    Good for you to figure out that an opportunity doesn't fit your criteria, before you put a lot of time and money into it. If you make a thread about your next venture, please let me know.

    If you can figure that out, you'll definitely a billionaire, because multiple billion dollar companies have tried and failed. Nobody has been able to come up with a better way to sell top-priced phones and apps to loyal, enthusiastic buyers than Apple, and nobody has been able to figure how to...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    Don't worry for now about a Fastlane-compatible disruptive breakthrough. I totally agree with sparechange, that what would you help you most is some kind of side hustle you can start immediately. It's okay if it's a totally routine type of business. First get some basic cash flow going in a...

    My failed poor executions

    EXECUTION 
    Wolfie mentioned that he's in a tiny village, with a very low and widely scattered population, very inadequate public transit, and he doesn't drive. That's a lot different from Vancouver. Lawn mowing depends on enough lawns within reach, and a way to get the mower there. Would the village...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Ask someone who you think always looks stylish, and other people also comment that the person has good taste. Or, get a color calibrated monitor, camera setup gray card, and use Photoshop's eyedropper tool to discover the colorimetry of each item of clothing. Put it in a database and write an...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I heard exactly this in a conversation the other day with the person I want to have on my team for web sales. In a high-end retail environment, all the other sales reps immediately went to the people who "dressed rich" and ignored the others. She immediately went to help the customers who were...

    Dressing For Success... Stop looking like a fool.

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    It's ironic that this is currently the very top hottest discussion topic... on a forum that has enough guys with shirtless profile pics, for a complete water polo team. Edited to add: #2 or #3 spot for the past few days has been a discussion of lawn service business, started by a guy with no...

    How does open source make money? (if it does)

    It's not always about making money. Sometimes it's about saving costs. Let me give a hypothetical example. Suppose you and I both run businesses that make deliveries. I have a chain of pizzerias. I deliver pizzas to customers as fast as I can once they phone in their order. You have a...

    Need Advice on a Wearable Body camera

    I don't have an opinion about the desirability of your idea. But I do have an idea about finding the equipment: get a copy of someone else's thorough comparison. As you know, more locations are now requiring police to have body cameras. There was probably some kind of technical evaluation...

    This sounds like much deeper issues than how to go about job hunting. I don't know how to help you. A map of baby steps is available to you from books. More maps of baby steps are available to you from other forum members. Additional maps of baby steps are available to you from job hunter...

    HOT! SAAS / APPS 
    The app store companies own the toll bridge between you and the users. For iOS, a lot of users who spend a lot of money on their mobile experience. For Android, a whole lot more users who spend at least some money on their mobile experience. If you want to cross the bridge to sell to their...

    Thank you so much for sharing your perspective from lots of experience in app dev, Denis. Do you have a more detailed thread of your own on the business of apps? I agree about premature optimization. We don't even know for sure whether the image processing on a modern phone would take...

    Whatever else you do, I suggest you also make a blog where you gather articles and case studies that you find interesting on these topics. Don't present yourself as anything other than a person who finds this technology niche fascinating. Some of the kind of things you could put up: News...

    Congratulations on your steps forward, Thomas! Your clarity, motivation, resourcefulness, and persistence are so amazing. You keep on going, in a situation that could make many people say, "It's hopeless, I'm stuck on an island that got wiped out by the disaster." I have no doubt that you...

    Got $10K? Amazon Wants YOU to Deliver Packages

    It never occurred to me that Fedex routes are a business that can be bought and sold like any other! That's interesting. It looks like a higher-risk, higher-potential franchise option. If you buy a fast food sandwich shop, your work experience and profits are very predictable. This new...

    For both of them, their first coding product was not what made them famous. Zuck's first site was a HotOrNot clone. Gates and Allen's first business was Traf-O-Data, which also had a hardware engineer on board. They wrote a reader/counter for traffic count data stored on punched paper tape...
