    How should we think about spending money for our business?

    While this is a bad thing, don't let it get you down. That is exactly how I built my original business..... winging it 1 day at a time. Back then, I had 0 guidance. Coming from where you are, I'd say, take 1 hour to sit down and write out a little plan.... just something. If you only have 15...

    New laundry business idea - Why wouldn't it work?

    IDEA 
    We did not offer laundry when I owned my cleaning company but the lady that bought one of them does now and 2 man hours of cleaning and laundry would be $225 from her. Just sayin....

    What kind of mattress do you own?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As of 11am today I will own several Sealy/Simmons/Serta mattresses if you are interested ;) Be careful when buying a boxspring or riser. Some have cardboard in them and that cardboard makes it squeak every time you move. If you buy your bed in person and if you sleep on your side, it is...

    [Progress Thread] The Blogger's Lifestyle Journey

    EXECUTION 
    Keep track of that $9 book and make sure it's not making your $47 books less desirable. It takes 5+ people to buy the $9 book to make up for 1 person buying the $47 book. Hopefully you made the $9 book lead in to the $47 book(s). Sounds like you are hustling!

    Experimenting a little bit..

    EXECUTION 
    I do just about everything. lol My foundation business for many years was house cleaning. At the time, that's what was making me a lot of money so I stuck with it. At that time I was a micromanager so I basically made my own life harder than it had to be. I tried to micromanage an office in 3...

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah, prolly time to move on. ^^That was a true story by the way. lol 4 years later and I still have that taste in my mouth :duh: I do see why you want to continue for the experience but move on to something else and maybe make some money and get experience at the same time.

He took them back and they offered him 2 more corn dogs.... he wasn't thrilled but that's all the offered..... when he sat down he asked me if I wanted a corn dog. I had no clue about the first 2 corn...

    Science Blog...

    Just write it like you might talk in front of a class, don't write it like you are trying to impress Google. Make some posts 1200 words long and make some 4000 words long. Nice, neat and clear with a few good pictures on a really good theme and you will go far. Just don't cram it with ads. Great...

    Went in for one thing, came out with another

    lol My buddy taught me everything I know. He owns 36 Burger Kings. When BK has a sale, he does not participate. Back when BK offered free fries (many years ago), he did not offer free fries. If they have 2 sandwiches for $6, his are regular price. So here is where I'm going with that since he is...

    Went in for one thing, came out with another

    I do nothing complimentary. I've never believed in that. In the house cleaning business we didn't even empty the trash complimentary..... $ .25c per can and then it moved up to $1 for them all to make things more simple. As for the expensive mattresses, I might give away a mattress cover for a...

    Dead-End Sh*t Jobs ... Yours?

    NOTABLE! 
    I don't know if I commented or not but my worst job was working on an oil rig. I was in the best shape of my life. I was a runner and over-all athlete. I had just won a gold metal for the decathlon in my city a couple of years before.... I was in tip top shape. So I went to work on an oil rig...

    Went in for one thing, came out with another

    A few days ago I met a guy, we exchanged cards so I text him later that evening. He owns several businesses and was needing a little help with one of them. Come to find out, he owns a LOT of businesses and is actually retired but makes deliveries because he loves doing it..... this is just like...

    Hiring employees for jobs that suck

    PEOPLE 
    I think you are wrong and have the wrong opinion about this type of work. YOU love it and there are others that love it as well. Don't look down on this, some people live for this type of work. Do you think it's better or worse than the person that drains the toilets of a plane after every...

    Hiring employees for jobs that suck

    PEOPLE 
    Can you tell us what type of business? I remember awhile ago maybe you mentioned what business you are in? If you don't want to, that's ok. Might be easier to give insight

    Harlingen, Texas oh good LORD!! That says it all for me right there. He is probably correct, he is probably one of the towns high earners. <<< No joke. This is not meant to be bad but I'd guess the IQ is very low of the OP..... just telling everyone so you might understand. I actually had to go...

    Sales for the introverted

    To this day, if someone wants to talk on the phone, I dread it. As above, I'm great once I get on the phone but that dang anxiety right before kills me. I've tried like Marsha Brady said and picture them all naked but it doesn't work for me like it did when she took her drivers test! :rofl:

    Sales for the introverted

    I'm great at it but I really hate it. I'm glad I don't have to depend on doing it anymore. Back in the day I'd have anxiety on the drive and then all the way up to ringing the door bell. Once they answered the door, I was fine. But it was HELL leading up to the opening of the door.
