    @sparechange Some Hard Advice coming. First this quote: This is one important point and not to mention that you can't scale that at all. Now buy that jacket from the original manufacturer in China (assuming) for $1.50 and sell it $3 then you got a scalable business as long as that jacket is...

    Twitch is where most people livestream game playing. Patreon is a nice service where you opt to support someone monthly for a set amount. A lot of artists, musicians, makers, etc use it. "I like your art, so I will opt to send you 5$ per month directly." for example. In return you often get...

    OK, I am a Developer and Software Entrepreneur and I love a good software business progress thread. So while excited for you I come across this: Oh man. This is scary. AdamMaxum is on point here. I know you are a 3rd year comp sci student, but that does not mean you are knowledgeable. I have...

    @Andy Black Just gonna say it. You live what you say. Simple. Effective. Helpful. Keep it up. You are providing a role model a curmudgeon like me can learn from.

    I'm gonna be honest here. Watching videos from Gurus on YouTube (Alex Becker, nice guy, but guru) isn't going to teach you FB Ads nearly as much as you think. 1 hour of doing something is worth far more than 1 month of watching videos about it. Not knocking that you need to learn about...

    @sparechange I see. I didn't understand. So it seems you still haven't gotten a single sale in. I am sorry to hear it. I do hope you find something that works for you. It can be so frustrating. I don't know if this helps at all, but see if you can optimize for getting that single sale rather...

    This is it! That is the decision. That attitude alone will be all it takes to put the effort into getting where ever it is you are trying to go!

    Make $1k for 50k views? Or spend $1k to get 50k views? If it is make, then I need to get into videos.

    I actually like this statistic (besides the general nerd like of the number 42) as I bank on numbers like these. If success were common then we would all be average and therefore a new bar of success would be created. We cannot all be a success. However 42%? I like those odds. I better visit...

    Personally I find food businesses to be in the Passion category. I know I couldn't do it easily if at all. I admire anyone that can build and then scale a food business. I admire your courage in attempting it. If you make it though, that is some serious Fastlane there!

    Mobile Connectivity for Laptop - Any Suggestions?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I travel a lot. I am often surprised by how good my phone as a hotspot actually works. If you got 4g/LTE connection then you are golden. If you travel abroad then check your phones capabilities to operate in the country you are visiting. You might need to call your provider for a global plan to...

    This. This is so true. My friend with his perfectly Fastlane lifestyle business does nothing but this kind of work remotely. More people are needed for these kind of opportunities. I believe I stated in another thread, that if I had nothing left in this life and started over, this is what I...

    Need Guidance: negotiating partnership with owner of company that I cofounded, but couldn't co-fund

    First things first, I would have gotten as much of this decided up front and written in contractual form before doing or changing anything. However seeing that it didn't happen likely, and many times it doesn't the next best thing is to realize that if you didn't actually put any financial...

    OK, ok.. I actually watched the whole thing. I was waiting for the punchline or something. It couldn't really be that bad right? This was not value for the time I will never get back, but I decided to learn something from this. Cut your losses early Mic makes a huge difference in quality...

    I spent a lot of time in Japan and have a very strong love for the culture, the people, the county. Please do not make a mini sushi-sashimi combo restaurant without actually hiring a real Japanese Sushi Chef. My only ask.

    Love the idea of internet businesses, but I worry that without scale and infinite iteration a mini food business is just creating another job.

    Well of all the places I have lived outside of Florida, I loved Overland Park, KS (suburb of Kansas City) the best. It isn't bad here in Pismo Beach, CA. San Diego is one of my favorite cities though. Cali prices for property and shitty state politics around a lot of things makes it pricier for...

    I have spoken publicly many times and don't mind doing it again. I can likely make those dates no problem, although I have an India trip sometime early in the new year. I can probably rearrange it though. My biggest thing is I am not sure I have anything of value to add to this wonderful forum...

    San Diego is a beautiful city @GuitarManDan ! Congrats on taking the bold leap and good luck! I am a few hours north of you having transplanted, sort of, from the East Coast myself. Can't say I like California all that much yet, but I definitely enjoy SD. Good choice.
