that's cynical. I'm an employer in the US, and if my employee starts a business, I would like the first opportunity to invest, not to steal their property. And yes, I would be glad they created an opportunity that makes them richer (I know this from experience), because that's how the...

    In a restrictive contract. Should I leave or stay?

    QUESTION 
    Just adding to some of the other answers. Personally, I hate these clauses. I've written into my articles of incorporation that the company will never require ownership of employee's personally developed IP, and will not interfere with people finding employment elsewhere (broad non-competes...

    One can hope. Maybe they don't track profitable exit events either, since those are not "income per year." A billionaire might be in their sample and show up as living below poverty, because everything is owned by trusts, family offices, etc.

    How much does the average American make? Not much...

    The travesty is that a majority could double their economic power, at least (the equivalent of 80k median... though currency would probably adjust given a shift like that). I talk to a lot of people, and the most mystifying thing to most is that they're allowed to try out an idea, allowed to...

    Anyone have experience starting before 18?

    QUESTION 
    I made websites for money when I was around 13. Didn't make much, but it was experience. I ended up writing web copy and ads at that time too, for local small businesses (mostly family of friends from school, neighbors, or people introduced by the aforementioned). When I was 17 I built a forge...

    Limitless Trustpilot reviews posting - How to

    I only have 97 Venizuelan Bolivar right now. Could I pay you that much, and then the additional 3 after a month? Fake trustpilot reviews and libeling and defaming my competitors would be a game changer for my totally legit business... how do I sign up?!?!?!

    The routines you consistently implement will carry you through to the goal. Or at least, you'll have something you can evaluate and figure out how to change so that the next iteration carries you to the goal. You're ahead of where I was at your age in executive thinking... I would bet you're on...

    The limit is 4 buttons, clearly labeled and color coded. "Source" doesn't count... it has to say "change which thing the TV shows you" or something. Do that, and 80% of the population will be able to turn it on and off. They still won't be able to change the channels, but they won't get so...

    Probably a number of genetic things we don't even know about. I think timing and circumstance is also hugely underrated. Things like, you're more stressed right now and haven't slept well. That doesn't even register as a health problem, or "comorbidity," but statistically it makes you more...

    Has anyone bought / made a building from natural granite, limestone, or other stone, as opposed to concrete or brick? Structural parts, not facades or pavers or countertops or whatnot. The Internet hates for me to search for "not what everyone is doing with their catalog 3/2 saltbox home." I...
