    No doubt! It fits right in with my short list of chronic business coaching failures over the years. With rare exceptions, I can't convince any founder / business owner to: increase prices fire crappy workers fire crappy customers outsource ANY work (much less high value work) due to perceived...

    "33 Incredible Millionaire Statistics [2022]" - article discussion

    CHAT 
    Wow, both terrifying and sad?!? Say it ain't so. LOL. There are about 62.5 million millionaires globally, a 11.4% increase from 2020 It's worth questioning why "$1M isn't really a whole lot" when it puts all those people into the top 0.7% of the world based on stats from the same article...

    I'd bet those people are assholes twelve months out of year. Relocate them to the equator and nothing would change. Cold weather doesn't keep Canada from being uber friendly to the entire world. :innocent: :halo: Our entire family spent the last four years on extended trips finding the next...

    I never found that setting goals for earning XXX money to be useful e.g. Be a multi-millionaire in five years. It's too restrictive, too artificial and gives you no metrics for tracking progress on activities that would actually be helpful in reaching the goal. Let's say you want to run 10K in...

    Hobbies and leisure time are both desperately lacking in the US. Enjoying a casual stress free life takes practice.

    You weren't happy with Citizens United? It's been twelve years since the Supreme Court decision which allow exactly what you're claiming isn't allowed. Prior to that, campaign finance restrictions have been kicked around for at least the past hundred years regardless of whichever party happens...

    Well, thankfully he's not wasting the $135K salary on purchasing food from grocery stores. Why not take advantage of a non-profit trying to get food into the hands of hungry families?

    The Prototype Is done, Now What?

    SOURCING 
    What are your projected margins selling the 3D print? That includes marketing, production, shipping and labor. Mass production is only going to (potentially) reduce production costs.

    The Prototype Is done, Now What?

    SOURCING 
    As you stated pretty clearly, your current issue isn't worrying about injection molding. It's seeing whether anyone will buy the 3D printed version of the prototype. Then see whether more people will buy it. Maybe so many people will want it so badly that you just sell 3D prints that are god...

    There's no shortage of devs available to hire.

    This is an *excellent* post. Well done. Creating systems that consistently work better than the creator should be the goal of every entrepreneur. I think the biggest reason that 90% of entrepreneurs don't put systems into place is the same reason that don't learn how to effectively outsource...

    Hmmm, lifestyle or skill? I certainly can't tell the difference at this point. Both developed simultaneously over time. I only know a handful of people with similar lifestyles that were never entrepreneurs. Far more E-people doing our thing.

    Hi, JB. The goals are spot on, but I'm wondering about the implementation. Aren't there any number of established platforms that would allow you to automate without building them?

    Or even users. Nowadays, "scaled" is more like "organic", "natural" or "healthy."
