    CNBC To Investigate Snuggie, ShamWow Next

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I just saw a show on the Discovery Channel called Pitchmen. I only caught the last part of it, but it shows Billy Mays shooting a commercial. You get to see their thought process as they market new inventions. On this episode, he was selling an energy absorbing foam pad of some sort. His...

    Hey guys, I have only read bits and pieces of this. I am not an expert by any means, so I will throw this out there and let more qualified people address these thoughts. It seems that Kol is an expert in his field. Maybe he isn't finding a market for his product; however, could he not...

    IDEA 
    I wonder if you could post outlines of each one's philosophy. Don't go in detail, but just hit the talking points they advertise so people could do a side by side comparison of the programs. Then you could call these "success" stories they show on the infomercials and try to verify them...

    The Law of Detachment

    MINDSET 
    You bring up some interesting concepts. I agree that too often we allow emotions to cloud our judgment which in turn can lead to bad decisions. I know about this, I've lived it. To be completely "detached" may protect us emotionally, but is it fair to the other people? I think, at least...

    Hello from Cali!

    Yeah, but then the tennis shoe industry would go out of business because no one would throw shoes over the power lines anymore. Can't have that. On a positive note, UPS and Fed Ex stocks would go up. Pizza delivery would be at an all time HIGH (no pun intended). I could open a fast food...

    Some good insight from Mike Rowe (dirty jobs)

    Re: Some good advice from Mike Rowe (dirty jobs) Great Post. I was impressed with his public speaking ability. I was even more impressed with his willingness to speak out against the established thinking in today's work force. We are too quick to judge people with "less" skilled jobs as...

    How many here are Navy Seals?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've had limited contact with S.E.A.L.S. over the years. Everything mentioned so far in this thread is accurate. I had a friend of mine who wasn't quite a SEAL, but went through most of BUDS school and other training. An injury took him out of action. Even so, he epitomized SEAL values...

    I don't have direct experience with it, but I have a friend who has been the General Manager (or some comparable title) of at least 2 nursing homes. I'll send her an email if you want and see if she has some advice. I believe you have to have a Doctor, P.A., or at least a Nurse Practitioner...

    OFF-TOPIC CHAT 
    Don't you mean, Remember when kids played video games? It seems like Arcades are ghost towns largely because kids carry video systems with them now. I think Pin ball machines will only be in museums in a few years. BTW... I take my son to the Arcade. I mean, why would an adult play Mrs...

    Requested Screen Shot

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is probably obvious to everyone else, but when I first joined the forum, all the recent posts and most read ones were listed at the top, where it says Millionaire Entrepreneur Forum in blue. About a week or two ago, I clicked on something and it disappeared. A message read, "In order to...
