    The 5'oclock Shitshow. Or 11'oclock if you prefer

    HOT! 
    My wife and I call the news, FearTV, and we refuse to watch it. Although we barely watch tv as it is. The only news I stay on top of is in the financial world, and even then it's a potpourri of "Company X's product, will it fail?" and "Another recession to hit soon?".....

    The Process of Creating A Real Product

    HOT! 
    @pickeringmt Awesome thread. But I think it's important to add some background to your case. Health and Personal care has very strict guidelines for packing/labeling AND Advertising. The claims you make about your product can result in a beatdown from the FDA. In other industries, you can write...

    A job isn't something you "get"...

    GOLD! 
    Last week I did an internal interview with someone that wanted to enter my department. All he talked about was himself. "I'm a PHD and I want to do this...and that.... and that too. I want to be a manager in 5 years..." All I could think about what JFK's famous saying. "Ask not what your...

    Big Shift

    EXECUTION 
    Every successful person I know in real estate is liquidating while every slowlaner I know is buying.... Wise move on your end. I grew up renting/maintaining my parents apartment buildings. What a pain in the a$$, even upscale units have bad apples once in a while. I plan on investing in...

    My Own Automotive YouTube Channel!

    EXECUTION 
    I love Chris Harris' videos but he's way too dry for me. Almost like watching an episode of Car&Driver. Car enthusiasts want fun, which is why Top Gear is such a runaway success. Looking forward to seeing more from you!

    Advice on SINGLE product eCommerce success.

    I've said it before. Almost all paid shopping carts do not let you touch the checkout API. Most of them have shitty multi-paged checkouts or crammed single page checkouts. Magento lets you customize EVERYTHING allowing you to even optimize the checkout API.

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    I definitely agree with this. Until you have validated your product and are selling a few units a day, keep it in house. But consider possibly eating some of the shipping cost and reducing the shipping price. On another note, most luxury brands DO NOT offer free shipping unless a certain value...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    Americans are not accustomed to getting pooched by shipping prices like us Canadians. I strongly suggest you use a US based fulfillment house to deliver your product in the US. It will save you money, which you can pass on to the customer with a lower shipping cost. Seeing cheaper shipping to...

    Jason's How to Build Wealth & Golden Nuggets

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Most paid carts do not allow you to modify the checkout API and scripts at all. I learned this the hard way. With Magento, everything is fair game and you can customize just about anything. There are already upsells extensions for Magento when a user checks out. I believe a developer can modify...

    Legalized Scamming (Rental Property Stories from HELL)

    HOT! 
    My parents own apartment buildings. They just evicted a dickhead that stopped paying rent at the beginning of winter. In Ontario you can't evict someone during the winter. So he essentially lived rent free for 5 months and then bailed out. Pretty infuriating.

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    Unfortunately, the cost of shipping inside Canada and to the US from Canada is pretty damn expensive. Shipping prices in the US are peanuts compared to what we pay. I've crunched the numbers several times and really the only feasible method is using a fulfilment house based in the US. Even with...

    How do you meditate?

    I've been doing mindful meditation for over 3 years now. Everyone here is correct with their tips and tricks. However, the key to meditation is what MJ alluded to in his "7 Steps for Radical Change." Meditating is just one step. Repetition of that step forms a habit. Persistence of the habit...

    Great analogies, as an avid mountain biker I completely understand where you're coming from. Especially when it comes to mosquitoes! Was this a Butte trail? Looks amazing.

    EXECUTION 
    One, because Craigslist has been around forever and from a usability standpoint you should never change what people are used to. Two, its free!! I'll eat a lame walmart burger with no toppings and on a paper plate if it's free. But if I'm paying a single cent for that burger then it sure as hell...
