    Why do we love losers?

    EXECUTION RANT 
    I might be just as dumb because I feel the same way. I was the 2nd fastest runner in my class and it used to p!ss me off! When I was in band, if I got 2nd chair, I'd get p!ssed off and next week I'd be back in 1st chair. A few months ago I was a 53 year old whiner because we went to a big time...

    What one thing held you back from starting a successful business more than anything else?

    MINDSET 
    Being ignorant of the real world. My dad always had a J O B and my parents always said the only people that owned businesses had money to begin with. I grew up in a small town where starting your own business wasn't even anything anyone ever thought about. Then I moved to a little bigger town in...

    Firing brother and manager over email/text

    PEOPLE 
    I guess I'm a sociopath lol. I've fired family, friends, current (at the time) girlfriends and people I barely knew. Hell, I've even fired myself a few times. None were emotionally challenging, the only thing that was challenging was that we had less people working. I once fired someone that was...

    I think that hopefully, you've learned your lesson about having a partner and anyone that reads this will learn from your experience. But, you say your brother is your partner.... legally or what? You may have a hard time firing your partner if y'all have a contract of any kind. Heck, I've...

    How important is an 'about us' page with personal info for small and mid sized businesses?

    MARKETING 
    I think this is important as well. Even before the internet days, I put a picture of my manager on our flyers. While everyone else had those cute pictures of houses or a duster, we had a face that put trust in people' mind.

    Not really important at all WHY you borrowed money. Why you did it is a thing of the past. You gave your savings to a company and lost it all. That's why I NEVER spend all of my money in 1 place. Spread it around. I could buy several franchises nowadays but I'd never give 1 company all my money...

    You are correct, IF he had the money when he came here. I thought his government screwed him out of everything, I misunderstood. But still..... he borrowed a small amount of money (at the least) and failed, so now it's going to take him 2-3+ times LONGER to get back in the fastlane. I understand...

    And without any loan payments, just think of how soon you will have $20,000+ saved and by that time you might have a direction of where you want to go. Pay off those loans, don't go back in to debt, work 80+ hours a week and before you know it, you will have way more than $20,000 saved. Then you...
