Defining The Levels of Progression
HOT! MINDSETI don't know if this will help at all, but some thoughts I had. The stage I'm in now is the hardest stage so far (maybe all the stages are as you progress up the ladder?). As a "small business operator" (to steal a line from, I believe, @Kung Fu Steve), my business has essentially been built...- CareCPA

Help me understand this blog model
If it's got high enough traffic, you can slap some sponsored posts in there and make some quick affiliate money. Or, if you have, for example, a supplement company, or anti-aging cream company, you can directly promote your own product. Without having any info, I have to assume the value is...- CareCPA

Can't seem to sell our social media services
HOT! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIAThis will always be your challenge. As a business owner, there are a lot of scummy marketers out there. If you tell me it's going to take 3 or 4 months to see results, and I need to pay you for those 3 or 4 months on blind faith, you need to convince me that I'm going to get results. If you're...- CareCPA

Selling Your Business
I respectfully disagree. Each day, you have finite time and energy. Therefore, how you use that time and energy is extremely important. Yes, in general, more knowledge is better than no knowledge. However, focused knowledge is better than more knowledge. The reason that worrying about the...- CareCPA

2020 Fastlane Summit at Talking Stick Resort... Event Info

The Poor Man I Cant get a job: Flipping Stuff Log
HOT! SIDE HUSTLEYes. My wife saw a job at a nonprofit in Seattle she was interested in (we live in Central PA). So we flew out there for her to interview. There would have been no relocation package. We just told them we would be in the area anyway, so it was no big deal for her to come in to interview. She...- CareCPA

From 0 To $240,000 Per Year PROFIT In 18 Months (Acquisition Entrepreneurship)
GOLD! HOT!Or just start sending out lowball offers. There's a theory (especially in flipping real estate) that if 99 out of 100 people aren't insulted by your offer, you're doing it wrong. However, for that 1 out of 100, they just want out. And if you can make the selling process easy for them, they'll...- CareCPA

Really good (but obscure) business books?
HOT!Since you're our social sciences person... Any studies into the effectiveness/retention of audiobooks vs traditional books? I'm guessing it depends on learning style of the individual? I know there's been a lot of research into learning styles, so I'm assuming any studies would mirror that.- CareCPA

Anyone Have Experience With LASIK Eye Surgery?
HEALTHI had it done about 10 years ago now. Actually I had PRK - so instead of them cutting a flap and folding it back to do the lasering, they scrape off the outer layer of your eye - and then it grows back. I was hoping to be a military pilot at the time, and PRK was approved, but LASIK wasn't...- CareCPA

What business would you start with $50,000 to help save bees
HOT!Maybe I'm misunderstanding the end goal. I thought the issue with bees dying is that they pollinate so much of our food source, that without the bees, everything up the food chain will suffer. In that case, does sending the bees to a random field out in the middle of nowhere help? I guess I...- CareCPA

What business would you start with $50,000 to help save bees
HOT!If you buy close enough to a town, consider a community garden setup integrated with the bees. The bees pollinate the garden, leading to better harvest. The garden provides flowers/nectar for the bees, obviously = honey. Local produce cuts down on shipping stuff across the country. People in...- CareCPA

GOLD! HOT!Wary, yes, but I wouldn't necessarily run away. I end up doing a lot of projects for e-commerce companies who want to sell but have no/terrible books.
