    In Texas they are trying to get rid of the emissions test. I'm sure in the not so distant future it will be a thing of the past.

    Thoughts on the Facebook MarketPlace

    Right now, the way they have it, there are no charge backs. Once you pay with Facebook, it's a done deal.

    MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    I have a website that now brings in probably 1/2 of my sales but Market Place was so convenient. I guess I can always shut it all down and make Youtube videos if it doesn't go how I want it to go. I just hate editing though.....

    A few weeks ago Facebook changed up Market Place (Seems really slow to post things now). Today Facebook changed the entire look of Facebook (Not a fan of the new look but I have no say-so in it)...... are they getting ready to start charging for Market Place? If so, they are going to mess up my...

    Getting paid for waiting...

    Back in the cleaning business, we always had the key or garage code for our regular cleans but if we did a move in or move out clean I demanded cash only (no other form of payment was accepted for a move in or move out) before my girls ever stepped foot in the house. If we agreed on 11am start...

    New here and ready to scale my bike hustle

    INTRO 
    So I asked my wife, who works at a very high class art museum. For the record, she said when something is between 20-100 years old it can be vintage. But it's more of a specific time, say vintage 1970's or vintage 1990's. She loves to collect porcelain dolls and she said it is hard to figure out...

    Y'all must not know that we just had 1/2 of California move here since 1017! No joke, I used to get 15 texts a week wanting to know if I had any electric dryers. My response was..... did you just move from California? Then they would say, "Yes! How did you know?" And I would say... because you...

    Hell no! If you are thinking about moving, move some where else besides Texas! Don't make traffic any worse than it already is. Move to Mississippi, they have very nice white beaches, all we have in Texas is trashy b!tches :blush:

    This is the way it was when we bought this house (Texas). If we would have needed a loan, we would have never of gotten it.

    What to offer/sell to my rich friends?

    I guess my question is.... how many have you suckered in so far and what type of thing(s) were they a sucker for? Then, we can go from there..... (<<<< I hate that saying by the way, my ex used to say it all the time. But, it fit perfect there, so there you have it) :)

    I know a guy that was a heck of a motorcycle rider and then he crashed..... wheel chair bound. At first I'm sure he thought his life was over just like anyone would but then after he got out of the hospital his dad said.... let's build a race car and equip it so you can drive it. Not only does...

    Started A Mobile Oil Change Business But Struggling To Get Customers

    EXECUTION 
    I'm not saying he won't have a hard time, I'm saying that any business that is ran by under-cutting price is a business that needs to be left behind and forgot about. When I started my carpet cleaning business 20 years ago, I set my price at .50c sf while all others in town were charging at...

    Started A Mobile Oil Change Business But Struggling To Get Customers

    EXECUTION 
    Never under cut anyone on price for anything at any time. If you can't make it at a high price then do not do it. You can get work, 1 by 1, but it usually takes for ever to build up a customer base...... but give it a try. I'm known for doing things like this myself. People say it will take for...

    Selling books as a side hustle? How do i go about it?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    This is just a guess but, I'd say they are buying them by the truckloads in gaylords. Then scanning them to see how much they are worth on Amazon. Then they send the big profit books to Amazon and sell the rest cheap. Lots of money in doing books that way.
