    Let's Build a Spec House!

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks for the great answers. Yes, the big builders go to great lengths to keep everything in house. Their own sales teams that are top notch - but very limited in what they do. They only know their products. Do you think having me in the office to help the buyers needing to sell their own...

    Absolutely fascinating thread. Congrats on the quality and success you're enjoying! As a real estate agent, I have a basic question for you GR, which I hope you can shed some light on. It's basic for you, but it isn't for me. I always wanted to work with builders. It seems some builders...

    Help: Should I abandon my business partnership w/a friend and start my own company?

    PEOPLE 
    You are not only young, but incredibly young. Nothing to worry about on that front. More importantly, what you have went through has hardened you and given you drive and focus. Those are the tools that will elevate you to levels of success I don't think you could have otherwise obtained. You...

    Calling All Salesman (Advice Needed!)

    EXECUTION 
    You are a frickin slave. What do you want to hear here? $10 an hour is an insult. There. Now what? If you can't find a company to pay you $100K a year, then make your own. $100K / 52 weeks / 40 hours is $48 an hour. That's five TIMES what you're making now. Highly doubtful anyone is...

    One of the best articles I have read in eons. I like the details. And the honesty. Most books are just too generic to be helpful. Not this article. This could be a blue-print for Dave to follow almost to a T. Thanks for posting this. So much rubbish on the internet - and then every now...

    Speaking of genius teachers that broke free and became wildly successful... (I'm looking at you Dave) Stephen King was a "lowly" English teacher before he decided to become a writer. J.K. Rowling, although not a teacher, was on welfare when she finished her first Harry Potter book. She also...

    You are a dynamo. Work is a four letter word that never scared you, obviously. I actually was quite a worker in my younger days, and have a bad back to show for it. So I have no desire to jump into something like that. I also thought about the jewelry business at one time - because it's...

    Stunning picture. The word table alone does not do this justice. The first things that comes to mind are: enclave. Retreat. Nook. Dining set. These say so much more than just table. Maybe combine them - retreat in style and comfort to your private enclave and savor the moments... Ah yes...

    Honestly man - you work way too hard. You have to pick these up - clean and test them - deliver them when sold. All for $200? Maybe less? If, as a side benefit, you're built like a brick sheet house, then that's a great side benefit. But the money - - - I hope your customers tip you well...

    Well, this analysis changes everything. Now it looks damn good! However, I'm having a hard time seeing 1,000 sales. I love to go to auctions, and dinette sets are so often not sold at any price. Everyone has one. Bedroom sets go for super low prices usually because the demand is so low, as...

    Sorry - I didn't explain myself clearly. I know that much, at least. I was wondering because I wanted to compare how you went from appliances to whatever it is you are doing now. Commerce, business, is too vague, of course. I am following this thread with interest because I think the...

    Can you explain what ecommerce is? I don't get the lingo, obviously. To me it is the equivalent of business - which is saying nothing. "I'm going to start a business." What does that say? Nothing. I'm going to start a business selling used cars - that I get. I know I'm behind the times in...

    Hmmm. Well that radically changes this idea. It's like this forum, but exposing your ideas in detail for development ideas and help from other members? Wouldn't do it. Never. Isn't that how Mark Zuckerberg got started? They wanted him to build the architecture for Facebook, and he liked...

    Well Hugh - all I can say is you must have more than one brain, and they're all working overtime. Great List. You may be starting a little late, but you are starting with a bang. Going the speed you are capable of, you will have no trouble catching up in the race. I wish I had a friend like...

    After an enjoyable lunch, he would try to have you pick up the tab. Then he would ask you if you knew who I am, and had my phone number, and if you did, he'd call me. Such a simple question. You're an addict of the TV show "Apprentice" I bet. Think things out a bit more and at least make it...
