    Alec Baldwin's speech from Glengarry Glen Ross. He was nominated for an academy award for this speech, his only 7 minutes in the movie. A must see. Edit: Mine changed to a French Bulldog with a top hat and a pipe.

    Finish My Book and Publish

    PUBLISHING 
    About 3/4 done with editing. Once done, I will do a read through to make sure I didn't miss anything, or nothing weird pops out, then we'll be good. I still need to figure out the cover though. Getting closer though, which is good.

    I Have Decided That I'm Moving...

    I have considered Austin or Dallas, but in some ways it's too similar to Tennessee, where I am now. If I decide against California, I'll probably wind up in either Arizona or Nevada because those are low tax states and neighbor California. Florida isn't a bad option, but I've already lived there...

    Attached is a PDF I found that ranks all the states based on their tax rates: sales tax, gas tax, capital gains, corporate taxes- it's all there. Based on this, the best three states for small business are Nevada, South Dakota (no wonder they are booming), and Texas. The worst state? Take a...

    I think what everyone is talking about are the insane taxes and regulations. I'm a libertarian, so naturally I think the government out there is nuts, but I think most governments are nuts. I do hate taxes, so it's something I have thought about, but sometimes it's worth paying more in order to...

    Psychological Pricing

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    There is data that suggests that services and products (think sales funnel) sell better when they end with a 7. $47, $67, etc.

    Yes, but I wouldn't move there strictly for business. I have a myriad of reasons for wanting to move there. I'm looking at it from about 10 different angles. In truth, I would rather just move to a different country altogether. The US is a sinking ship.

    I've made my mind up to move, but I'm not 100% on any place yet. L.A. is currently the front runner by a lot. If someone can name a better place and then logically and specifically explain why I should move there over L.A., then I might unmake my mind.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I want to live in a large city that is diverse, doesn't have tons of rain and risks of tornadoes, lots of business opportunities, lots of sunshine, and of course, bikinis are a plus. The other factor is I know a few people that live there, one in Long Beach and another in Costa Mesa. It is...

    Tennessee is where I'm leaving. You'll get warmer weather here, but you'll also get tornadoes and hail and lots of rain all year long. Plus there was that flood 4 years ago. It's a good state, but I'm beyond sick of the South. I want a completely different culture.

    No, trust me, I've thought this through from so many angles. Waiting until after Nov 5 saves me 5K-10K in taxes plus I'll have time to do some repairs/renovations. We're talking about an extra 20K total in my pocket just for waiting. Given how low my expenses are right now and that I'm right in...

    I Have Decided That I'm Moving...

    HOT! MINDSET 
    UPDATE: I will be selling my house before I move. If I sell after November 5, I avoid capital gains (the 2 year mark), so the move won't happen until the end of the year or beginning of next year. My neighborhood is blowing up, so I should make a good chunk of money off the sale. I'm still set...

    Yes, I'm well aware of what the taxes are. There are MANY other benefits that make up for it, and MANY ways to minimize this though. The greater the reward, the higher the price you'll have to pay. That can be said about almost everything.

    Excited for this forum. Noobie question.

    INTRO 
    Too many people concern themselves with HOW, when they should really be focusing on WHY. WHY you should be doing something comes first, HOW comes after. If you start with HOW, you'll never make it. If you constantly ask WHY and then take action, the HOW part will present itself.

    Understanding Personality Types (You, Your Employees, Your Market))

    PEOPLE 
    Entrepreneurship is for anyone with the moxie to make it happen. The point is you will have certain weaknesses that must be overcome along the way to becoming an entrepreneur, and everyone's process is different. In your case, the big letter to pay attention to is the P, prospecting. IMO, the...

    Yep, I'm an INTJ. I've taken the Myers-Briggs test three different times over the past few years, and it's INTJ every time. I think it's important for everyone to know what type you are. I don't think that it's an exact science, but it'll give you a damn good understanding of why you behave the...

    The WEED Business Idea You Should Totally Steal

    IDEA 
    There will be a lot of risk running an MLM in the pot business, and tons of legal hurdles. However, there will be all kinds of opportunities in the pot space, let me give you an example. My dad knows a guy who gets liquid potassium for $1.60 per gallon, but he only sells it in 1000 gallon...

    Dilemma on whether to get into sales

    Exactly. You need to solve a problem, and create the product from scratch. Do not join an MLM, I can assure you that would be a mistake. In general, extroverts have skills that are geared to face to face sales, introverts are geared more for marketing. However, around here we believe in...
