    Your biggest mental struggle?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I have a somewhat hyperactive mind, as a right brain person I tend to see the big picture and be somewhat impetuous so even when I set out to do something my brain quickly wanders and despite knowing I should stick to my plan 90% of the time I don't do so... Like water I tend to follow the path...

    Great Q&A session with a self-made restaurant/bar owner

    Have you've ever seen Gordon Ramsey's Kitchen Nightmares? Almost every restraunt that needs saving has an owner who lacked oversight and had delegated all the work, when you're delegating to highly paid engineers, designers, managers of some sort it might work but when you attempt to delegate...

    The Business Idea Thread

    IDEA 
    Great suggestion Kurt (telling people to give a reason why they're not using the idea) My play centre idea is just one I offered to anyone interested, it may very well be something I pursue as I can easily get staff onboard. As soon as I am finally finished with school in 2 weeks I will look...

    Beverage Company Idea

    IDEA 
    Indeed, although I remember reading in INC Wang had built a $600m revenue company during the dotcom boom so he had quite a lot of money to invest in Vizio so its growth might not be representative of a bootstrapped startup; a store like Zappos or Newegg would possibly reach the billion dollar...

    Making money by teaching others to make money

    Gymjunie this isn't a personal attack I'm just telling it how I see it with regards to 'gurus'. He has a degree in business (which you deem not very credible) and as Jonleehacker pointed out a successful business. You have neither so any lessons you could possible offer would be based upon...

    Beverage Company Idea

    IDEA 
    Yea unless you were able to come up with a unique product that would be good enough sell itself on word of mouth I would agree with you in saying that only overseas markets have any room for new products really.

    Beverage Company Idea

    IDEA 
    Great suggestion. There is a limit to how many niches exist to be exploited in the American market especially considering how many competitors exist scrambling for their share. I find it hard to see someone being able to even create 30 unique beverages to market, its even harder to picture...

    + A good multivitamin, vitamin D if you tend to feel the winter blues, a balanced diet (plenty of dark vegetables), good sleep and exercise should help greatly reduce your risk of illness.

    SUCCESS STORY: Cons and Deceit

    EXECUTION 
    Yes perhaps you're right, that's a practice to follow. The guy could make just as much selling a number of other products and publications in infomercials so I really don't know why he sells dangerous advice, I guess thats another lesson for consumers that you ought to do due diligence on a...

    SUCCESS STORY: Cons and Deceit

    EXECUTION 
    I agree with all those who critisise him for his lack of integrity (Yves, Lamboman, LagunaLauren), and I agree with Sidney Wolfe's argument that many drugs are of questionable benefit but its completely irresponsible to encourage people to stop taking lifesaving drugs... this guy is a predator...

    Billionaire Dropouts. Is school necessary for success?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Thanks, it's tempting to look at those kind of articles and think "hey if these people have made a collective ~$250bn then why would I need college?" but if you look beyond the headlines most of these people who dropped out would still another Mr Joe Average if it wasn't for an experience or...

    Billionaire Dropouts. Is school necessary for success?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This topic has been beat to death but the consensus it that it's not necessary but going to college (if you apply yourself) will give you a big advantage over those who don't attend and that for each dropout you can find there will be ten who completed college. Also after reading the article it...
