    Need to be in China in 3 weeks ...Where Do I start ?

    Ah, the voice of reason. It's surprising just how long it takes to get through development, sampling, production & delivery. On any continent! No matter how many projects have been under the bridge, most fail to appreciate the process. I'll add a note of optimism to show that I'm not an...

    I've got to fire my brother.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'd like to add that, in my opinion, it seems a bit unfair to consider an employee's personal life (residence choice/debt/family obligations/bills/etc) in the decision over whom to fire. I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the only thing that matters is whether the employee is getting the...

    I do hope that you didn't create these initial documents while you were on your employer's clock. Your pictures will likely have a time/date stamp. Please tell me that you were joking because if you created this on their dime, they legally own it. I do hope your invention is not directly...

    How to "adjust" your wife accordingly

    LANDFILL 
    Is my math screwed up, or is it the Euros that's throwing me? Maybe if it was in dollars I'd understand? In the diagram under "How rich people think:" there is this equation "A lot of money / 10 = Expensive". Then the math says 250,000 / 10 = 12,500. That doesn't look right to me??? If that...

    It's been my experience with patents that while in a company's employ, anything you create & want to patent will be owned by the company...if it is at all related to the employer's industry. That paper trail you mention is important. It's common knowledge amongst engineers that if you have an...

    Yes. I've found a need in a niche market making a custom product(s) for B2B sales. I worked in this industry previously, saw the opportunity and have begun setting up a small facility to design and produce. I'm working on this on the side, so I don't mention the specific product, my company name...

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

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Very well put. I don't want or need any self imposed handicaps in my venture. Typical tattoos on the torso or limbs are only the beginning of the story. The face tattoos & lobe plugs are beyond my comprehension. But then again, I'm an old soul.

    Your geographic location and it's weather/climate can definitely have an impact upon your behavior. I live in the midwest, close enough to Lake Michigan that the moisture from the lake creates thick cloud cover for much of the fall and spring, as well as the entire winter. That means that even...

    It's a shame that you're in a position to plan this way. I know everyone makes mistakes though. Why not invest the effort into mending the relationship?

    Hi, and welcome to the forum. So...is your business a physical product, eCommerce site, software, online learning, or "eBusiness: other"??? I'm guessing that it has to do with the school system since you get your summer off. I'm certainly not asking for the name and how much $$ it makes you...
