    How to instill hard-working values in my kids

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As a child rather than pay the tram fare to school I would walk for miles to save up the money so that I could buy anything beyond the small amount of food my mother could put on the table, and the second hand clothes she could barely afford to buy for me to wear. That taught me valuable...

    Can't Trademark

    If your market is mainly the US, that is where you should register it. If the trademark is a generic word, you can tweak it by changing the spelling while leaving the pronunciation still obviously sounding the same and having the same meaning. Another way is to have one letter of the mark...

    Thanks for your input, which could be helpful to many. Personalization is of great value when emailing. I don't do mass emailing, mainly because my target prospect list is very small. Although there are many in the right industries, I have slowly discovered by thorough research that a lot of...

    Crazy Plan - Fastlane Forum Project

    I think it is a great idea but impractical. @Andy Black puts it well when he says it would be like herding cats. The people you mention certainly have valuable skills but they are all independent thinkers. Yesterday in another post I said about myself that the song "My Way" described my...

    Let's talk about franchising

    HOT! 
    That very impressive document takes the reader back to Roman times when the concept of franchising was then well entrenched. It was not as we know it today, but the principles are there.

    How can I get my product made?

    I have the chemical know-how and can provide a formula for making the gel if you like. No cost of course. You need to work out the viscosity you want, but you could experiment by tweaking the formula. The major ingredient other than water is used in tiny quantities, so a very slight variation...

    Several same businesses?

    Previous responses have pointed out that operating under different brands is a very common business practice. The big companies don't try to hide the fact. They boast about it, because they know that people will be more likely to trust products that they know are made by a company that they...

    How can I get my product made?

    It's not easy to offer a helpful suggestion without knowing something about the product. What material/s do you propose using to make it? Do you know what manufacturing method will be used, such as injection molding, stitching, metal machining etc? Walter

    I somehow missed this post, but here is my answer. My lesson #1 about sourcing products on Alibaba is: Don't believe everything you read on that site.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    Margins are insanely high, but that doesn't mean that suppliers will cut their prices to the bone. Haggling is often recommended by so-called experts, but in Chapter 10 of my book I explain in details why you should not try that. Instead in Chapter 10.10 I reveal an incredibly simple trick of...
