    Should I leave my current business and start another?

    I like this idea and agree that it's great with virtual employees but how does one implement this for those hands that we need to help out on site?

    Another Coppertop, Unplugging from the Matrix!

    INTRO 
    One thing has always stuck with me...ever since I started working in this field. My previous management had so many business inquiries that they could be picky about which projects they took. It always suggested to me that there is considerable need in the field and plenty of opportunity. I'd be...

    Another Coppertop, Unplugging from the Matrix!

    INTRO 
    What this does for me is reinforce the business model I plan to implement. I'm basically copying the business I once worked at, with some improvements in key areas. The business was essentially self sustaining and the owners didn't even show up if they didn't want to. I'm going to work on the...

    Another Coppertop, Unplugging from the Matrix!

    INTRO 
    I've finished the aforementioned book series and just finished The Millionaire Fastlane too. Probably the most significant take away for me today is the revelation that not all businesses will be "Fastlane". The suggestion to impact millions in order to make millions was enlightening. I'd just...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I've now read TMF. There are indeed some excellent points about life, business and wealth. A professional editor would have made it an easier read, but that wasn't the point, now was it. Overall, I'm glad I read TMF.

    Have an idea. have no idea where to go with it. Kind of

    IDEA 
    It's been a couple months, so perhaps this input is too late to help the OP, but here goes anyway. Good advice on the design patent, but there is little you can do if the copying is done offshore. From my experience in engineering/manufacturing, I'd suggest either of 2 methods to acquire...

    Is importing from China unethical?

    SOURCING 
    I remember that too, and I even worked there as a youth, but it's one of the reasons I almost never go into a Walmart store today. They built the brand on that statement and once they achieved success, quietly changed the platform. I am all about laissez-faire government & free market...

    Is importing from China unethical?

    SOURCING 
    I have had a similar internal struggle, but have come to see the benefit of specialized labor and international trade. Nothing will help the Chinese worker more than good ole Capitalism! Pure Capitalism, but not Crony Capitalism, will quickly remedy any unproductive work environments. I found...

    Free Office Space with Free Wifi Anywhere In America

    Gotta love those libraries, besides, we've already paid for them. I just checked out a new copy of TMF from my local library this past weekend. They didn't have 1 on the shelves or in their inter-library loan program so they bought a brand new 1 from Amazon, just because I asked for it!

    LLC easy or hard way

    When I setup my LLC, I first contacted a local professional. Their advice was to simply use the state's website since everything is so simple here. Indeed it was incredibly easy. The state gov website has a simple "walk thru" site for setting up an LLC. I researched/googled the meaning of the...

    $3500/day to ZERO in one day with FB - Help!

    MARKETING 
    Yes to this! It's very easy to treat people badly over the internet, so you need to reduce the distance between you and the people limiting your business. Call FB, get the name of the rep to deal with. Keep asking and keep calling until you find the right person to handle your case. Be friendly...

    How do you deal with loneliness (in a sea of regular people)

    MINDSET 
    Sounds like there is an unmet need here. I wonder if there is a way to provide a product/service to meet that need? Is there a barrier to entry here? A way to control the product/service offering? A way to scale it and free it from the provider's time limitations??? (Here's my answer to all...

    Woe is me! I hate it when other people do the right thing and get ahead of me!

    +1 to that! I can't even convince my family members to give it a serious try.

    Ayn Rand and Capitalism

    MINDSET 
    Wow, what a mess...but this is the internet! To give you some background, I've read several of Rand's works, both fiction & non-fiction. ("We the living" is an interesting story of traditional/historical socialism.) I've found them quite challenging, and it's led me to read other authors of...
