    Looking to Start Business while in College

    I'm normally a strong anti-college advocate, but it sounds like your school knows how to properly educate. That's pretty cool, what school is it? Also, many people feel as though engineering, physics, and math are studies you HAVE to go to school for... they aren't. There is no universal...

    The proper use of "niche"

    Pretty much! It's not just a pet peeve, but it's a mistake that many entrepreneurs are making so it's good to be brought up. And like you said, it's a terrible business model, but I continually see and hear people championing that style model based on that it hits a "niche." Red Bull is huge...

    The proper use of "niche"

    People purposely setting their businesses up for failure doesn't matter? Goodluck to you too haha. And OzGrinder, by all means, go for it. If you want to purposely limit your market to left handed asexual German kittens from Antarctica, go for it. Aight Imma edit this with some more, I'm...

    The proper use of "niche"

    I'm continually seeing the improper application of the concept of "niche." A lot of new guys to entrepreneurship love to throw around how "niche" their idea is. It kills me inside. What niche is not: We are a mobile advertising company, but were not just any mobile advertising company, we're...

    For My Internet Business Should I learn Programming or Hire VA?

    I agree with healthstatus... to a point. I also don't think he is saying "go onto elance and hire the cheapest 3rd world scam artist," as he has stated several times that he pays good bucks for good developers, BUT most people who take the outsourcing advice go for the very very very cheapest...

    For My Internet Business Should I learn Programming or Hire VA?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'd say about 80% of them send me a spec sheet with what they had asked to be done. A lot of it isn't web based, a lot of it is the automation of office tasks and paperwork. I run through the specs they send and if I have the solution already built I re-package it up and send it to them, which...

    Once again, my inbox of "they screwed it up" would say otherwise. Healthstatus, do you have a software company? Or do you use websites as a medium for your business?

    Learning to Program is STUPID! (or SMART?!)

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Epic facepalm. Sophia did not have a software business, she utilized and online store for her products. The product in mind, was not software. I wasn't able to find if Gurbaksh had any knowledge of coding, but his product was software, and if he created a company when he was 16 my bets are...

    And as always here I am with the rebuttal haha. It depends Ruben, what is the company you wish to start? I get about 5 requests a day in my inbox to fix botched outsourcing jobs from India. And my favorite line... "Never outsource your core." If your core is an online web service, you should...

    It's because a lot of us honestly do care about your success. If we didn't, we wouldn't take the time to respond. You stated you're not of the entitlement background, but everything else pointed to that you are. The original post went like complain, complain, complain, feel bad for me...

    Besides you ignoring my initial post, I would compare writing fiction to playing a professional sport. You should begin playing the sport because you love it, strive to become pro, but accept that only few people make it. When you get into the business / consumer "need" portion, I would...

    I stayed at the Taj Mahal in Atlantic City... NEVER AGAIN. The floors to the parking garage were like 4" thick and reverberated literally inches when a car would drive by. All the marble, gold, even wood trim was fake. Tiles and foam. Ever since then I've look at Trump as a goon haha. To...
