    Ahhh Feels Great To Report a Business For Discrimination (another reason to go Fastlane)

    OFF-TOPIC 
    No, that's the way a great company should hire people. A couple of phone calls, come in for a few interviews, go out to eat with you & your partner and maybe another interview after that. Not always but most of the time it leads to less turn over which means less money spent on training or just...

    Cleaning Company: Need Help With A Bid

    Since they have had those kind of problems, maybe they need to be impressed. Check in to a tracking system and include it in the bid. It's not very much at all (less than $100 a month). You will be light years ahead of your 'competition' by adding this to your bid and make sure to make it stand...

    Scam? Please help!

    SIDE HUSTLE WEB DESIGN 
    He can use PayPal if he wants to. Anyone can use PayPal, even without an account. If your business model is to use PayPal then stick with YOUR business model. Don't do something you are not 100% comfortable doing. You might miss out on a little money but you might save yourself a LOT of headache.

    Is a home an appreciating asset? Think Slowlane Context

    SLOWLANE REAL ESTATE 
    We go back and forth with this. We had moved in to an apartment (I first had it as my office). It was huge (about 1350sf) for an apartment. The only reason we moved from the apartment is because it sold to new owners, the new owners brought in new managers, the new managers sucked so we started...

    FBA Retail Arbitrage to fund bigger things

    EXECUTION 
    If you are going to stay in this type of business, don't forget about WalMart. My friend in Kansas City and I were talking about the company, Deliverr about 9pm tonight and then I looked on MSN about 9:30 and there was an article about WalMart and Deliverr. So, the Amazon world might be changing...

    How long would 80-Million dollars last YOU?

    HOT! 
    We spend about $130,000 a year so, quite awhile. If we really tried we could probably spend $150,000 but as it is now, we buy all the junk we want so it might be hard to get up to $150,000 for us.

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

    GOLD! IDEA 
    At the park near downtown Omaha, they have I think 2 or 3 machines that are basically a little store. About everything a convenience store has in them. I'm not sure how well they do.

    How many Business Failures did you have before success?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    So I have a question. On #3, the blog, if you would have been having success, would you have kept it going or do you think you would have lost interest even if it had been a success?

    Habit changer: TV is a pitiful waste of time

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Hey now!!! Don't be talking crazy! :) I rarely watch tv (sometimes right before bed) but I am getting one for the garage this week and I asked my wife to order another cable box. Just about an hour ago my wife asked why I was getting one for the garage since I never watch it in the house. I...

    Cleaning Company: Need Help With A Bid

    I never was a wheeler/dealer in the cleaning business. If I wanted $100 to do something, I never went down to $99.99. My grandson has a story he loves to tell about that, he thinks it's funny because I wouldn't go down 1 penny. lol My reason was, I had already figured my costs and given the best...

    Starting a cafe with no capital, no experience?

    I doubt any bank would loan you the money with no experience anyway but if they did, right now you have no capital and no experience, if someone did loan you the money here is what you would end up with in a year when you move, lots of debt and a bad experience. Heck, a few years ago when...

    Cleaning Company: Need Help With A Bid

    I didn't bid on many commercial jobs as I tried to stay residential, but the commercial jobs I did bid on, this was exactly the way it wasn't. Yes, they were some magical unicorn that once you put in the bid you are done. The only thing you find out is that you did or did not get the job and by...

    I see why he gave out these for free. A few already exist. The rest, well, we are probably better off if they never are attempted. lol I only read through the first 50(??) maybe? Then it took 17 minutes to scroll through the rest to get here. I have a better idea than these.... for fun, those...

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    No, it either drops it in the box or it rings. It doesn't have anything to do with strong service.

    Post Your Desk or Work Area! (The Workspace Thread)

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    The next time I am in Nebraska Furniture Mart (Texas. Yes, very bad name for the company since they are not just in Nebraska.) I will be sure and take a picture of all the screens up on the wall. It's suppose to make 1 picture but they are all over the place.

    A new marketing tool I'm using with ridiculous ROI

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    Don't forget..... make sure the service you choose to use does NOT ring the phone at all, not even a ding. If it dings the phone at all, it is not legal under certain circumstances. I think the company Johnny Boy mentioned does it legally.

    2nd Surgery, Off-work, Bills Due

    MINDSET RANT 
    And on a related note, pay your rent, food and house bills. If you have any credit cards or anything like that, put them off until you are back to work. The main goal is to take care of the family, not credit companies right now. If the credit companies call bitching just tell them this.... I...
