    The most simple business idea I've ever seen

    IDEA 
    I've talked about how simple business is in the past, but what I recently came across blew my mind. Last week I found a news story about an entrepreneur in another state. Guess what his business is? Its a freaking line company. People pay him to stand in line. At first it was just him...

    Introvert VS Extrovert

    MINDSET 
    I recently saw a post by a member asking if being introverted holds you back in business. Today I was in Barnes and Noble, and came across a book for introverts. It basically encouraged them to find their strengths and to be proud of being introverted (Nothing wrong with that) When someone...

    Would love some advice

    I appreciate your response and I see where you are coming from. However my issue isn't lack of ability, habits, or due to a bad business idea. My issue is government red tape for this specific type of business. I've run the business so far without being compliant and have not had any issues...

    Overcoming Sales Anxiety

    MARKETING 
    I think most, if not all salespeople get some form of sales anxiety. Especially when it comes to new entrepreneurs. It is something that needs to be overcome or you will never have any real success. I grew up in a dysfunctional and extremely poor family. I didn't grow up knowing how to sell to...

    Seasonal Industry?

    I appreciate the reply! 1) My monthly drill paycheck helps cover a large part of my bills every month. Doing the math I'll need to make an additional $200-$250 a month to cover bills and my personal expenses. I can probably do some side work or donate plasma if I have to. A friend of mine who...

    Seasonal Industry?

    The industry my business is in, is seasonal. I've been noticing the decline for a little while now and I know it will only get worse going forward. It wont pick up for a long time. The business itself isn't at risk of going under. But it will be making very little money, if any. And I still have...
