The principle of Focusing on one thing
One of my heroes, Leonardo DaVinci, was an accomplished mathmatician, inventor, physicist, astrologist, painter, carpenter, and more. Each new skill fed into the others and made him better. The info he gained from medicine informed his paintings of humans. His understanding of mathmatics helped...- DennisD

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)
HOT!Just paid for a $9 'marketplace' ad and set up my indiegogo account. Shot and edited this today: Will run the indiegogo campaign for 2 weeks and see if my fellow fastlaners are down for videos. I will also pimp this across facebook, my JV group, twitter, etc. It'll be a lot of work on my end if...- DennisD

ForeverJobless Podcast
HOT!I like your intro much better after "getting" what was going on. You say exactly what it is "private conversations between successful entrepreneurs". I think one major problem I had was the phrase "printing money". It sounds too "buzz" and turned me off. I feel there might be a way to better...- DennisD

ForeverJobless Podcast
HOT!I understand your mission statement a bit more, after what you and Neville said at the end of the one released today. Two years agowhen I was doing landscaping work for a golf course, I'd spend the whole day with headphones in. I was listening to business podcasts for 8 hours a day, and I had a...- DennisD

What are your thoughts on a person creating an online store with no knowledge of coding/programming?
WEB/DIGITALThere's an underlying problem: You don't feel qualified because you're not technical. You will NEVER know everything, even if you spent years becoming an expert. You will STILL run into new problems. Your desire to learn code is linked to your desire to become qualified before you start. It's...- DennisD

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)
HOT!It IS. I'm annoyed at myself I feel like a little F*ckin kid with the excuses. Facts: I made some bad business decisions. I could have done more to secure the deals There's a lot in front of me I can do right/wrong now. I'm still learning. I don't want to deny responsibility, but at the same...- DennisD

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)
HOT!I love the way Rockefeller handled that deal! I did get them to agree on 7K up front, In my case, time was the limitation. There was a fashion show at the end of the week and their previous video guy bailed on them. They needed 10 videos in 7 days. This means me completing 1.5 video every day...- DennisD

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)
HOT!The reason renting is a problem is because even the schools nearby don't have the hardware or software I need. When I went to a broadcast school I eventually had to buy my own, because theirs didn't do a good enough job. I'm not sure of the rules, but I'm unsure if they let me spent 170hrs/week...- DennisD

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)
HOT!You know what? You're totally right. I'm going to take another look through some refurbished stuff. I'm turning down gigs left and right, I can't afford to be doing that. I don't need to buy the machine I'll be editing on for the rest of my life, just something good enough to keep making me...- DennisD

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)
HOT!Rep$+ for the ideas. I understand the thought process. That would work in many cases. I'll spare you the details, for these particular projects it was a no-go. I'm sure there were many ways it work, I made a ton of mistakes in negotiation all around. The end result was: I couldn't make it work...- DennisD

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)
HOT!For my line of work, I need at least 32/64gb ram, GTX780/QuadroK400, Xeon8core, among other stuff. I know it seems like a lot, but even a powerful machine chugs with some of the renders I have to do. Typically a client will want 4-6 revisions on a video.. so I aim to optimize turnaround time on...- DennisD

Another source of income within kindle ebooks - affiliate links?
PUBLISHINGBooks as a way to promote affiliate products is an extremely short term plan. It's better to get them on an email list autoresponder first. You can sell them affiliate products, sure... but even BETTER: The transition to your own products would be seamless.- DennisD

Why I'm BLEEDING money (and what I could have done to prevent it)
HOT!In the past month I've been offered over $30K in video gigs and I had to turn every single one of them down. Why? Because in October, I had the opportunity to invest a few thousand in my business and chose the wrong area. Now I'm losing money faster than I can make it. Let me explain. I do...- DennisD
