    Selling a business?

    But as of today, it's not really worth anything is what I was saying. 5 months isn't that long, the rest of the year could suck and the tariffs are in place today. No one in their right mond buys a business on what if's..... some people DO buy businesses on what if's, I was just saying, no one...

    100 Unsexy Business Ideas: Name as many as you can!

    GOLD! IDEA 
    I had made an offer, but as soon as I do it, someone will get their feelings hurt because they know better than I do. What I can do for under $1000 they want to do it with $150,000 and think they are a professional. If that's what some want to think.... go ahead. But just remember.... when you...

    Selling a business?

    I'm not real sure it's worth much. If I bought it and paid someone to run it, I'd probably minus $15,000+ a year depending what all the 8% profit already includes or doesn't.

    Want to help a friend expand her business

    My vote...... you do your thing and let her do her thing. Today she is your friend you are trying to help. Next month you figure out a way to 'help' her. In 2 years you are the ex friend that screwed up her business, she hates you and never wants to see you again.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Very tough to out market the carpet cleaning guys. They practically invented guerrilla marketing. And, it's a tough race to the bottom, kind of like commercial cleaning. Not to mention, there is less and less square foot of carpet in America every day. Especially at apartment buildings. They are...

    Does the feeling ever end?

    I see the problem now, you are worried about how the competition runs THEIR business. You are worried about THEIR profits. So let's say that you find out they are making $10,000 in profit per week.... what does that tell you? You have no idea about THEIR overhead. It tells you nothing. In order...

    MARKETING 
    Yeah, we had a few problems but nothing turned out serious.... I think the best one was... I was walking up this steep driveway and noticed a Rottweiler sleeping. I couldn't tell if he was on a leash or not. So I quietly (I thought) turned around and was walking down the drive when these 3...

    When I had my house cleaning business I only advertised 1 way.... flyers! They worked great for me! The people that say flyers don't work are the same people that say every type of advertisement doesn't work when in reality.... it's their crappy ad that doesn't work. Here is why I was always...

    Does the feeling ever end?

    Damn, I guess I've always been arrogant :eek: I've had this feeling a few times but it quickly went away once I saw what the business was really about and got comfortable in it. I think what has always helped me is that.... it is what it is. I've always given it a shot and did it my way.... if...

    Care Giving For The Elderly

    What is your goal for this business? Do you just want to work it yourself or grow it and have workers?

    Does the feeling ever end?

    This is exactly why you need to do it within the next 7 days or just forget all about it. Bottom line is.... you are either serious or you're not. If you haven't taken action within 7 days and you tell yourself that you will eventually take action..... every 7 days run over your toes with the...

    Buzzfeed: Tony Robbins accused of sexual misconduct

    This is THE #1 reason I try to stay 100% anonymous. I am not pc and never will be pc because I don't want to be pc. I say what I want, when I want, to whom I want. Honestly, I'm just a little nicer now than I used to be, because people nowadays get their lil feelins hurt so easy and I do try to...

    Buying and Selling Locally Craigslist

    But.... for the people thinking about doing this..... don't buy something for $3 and flip it locally for $20 and think you made a great profit of $17.

    Google disapproving repair ads?!?

    MARKETING 
    As for washing machines..... 99% of the people who are 'qualified' 'repair' people for washing machines do not know how to repair the new style so they should be out of business anyway. 75% of my business is from people who had a repair man out and they couldn't fix the washer..... so they come...
