    I would LOVE some feedback on my new niche web design agency

    HOT! 
    We have SO much technology at our fingertips. And yet I see a very plain hero section with three laptops just sitting there? Unacceptable. @minivanman was right when he said $1.95. Okay - with the bashing now down, let's get down to business. In this day and age of video or animated...

    How to detect deceitful people

    HOT! 
    I will add some more insight to my earlier post, which I am keeping separate so it can stand on its own. On several occasions, when I have sought "understanding" to help me sort out my feelings of betrayal, I was told - every damn time - to drop the victim mentality and move on. Funny, I am...

    How to detect deceitful people

    HOT! 
    What an enlightening thread. I have just now (after follow up reading) identified for the first time what is wrong with several people that I have been "nurturing" and "waiting" for them to grow up by repairing the damage they have caused. Or at least admit to it. It occurred to me that they...

    How to protect your product from copycats

    For a real-life example of your theory, which I like by the way... Legend has it that the guy that invented the weed trimmer that uses fishline didn't get a dime for his invention. I have not been able to get any facts on this, so I don't know. But - now I go into Home Depot and I see a dozen...

    How to protect your product from copycats

    Excellent - but scary as hell - answer Walter. I have many really great ideas. Getting knocked off is my biggest fear. I know that I not only could get knocked off but that I could end up against a giant in a legal battle. Don't like any of those factors. For every great idea I have, I can...

    Ah, create lying fake reviews. Good plan. You're exactly what's wrong with the world today. Scammer.

    Spending 100k on townhouse, good or bad?

    Did you miss something? Yes, you missed the boat completely. I am amazed at how people want to pay off a property, or worse yet, get a 10 or 15-year mortgage so they can pay it off as quickly as possible. Bad, bad, bad. Why is that? The cost of money. Your mortgage costs you what? 4.5%...

    I'll have to have another go at it. WAY too much hyperbole for me. I wouldn't be all gushing at what I've read so far. If that impressed you - then you have to take it up a few notches. But, that's another point... (Hate that writing style, as I'm sure you see by now! It's the Guru dance...

    @Johnny boy - you are my mentor! Every post I have read of yours just leaves me awestruck. I was thinking along the same lines as you, but you really laid out a detailed plan, step by step - that would work. Your plan could easily result in sales increasing by TEN times in a couple of months...

    Man stole $122m from FB & Google by sending them bills.....which they paid.

    FUNNY 
    Holy macaroni, I can't believe how stupid these companies are. I got a puter, so I'm sending em some bills right now! In reality, a merely ACCEPTABLE accounting system has POs. Purchase orders. Nothing gets paid unless it has a PO - and it better match up exactly. When the PO is paid, it's...

    GOLD! 
    You're killing it man! Love your updates. But now for something completely different. Once you get these accounts on board for SEO, etc. how are you planning on keeping up with all that work. I can see this overwhelming you in short order. Congrats on being #1 on SEO! That alone is exactly...

    PEOPLE 
    LOL - I was going to let this go by, but you do need a bit of insight so you can have one more tool in your arsenal to use. That was a joke - very dry humor. Doesn't come across well in written form. Sorry. Let me give you another example. Suppose someone came up to me and said they don't...

    PEOPLE 
    I'm sappy and whiny. The way you say it makes it sound like it's a bad thing. I have a brother that is an action hero. Does everything himself, has to know everything everyone else knows - allows nobody to have anything up on him in any way. I don't enjoy talking to him. He is a super-hero...

    PEOPLE 
    Yeah I know. That's why you have these two very powerful tools... Imagine the awe they will have when they see the "new you" that has moved past the past. You are now on a quest for much bigger and better things. You don't have time for the things you've already paid the price to learn...

    Been there, bought the whole T-Shirt Shop. Several times, in fact. Listen carefully... I am an expert on this. 1) You are in charge of your life. 2) You set the boundaries and make ALL the rules. 3) Nobody can interfere with you OR make you feel bad without YOUR permission. 4) An insult from...

    You might think so. I had an office like that a couple of times actually. They sure look nice. But for some reason, I've never found a primo leather chair that was comfortable which you could sink back into. Those executive chairs are always straight-backed and hard as a rock. They DO keep...

    Good advice @B. Cole - of course. I always like your posts. After all the great advice here, I was sure the site would be much better. It has been enhanced. Still tastes like a 4-hour old glass of warm beer though. Yes, it's beer, but there's something very wrong with it. This is a great...

    Flippin Hilarious!!! Thanks for the great post. Great minds think alike. Rum and Coke with some Cool Ranch Doritos and I can go for days. Pizza - burned out on that long ago, although it is well known for its code enhancing therapeutic qualities.

    The desk on the right is my work desk. The left one is for video production, hence the big technicolor monitor. Gonna get organized within a month. Had to take a before picture (for the before and after versions) of it being in its messy state. Hard to believe any work gets done here...

    Not to derail the thread - I'll close this out and "return to our regularly scheduled program." After giving this much thought, I can now figure out what happened. When she was in college - she had everything taken care of - but that wasn't enough. She would sell her clothes to her friends...
