    Difficult choice...

    Sorry if it sounds like I'm contradicting myself, but here's another consideration. Will you learn skills in the lower paying job that could be of value to you down the Fast Lane road? Then maybe it makes sense to switch - assuming you can absorb the lower income.

    Difficult choice...

    What if you decision was framed as follows: Would you accept a 100% chance to lose $30K of income for a 10% (at best) chance of gaining something of an undetermined future value? Stick with your plan unless you get a really good offer somewhere that will teach you something and help you on...

    Warren Buffett... your thoughts?

    HOT! 
    I'm inclined to agree with socialdude and will add some to his CENTS. WB usually has a significant if not out right controlling interest in companies he invests in. This gives even greater control overall AND adds to his Scale. He takes advantage of the float afforded insurance companies to...

    Own a Business? Answer Your Damn Phone

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    Going back to amp's original post. I'd venture to say most of the "customer service" or sales folks at those labs are low paid sidewalkers or slowlaners. They have no vested interest in the success of the business other than their pay check. When I had my own car service is it was a 24/7...

    What are your thoughts on Bucket Lists?

    MINDSET 
    I'm torn on this. I like goals, but to me a goal without a deadline is dreaming. There's no motivation to take action. Most people consider their bucket list as things to do before they are dead...but none of us know when we're going to die. For now, I think $5M before the end of 2023 is a...

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    MHO: Be honest and ready to explain. If you feel fine explaining who/what you are to a potential buyer you're golden. I get it, some companies will not deal with new players or start ups. But if you're not completely honest about what you are and get caught...unpleasantness follows. MJ...

    Don't worry about your English. You're doing great. Besides, we Americans do a wonderful job of destroying our primary language anyway. :)

    Welcome to the forum D.Gintz. Don't worry about failing as you work the process. Failure is part of the process. Failing is how we learn the most. Keep thinking and working through new ideas. Don't get so excited about any one idea that you don't take some time and honestly ask yourself...

    Fox - I just found this thread. It's going to take me some time to get caught up while I time share with actual work on my biz (action faking?). But I've already learned a lot from you. Thank you very much.

    NOTABLE! 
    This is spot on. My wife is a chef in a NE Florida. While some see the $10K as a limit, we see it as an opportunity. Run tests of products at relatively low cost selling as a cottage industry. If it looks like it has legs, step up to renting space from one of the commercial shared kitchens...

    The Latte Factor... smh

    Ain't that the truth. I've "known" for years that something wasn't right. Then I read MJ's books. Now that I understand what's wrong, I see it everywhere.

    Take it or leave it?

    RANT 
    I may have misunderstood you, but I don't understand why he would borrow $200K for a business he already owns and is making money. Unless, he wanted to use the money to grow? Regardless, I'd NOT take the deal. It violates the rule of Control. You will not be in control of the business.

    Completely agree Razorcut! After 25 years in the Navy, I knew I wanted to get into business. Serving my country was always my honor and a choice made freely. But I knew it was a temp job and I was excited when the time came for me to join civilian life. Unfortunately, the books I read and...

    Change is very hard for people, the devil you know for the devil you don't. It would seem you haven't shown then enough benefits to motivate them to change. Try a new approach.

    You've already gotten some good advise from folks here on your store. I'd like to address going to university for a degree in computer science. I love education, engineering undergrad and two masters degrees. I loved all the wonderful knowledge I gained. But I was also a slow lane driver...
