    I need a lunch box that keeps food hot for hours! Suggestions?

    My son hates the school cafeteria food and as a result brings a bag lunch daily. He often takes a thermos container with warm food. It keeps things hot until lunchtime (3-4hrs). I jam all kinds of stuff in there. Soups, pasta, pot stickers (dumplings), pot roast w/ egg needles, mac & cheese...

    Walter, Thank you for your AMA. I have learned a lot from it. I had a question about shipping on samples. The item I am looking into is about the size and weight of an empty soda can. What shipping method is most cost effective for me? Based on previous experience, I expect the cheapest to be...

    Contacting Manufacturers - How to keep track?

    Thanks. I already started doing exactly that. My concern was that once I move beyond a handful of items, I will have an huge list. I thought if there was an address book/CRM that was easy to setup it would be helpful in future product searches within the same niche. That only slowed me down...

    Contacting Manufacturers - How to keep track?

    I started putting stuff in Excel. I decided I need to do something to get organized right now, even if it isn't the best. I will eventual be looking at multiple products in this niche and was afraid of duplicating my research on each item.

    Over the last week, I have been contacting manufacturers and received multiple replies. I am starting to get a little overwhelmed with all the different contacts. There are some I don't need to talk to anymore and some I need to continue conversing with. I was going to start keeping track of...

    MARKETING 
    As an online parts buyer, I'd say emphasize the free shipping for orders over $100 and if possible, lower it to $50. Do you have packages setup? Tune up package? Brake change package? Highlight them! Where are the E36 M3 parts? I checked for brakes and found nothing. No pads, no rotors. What...

    Jon's Big Idea

    IDEA 
    At first I thought charity as JudoTom said. After further thought, I don't think that is a good idea. It wouldn't be a good "test" of the idea as charities are much different than up-and-coming fastlaners.

    IDEA 
    Jon - I think you have a good idea. Like JudoTom said, why not pick a charity case and use that as a test. I would love be part of this.

    The OP asked for help and you say you don't believe him? Nice. OP - Here are some tips. Use a list, break each task into 30 minute pieces. Use a timer to "block" your time. Find an app like JudoTom said. I know I have heard of them. You activate the app and you are only allowed to visit certain...
