Small business owners won't drop a few thousand just to have a pretty website. What has your new design got to offer that...

    Best secondary domain marketplace for buying/selling??

    INVESTING 
    I buy domains either through Sedo or I check the whois records and email the administrative contact directly. Flippa is great for buying websites (with established traffic/revenue) as it gives you the fundamental due diligence info you need. Domains with a value up to 4-figures can be sold on...

Use the processes and thought patterns that you've already put into place into a new venture and I'm sure you'll do fine. Depending on what route...

    Why do SO MANY startups fail?

    HOT! 
    This is nothing personal, but I've seen this a lot on the forum and would like to propose a change of perspective. These people were brave enough to setup their own business, and have showed that they can fill a need (i.e. by finding customers). I'd suggest that if you have yet to make this step...

    Not entirely true. I use Uber whenever I need a cab. Doesn't mean they're on my "seven sites" list. Same goes for spotify, netflix and any other SaaS I use. When I have the need, I use it. Doesn't necessarily mean that I use them frequently. Like @AllenCrawley, @MJ DeMarco, @Vigilante and other...

    I have seen this many times on the forum the past few months. The trend seems to be that everyone wants to "learn programming" because it seems useful. Every entrepreneur will have a certain skill that they're really good at e.g. sales / design / development. One of the main drivers of their...
