Terrified of cold calling!!!
EXECUTIONHow so you propose getting around the do not call list? I get at least 3 calls every day from someone selling something. I'm getting annoyed to the point of researching how to sue them. My phone is not there to be used as their marketing tool.- Real Deal Denver

Emotionally attached object sold for startup?
If it's a thing that can be replaced by money, is that worth holding you back? Your time is not something that can be replaced by money. I weigh what I want by how much I have to work to get it. Everything converts to dollars, if they're things. Dollars convert to time. Right now I am...- Real Deal Denver

Describe your first sale as an entrepreneur!
NOTABLE! EXECUTIONThis story dates back to about 1982 or 1983. My first big sale was the result of an accident that put a severe crimp on my lifestyle for a week. I accidentally dropped a corning-ware glass cover (cookware) and it broke. I, of course, ordered a new one to replace it. That cost me $15. I...- Real Deal Denver

How to tell my slowlane parents about fastlane without making them sad about their wasted life?
HOT! MINDSET SLOWLANEMe too. I just had a conversation with my wife yesterday, that fits into this mindset. I told her I have passed the stage in life of having an ego to protect. That is so refreshing. However, I have not been able to get past the stage of leaning on someone that has an oversized ego. I know...- Real Deal Denver

Dropshipping vs Amazon FBA
Very good article - thanks for the link. The article said: "For Amazon, it’s often cheaper to replace items when these claims are filed than to investigate." My question, then, is Amazon the one who ate the refund, or was it the merchant? I see this as too big of an opportunity for abuse -...- Real Deal Denver

Dropshipping vs Amazon FBA
What if the refund is for something out of your control - like the customer saying they never got the merchandise. I didn't ship it, so I don't want to be responsible for it. Also, what if the customer says they just didn't like it. Too damn bad. You saw the photos - you bought it - you own...- Real Deal Denver

Slowlane job question; which offer do I take?
SLOWLANEGreat questions! Those were my thoughts exactly. When you ain't got it, you sell the only thing you do have - hot air! Don't let them push your buttons and play you like a piano! Don't screw the obvious choice up!- Real Deal Denver

How Amazon Ruined My Life
INTROWords to live by. I now am closer to the meaning of life and finding true happiness. Very similar to this deep thought is the not too popular saying: When life hands you lemons, get some vodka to go with it, and kick back. I don't know which of these sayings I like more.- Real Deal Denver

Dead-End Sh*t Jobs ... Yours?
