    A social network of personal shopper

    I assume you know about poshmark? Although I believe they only operate within the U.S. They have something along the lines of what you're talking about, except they only really focus on selling used clothing. But there is an emphasis on communication between sellers and interested parties. In...

    Will employees still be useful in the future?

    MINDSET 
    I'm still getting my operations up off the ground, but I'd say yes. There are more than a few things I would gladly hire for if I had the capital for. Sure, some of those positions could be delegated to software or apps, but I'd rather communicate about it with a human being.

    I said: "The website is $3000". They said: "Too expensive! I was thinking $500!"

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I would probably move on. You can try and follow up with them if they never get back to you. However the fact they were a referral ontop of the effectiveness in which you demonstrated your value should suffice.

    I'm full of shit

    HOT! MINDSET RANT 
    It may seem that way now, but I can assure you that's not true. It may take a few years, but things you've pursued and learned in that timespan will remain in your brain. One day in the future an opportunity will present itself, and you'll be able to look back and draw from those years and...

    How to find other Entreupreneurs if no one you know is interested ?

    Usually once you take action, within your niche, you'll undoubtedly make contacts. This is assuming you are persistent and at least offering some semblance of value to being with. It's pretty much a given at that point that some of those contacts are entrepreneurs themselves, just at various...

    Everyone's doing web design

    RANT 
    Read somewhere the other day "saturation proves that it works" sometimes its just how you choose to view things. Although I do agree web design is one of the most popular business models right now.

    Cold emaling(ish) for a combined business venture

    EXECUTION 
    My main suggestion would have been to trim it down a bit. I'm aware some lengthy cold emails can work, but making it too wordy is risky. Also,try and reconstruct some of the "I" and "my" sentences with "you" or "your". People tend to respond better if they feel the email is all about them...

    I just don't know what to do

    RANT 
    You started an agency and managed to make some cash not terribly long ago? I've yet to make a dollar on my own and have failed just as bad as you have described, and I can't stop showing up every day. IDK about you, but in your position I'd be able to use that taste of success as precious fuel...

    Cold emaling(ish) for a combined business venture

    EXECUTION 
    I'm better at calls than email. But one sales guys on youtube who is very good at cold email is Alex Berman. Maybe check his stutf. Having a captivating but general subject line is half the battle. First line is usually a compliment or has to do with them/their company. Case study in the...

    What do you think of dreams/dreaming?

    HEALTH 
    I think they are mostly a result of what we spend a lot of time thinking about, either conciously or subconciously. I'm an infrequent dreamer. Had one last night for the first time in quite a long time. But it was centered around a person that I was thinking a lot about, particuarly that day.

    Selling businesses

    Not sure if anyone has made a thread about this but. I've come across a few business owners who have mentioned looking to sell (or retire), which isn't really my service, but as always got to keep my eyes and ears peeled. Any basics to take into consideration? How to determine whether its a...

    Temp job that can pay decently?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    The more remote the job the higher demand and pay you can expect. Think working on a ship in the alaskan waters or somewhere in the middle of the north dakota oil fields. Granted some of those jobs require certifications, and some might be affected by modern day economic standings.

    Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)

    GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHAT 
    From high school into adulthood, anytime I had to convince someone of my aptitude for a minimal reward, (i.e. getting a good grade or advancing to the next step of the interview process) a piece of me inside felt disgusted. I knew the end game of that interaction wasn't worth what I found to be...

    Selling a specialty truck

    EXECUTION 
    2 people in Canada looking to sell have been added to my list. 1 owner in Kansas said he has moderate levels of interest and will get back to me in a week. 1 CEO from a company I reached out to last week scheduled a talk for Monday to see what type of equipment he would consider selling...
