    Finding a business with NO competition

    HOT! 
    Yup. If competition isn't there already, it will quickly materialize the moment you enjoy some success. So, there's no point in trying to avoid competition by starting a business in a brand new area; it's much better to analyze the competition and improve upon what they're doing. You won't...

    Also, even if he comes up with a great new idea that no one has thought of yet and implements it, that still won't protect him from competition. Other businesses will immediately be created that will compete with his. Someone in business shouldn't be afraid of competition; recognize it and try...

    ADHD is a hidden gift for entrepreneurs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    That happens to me all the time! Either I was daydreaming already when someone starts talking and all of a sudden I snap back and realize they were talking and say, "What did you just say?" Or, I was listening from the start but then partway through the conversation I start daydreaming due to...

    ADHD is a hidden gift for entrepreneurs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    If you ever want to take medications, you'll need to get diagnosed by a psychiatrist or a psychologist. The medications work; they really focus your attention on the task at hand. If you're an ADD or ADHD person and you take medications for the first time you'll feel like your brain has just...

    ADHD is a hidden gift for entrepreneurs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    ADD and ADHD are neurological disorders which won't go away by pretending you don't have those conditions. It would be like a person who is Autistic acting normal and somehow that will cure them; it won't as their condition is hard wired into their brain. ADD and ADHD are not as serious as...

    Finding a business with NO competition

    HOT! 
    Finding a niche in an existing market and exploiting it is actually much easier than trying to come up with a revolutionary business idea. Most companies that start a new type of business usually don't last very long anyways since competitors immediately learn from what that person did and...

    ADHD is a hidden gift for entrepreneurs

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Right off the bat, I would say that you are ADD, not ADHD. Most people don't know that ADD and ADHD are two different forms of the same disorder; they just group them into the same category and assume that all of those people have hyperactivity issues. I'm ADD, which is the primarily...

    Building Business Credit (resource I found)

    I haven't built any business credit yet but I plan to do so when I start my business. It's the smart thing to do even if you have enough money to fund your business yourself. For one thing, if you have an LLC and you take out a loan on your business what happens is that even if you can't...

    40,000. dollars to move to Chile (no lie)

    IDEA 
    This is actually very smart of them. They know that Americans are far more likely to start companies that are successful internationally than people in any other country. So, if an American starts a company in Chile and it ends up being successful, he will naturally seek to maintain at least a...

    How to handle warranty/support/returns department when starting?

    Re: How to handle warranty/support/returns department when starti The solution is simple. Always order about 10% more products than you think you'll need. That way, after you've sold out, you can rely on the 10% that's remaining to send to customers if the products you've sent them are...

    To become tax Exempt

    TAXES | REGS 
    But then how would things like roads, highways, police force, firefighters, trash pickup, military, etc. be paid for? You can argue about whether or not we need to spend as much money as we do on those things but you have to agree that all of them are necessary to a first world society and...

    6 year old girl sells lemonade to pay for chemotherapy

    And the great thing is that charity not only helps other people it also makes the person giving feel better. Studies have actually shown that the feeling that humans get from charitable giving is greater than any other type of joy that humans can feel. For instance, knowing that you helped...

    6 year old girl sells lemonade to pay for chemotherapy

    There would always be more people in need of help than money to help them, so that would be a problem with any sort of charity; shouldn't stop you from trying to help some people anyways. The way I would do it is every week I would have a different child's story on the website with accompanying...

    6 year old girl sells lemonade to pay for chemotherapy

    YouTube - 6-Year-Old Girl Sells Lemonade to Pay for Chemo Really a heartbreaking story. A 6 year old shouldn't have to worry about paying her hospital bills; she should be out playing. This kind of reminds me of that thread we had going about a week or so ago about billionaires who have...

    Billionaire donars courtesy of Buffett and Gates

    Good points. Although I agree with his idea about spending the money in America rather than foreign countries.
