    Best Whiskey you've ever had

    OFF-TOPIC 
    A second fermenter would run you like $30. Well worth it if you plan to age anything (and yeah, boozy beers require age to smooth out that "hot alcohol" flavor). Also - while I somewhat see the value of having a secondary fermenter for aged beers, I'd suggest you consider dropping it entirely...

    Is It Challenging To Get Your Kids To Read Important Books?

    Totally stealing that idea. Not going to lie - a bit upset I didn't think of it myself!

    Is It Challenging To Get Your Kids To Read Important Books?

    Depends what you mean by "kids". At a young age, it's more important to get them excited about reading anything than is to get them to read something you want them to. You want them to look at books as a positive, uplifting, entertaining "thing" in their life. We also bring our kids to book...

    For what it's worth - upwork tends to be a far "higher quality" marketplace for the kinds of jobs you're describing. Fiverr is basically a race to the bottom. There's good in there, don't get me wrong, but it's a discount marketplace by and large. Upwork, by comparison, has tons of real...

    Best Whiskey you've ever had

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I don't see why they wouldn't - the beer community (which I was huge into a few years back) loves the things. Check out - French + Oak Infusion Spirals | Wine Making While I've never used them, I've heard good things. They make spirals of wood at various char levels. The spiral shape...

    What's worse is that it isn't even required - many experienced security experts blast airport security measures as little more than "security theater", which wikipedia defines as: "the practice of investing in countermeasures intended to provide the feeling of improved security while doing...

    The Ultimate Guide On What Courses To Take

    Courses are great ways to waste a lot of money and time for no reason. Start a business you can afford and solve one problem after the other - best education there is. If you were to take a course for each of those subjects that dived "sufficiently" into all of those subjects you'd basically...

    Anyone else pissed?

    MINDSET 
    That's hilarious. You turned 18 only 5 years ago. Both of my kids are older than you've been a legal adult for! I quit my job to be a full time entrepreneur 5 years ago (after 10+ years in sales!) I didn't even move out of my parent's house until I was 23. I didn't start my first business...

    Chronic Back Pain

    HEALTH 
    While this isn't a back issue, I did suffer from what I thought was a hamstring issue for a year (2018, to be exact). I went to some physio clinic near my doctor and some young (too young) looking asian girls asked me almost zero questions, hooked me up to machines and zapped me and lasered me...

    What are some indicators that you are ready to quit your 9-5 job?

    MINDSET 
    The only guaranteed green light is owning a business that produces enough profit that BOTH fully supports it's own continued growth AND provides a salary for the owner (you). I quit my job when I had a successful business. It killed the business because I had to live on the profits and had...

    Kill Bigger Incubator

    MARKETPLACE 
    I'll echo others and endorse KAK as the real deal. I've shared a few rooms with him at prior meetups and he's nothing short of one of the most impressive whirlwind forces I've ever met. It's been said a million times about him on the forum in other threads but anyone who knows him should not...

    Doing $75,000 USD Per WEEK (Service Business)

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION 
    Bad salespeople do this, not good ones. Good ones know the fastest way to put yourself out of business is to lie/cheat/steal from your customers. I've never in my life seen someone I would consider a "great" salesperson force-feed their pipeline with shitty clients. It's like purposefully...

    How many Business Failures did you have before success?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Depending on how you count - I'm up to 4 or 5. The quickest thing a new entrepreneur should learn to help avoid mistakes (IMHO) is understanding their costs - fully and completely. It's (relatively) easy to build up impressive looking revenue numbers - $100k in year 1 is not even remotely...

    $1B+ Powerball Jackpot - Did You Buy Your Ticket?

    FUNNY 
    You're not looking very hard then. Poor people may statistically be the biggest lottery spenders (and the most obvious to spot in a line) but anyone who feels they don't have "enough" in life is a prime suspect for a lottery spending. And we all know how many folks fit that description. Even...

    $1B+ Powerball Jackpot - Did You Buy Your Ticket?

    FUNNY 
    Canadian here - so no powerball for us. We usually like getting our friends together and buying into a few tickets when the local lottery hits various "huge" amounts. It's fun and something we all just rarely do (I don't think any of us buy tickets regularly, so it becomes an "event"). We then...

    depressing short animation

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Looks like it's trying to be overly deep while just saying that everyone is living for someone else's benefit. The wife and kids are living for the benefit of the working husband, the "bus drivers" are living for the benefit of the passengers, the doormen are living for the benefit of the...

    Dear older newbies...

    As a 35 year old still trying to make things work myself - I WISH I was 28 again. I didn't even start my first business until I was 30 - 31. Would love to have an extra 2-3 years under my belt at this point :)

    Hello

    INTRO 
    Don't think there's a lot of folks in that field on this forum (some investors in stocks though) but you're welcome to stay and join in all the business discussion going on regardless. Do you have a business in medical marijuana right now? What are your plans? What stage are you in?
