    Branding Vs. Selling

    MARKETING 
    Selling is not an optional "strategy".... The whole point of a business is to sell things. Everything you do in business should bring you closer to a sale. Branding is a strategy (I'd also consider this necessary) and simply helps to distinguish you amongst the competition. We're you...

    Iphone 6 vs Samsung S5 for promotion giveaway

    EXECUTION 
    Do you live under a rock or are you just incapable of doing a bit of research? I wish people on this forum wouldn't ask such idiotic questions. You could be giving away a cooler and people would try to win it.... qualified leads though? Not a shot.

    Are you yourself a successful entrepreneur? If so, then push your kid to do well in school while you also introduce him to the idea of being an entrepreneur in a few years. He may not be interested in being an entrepreneur (most people aren't) and then it will be a great thing that he...

    Joshy's first venture into business

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm a bit confused... You're "creating" yet another social media platform? This idea has been beaten to death and I think you are wasting your time. Go ahead and try it though. Why do you need to have a Skype call with your father? lol

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    You have a very thin skin.... what's going to happen when one of your clients isn't pleased with your work and gets nasty with you? Are you going to sit in a corner and cry about it and then shut down the business? Your Dad chooses to smoke whether you like it or not (so do millions of other...

    Need Some "How To" E-Book Ideas In Hungry Markets

    IDEA 
    What you've accomplished in the past is impressive, but honestly I think you should look into other opportunities. It seems like everyone nowadays is trying to make their fortunes by writing and selling the next great ebook, white labeling a supplement, or importing from alibaba and selling on...

    Two Choices, Any Advice?

    MINDSET 
    Your question is way too broad. Create a website... What kind? Selling what? Revenue model? etc Write a book... are you writing children's short stories, how-to guides, etc? Without more detail I don't know how anyone could possibly guide you in the right direction.

    Should you ever pursue more than one idea?

    IDEA 
    Welcome to the forum! The short answer to your question is no, do not divide your focus among multiple ideas. Expanding a business into new areas/products/etc is fine, but owning both a hunting gear ecommerce site and a maid service simultaneously is big no no (just an example). There are...

    18 y/o starting a local cleaning company.

    EXECUTION 
    Here's my take on things... Cleaning business has no barrier to entry and is a flooded market. You can make money in it for sure, but there are better residual income businesses. Way too many illegal laborers. Mobile detailing is just not very scalable because the prices you need to charge...

    MARKETING 
    By not having a phone number directly on the door hangers you're significantly lessening your chances of making a sale. Here's why: Most people are in a hurry and don't want to take the time to first visit your website before being able to request service. Unless they are in dire need of your...

    The Baby Sitter

    EXECUTION 
    If I read that correctly you were offered 50k for ABOUT 1.5% equity (because he then wanted a little more) which values your company at over 3 mil and you have no sales to date.... If I'm correct then I'd suggest taking the investments. To an investor this is a complete gamble (no sales... no...

    Being in relationship with someone who has mental illness

    PEOPLE 
    Stop right there... even if you thought she was the most amazing girl chances are you won't be together in the near future. You guys are so young that you haven't even matured enough to know what you really want in a partner. As you get older you'll want different things, be interested in...

    Excuses

    HOT! 
    this thread makes no sense... You've identified the excuses you make for yourself but have absolutely no idea what you could possibly do to work past them. I'd bet money that you will never make it as a (successful) entrepreneur. You lack drive, creative thinking, confidence, etc. You are in...
