    Financial analysis: Do I buy this Tesla Powerwall system?

    INVESTING 
    I recently (2 months) bought a house with rooftop solar panels in California. It was definitely a plus factor when making the purchase decision for this home. Since we don't have battery storage, We sell a large portion of our unused electricity to our local utility.

My Lawn Care Biz Numbers So Far (I'm not including cleanups profits, as they are not recurring) MRR...

    I recently switched over from in person quotes to phone/satellite quotes. I got burned on multiple occasions by under charging. Since Google Maps often displays outdated info, I'm going back to in-person quoting.

    I have heard this phrase so many time, but never took it seriously until now What are some effective frameworks/activities to beat the inside game that you have seen work on yourself or other? I suspect my struggle is overthinking or maybe thinking too small.

    I start my idea today (eCommerce + POD)

    HOT! IDEA 
    I would also add, it's much easier to afford ad costs with a recurring physical product, say specific soap or tooth paste and what not. I buy toothpaste that 3x more expensive that colgate bc of hydroxyapatite ingredients. I will continue buying it until I lose my teeth, I'm 26 now. I currently...
