    Asking someone if they need help - how exactly?

    oh, I'm sorry I'm coming late to this party! Dude, I used to be like you. Only worse, because I STILL can't wrap my ego around 'be helpful because you like people'. I'm not altruistic. I don't like people, except in mass quantities, and only so I can manipulate them; or individually, and then...

    Do you regularly make smoothies?

    oh, yeah: cranberry or apple juice banana yogurt chia seeds peanut butter protein powder random berries ~ 1 L. after every training session, so 2 - 3 days a week. Massive calories. I used to be unhealthily thin, and if I'd known about smoothies earlier, I think it would have helped a LOT.

    ah ha multiview - has anyone used this search engine to advertise?

    MARKETING 
    I was enticed by a specialty venue / magazine... and they use ah ha multiview, which costs far less, and seems like it would draw more of my niche market. But I've never heard of them. Anyone with experience?

    Do visible tattoos negatively impact entrepreneurs business with customers, clients, or investors?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    It completely depends on who your best customers are. If I were your best customer (that's a joke, by the way, I'm nobody's best customer) - it would matter. Depending on what I'm buying, it might matter a lot.

    Marijuana entrepreneurship; industry discussion

    HOT! 
    I live in Oregon. Specifically, Southern Oregon. Where there are now both side by side 'dispensaries' in town and hidden cartel grows just over the CA border. I know people who are absolutely making bank - and they're very nervous, because the legislation is still unclear, sometimes the...

    What Important Truth Do Few People Agree With You On?

    MINDSET 
    That a lot of what we do is just a game to keep ourselves occupied. So many slowlaners are deeply emotionally vested in paper pushing... until something bad happens, and then they're all over social media with smarmy 'love your parents/friends/kids' blerg.

    How to make $1,570 in one day | Dumpster Diving

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Dumpster diving is definitely better in swanky college towns, but not bad in smaller ones. Most divers forget the 3S rule: Don't do Stupid things, with Stupid people, in Stupid places. Dumpster dive in the early afternoon or evening, stone cold sober, in obviously public places. Because at 2am...

    Wikipedia Page Creation: Resellers Wanted

    MARKETPLACE 
    I worked with a tech startup, and several of the engineers asked me to do their Wikipedia pages. They didn't have time, but it was needed for a few of them, especially as the principals had them. I charged them $300 each for a minimal page, a few years ago, so it looks like your pricing is spot on.

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    Everyone's situation is different. I followed the advice of Michael Bluejay, bought a house at 100% financing, guaranteed by both federal and state agencies, and rent out enough rooms that my mortgage is in the negative numbers. It's owned by a trust, and I have a lifetime tenancy. For me, the...

    Disabilities and Limitations

    MINDSET 
    Let's talk about limitations. Some of the people coming to this forum, including me, have physical disabilities. There are days when it's not actually possible to get anything done. So if there's a physical limitation, and we still want to be in the Fastlane, why am I posting this under Mindset...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    Here's a fair overview of the options. I went with Wyoming because they have an extra layer of security, which I needed for one of my little niches.

    What to do with profits?

    Check out Profit First - I've started using it to keep track of multiple businesses - it's so much more elegant than other systems. As to how I spend it - that was decided a long time ago. I"m ... frugal, by nature and upbringing. I buy quality stuff, but just once, if I can. I rent the...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    Get in touch with your state's Business Registry - the SBA has a full list. Just call up and start asking questions. It is literally their job to get you the correct documents. The folks in Oregon are just fantastic! Plus, there's no sales tax. Plus, I registered in Wyoming for privacy. YMMV.

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I've gone to the first two consulting conferences - completely worth it. Next one's in Chicago. I have come to a crossroad, and re-read "Man's Search for Meaning", the later version that goes into logotherapy. Serious stuff, so of course my mind goes to the scene in The Princess Bride, where...
