    Deciding on the right idea of all of them buzzing around in my head

    MINDSET QUESTION

    MINDSET QUESTION

    Deciding on the right idea of all of them buzzing around in my head

    MINDSET QUESTION 
    Just to play devils advocate here. Could it be that there's a market but nobody's out there even paying for it? I guess to answer my own question, It's extremely rare that a (successful) company is based on a novel idea or creating/tapping into a market out of thin air ( like that smarty pants...

    IDEA MINDSET QUESTION 
    how do I respond to a post with a smiley/laughing emoji? ( Honest question) i don't seem to have that option. Or is that only for insiders? :-D ( for that matter even inserting emojis into posts seems kind of squirrelly - sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't)

    Regarding out of the US stats, those are comparable to mine ( though i've been away from the states longer), so touché :-D And you get points for your US credit card, I'm happy for you, but you don't seem to address my other concerns. Only some vague benefits to remaining a US person, and...

    Pursuing multiple ideas in parallel?

    ASSERTION CHAT QUESTION 
    General question: I know MJ states in the book we should not pursue multiple business endeavors at the same time, but i'm tempted to do so and want feedback from people if they have experience doing so.
