    A little late to the game...

    INTRO 
    If you measure time, you may be a little late. If you measure experience and a highly developed skill set, you're starting out WAY ahead of the majority of people. You can learn volumes in a decade, which I am sure you have. Think positive and focus ONLY on your strengths. Success is a team...

    Sourcing from China is old news, Vietnam new news?

    HOT! SOURCING 
    My thoughts exactly. Your analysis echoed my thoughts exactly. I really hate the idea of assembling this product here. With the extra freight and labor, my costs would triple. I have to give this some deep thought. I kind of envy the Chinese system. They sift through all the products and...

    Okay Walter. I hang on every word you say. Here is where I'm at. I have a dynamite product. It will require high quality standards, like you mentioned in your post, to stand out as the superb product that it truly is. I am sure I can find a supplier in China to do all of that. Life is...

    What is wrong with me? Why are business ideas hard to come up with?

    IDEA MINDSET 
    There are 3 types of people in the world. Ones that watch things happen. Those that make thinks happen. And those that wonder what the hill happened? As the examples show, that I posted earlier, nobody has to "just" keep hustling and praying for anything. Or, maybe not. The world needs ditch...

    What Should I Do At 17?

    You, being 17, just got your drivers license a year or two ago right? Now you want to be a millionaire? If you knew the stories behind Bill and Mark, you would know the odds of repeating their success. And those odds are not good. I've been 17 over 40 times now - and I'm still waiting for my...

    Um, I like your entire post Crane, except that point. I am incredibly biased. Or, the word I prefer - focused. I am not right all the time, but I do have solid ideas on how to accomplish things. I've also worked in companies that don't - they have meetings all the time to discuss things...

    19 Year Old Who is Aspiring to Become an Entrepreneur

    INTRO 
    As a doting husband, I have spent far more on makeup for my wife than most people ever should. She is a former model of sorts, having entered the profession but decided to not pursue it. I am glad to have such a beautiful wife, although physical beauty is only a small part of who she is...

    Am I failing already? Competitors executing damn well

    Without Goliath, David would have just been a sheep herder that faded into history. Use your competition as a springboard to success. It is SO much easier to succeed when you have something for your customers to compare you to. Be grateful you have competition that does that for you. Also -...

    What Should I Do At 17?

    HOT! 
    To the contrary, I think it would be very difficult to get an idea that is NOT based on some sort of experience (job?) in a business. An inside track of how a business works is a huge advantage. I have learned things that books could never tell me, from every job I've ever had. That's what...

    I had a miserable job for several years. System administrator at IBM. But wow, oh wow, what I learned. I'm not talking about the technical stuff. I had a rare opportunity to work side by side with incredibly talented people. It doesn't matter what the details are that I learned. What I...

    I have an assortment of cute tricks that I use at bars for a drink. I show someone the trick - they smile, and gain it for themselves to use someday - and buy me a drink. Am I ripping them off? No - I'm trading a moment or two of happiness and wonder, for a drink. Even though drinks are a...

    Well - thanks for saying that at least there was good quality merchandise they sold. There was a time when Tupperware and Avon were known for their high quality products, and many a woman ran a side business for these products. I bought a lot of it over the years myself. Never got involved in...

    Short, sweet, and clean. Love it. Personally, I wouldn't offer a refund. It's just not worth the hassle. There are going to be sour pusses out there that will spend two bucks on a get well card, but can't appreciate your card for a lousy buck. Let them worry about it. Life is short...

    I'm going to take a guess and say they changed their name to shed the stigma that all the "have my mind made up" brilliant people had about them. It was a bad move, because it made them look like they were trying to hide something. But that's par for the course for so many CEOs that think they...

    What? Cheap is relative. When it's half a house payment, I don't call that cheap. I know lots and lots of people that don't have it. That's a putrid giant stain on our so called great country. Even Cuba manages to care for their people. Our worthless politicians should be SO ashamed, but...

    Um, no. For every success story, there are the ones yelling and whooping it up on how stupid "those people" are. I'm an Anthony Robbins fan in that I do believe I can figure out secrets to success and duplicate them. I don't have to reinvent the wheel.

    I'm following in your footsteps. Great job! I love real estate because nobody can take it away, unlike a job or stocks. Even if a tornado would suck it up into the sky, I'd still have the land, and the payoff from insurance.

    I like how I explained this idea so much that I'm going to see what I can buy a few commodity products for wholesale. I'll be like Amazon - start very small. They started with books. How many people buy books? Not nearly as many that buy shampoo. I may be onto something here. Five products...

    I like punishment. I like to be kicked and spit on. Now that you know that, I will go completely against the sentiments here. Let the thrashing begin. All of you people that hate MLM don't understand what they're selling. I don't want anyone - repeat, anyone - to pay more for something they...
