    Burnout Cycle

    MINDSET 
    Burnouts happen, especially when you're pushing so hard. It's why most people fail in the fastlane. They try to put on afterburners for years and it just can't work. You have to take a break. Speaking from personal experience. When I was working on my business and it was just myself and my...

    Please, I need help to turn around a failing business

    It might seem counter intuitive, but have you thought about doing a coupon? The idea behind it is to get people into the store, they should like what's in it but they don't have a reason to check it out. - free bracelet with purchase of $15.99 or more - $10 off anything! You get the idea...

    "I'm too good for that..."

    You have to dig the ditches before you can fill them with your wealth. All successful people have done menial jobs and learned to not say "I'm too good for this" If you're too good for something, prove it! You only know something to the extent that you actually do it, not to the extent you...

    Might Be Thrown Out Of The House

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Firstly, they opened your mail, which they shouldn't be doing (and a federal offense if you want to go there). Secondly, it's your account, don't let them take you to the bank, it's your business, you're a big boy. Put on your big boy pants and explain what's what, if they don't like it, leave...

    I am completely lost

    I'm glad you took a definitive step not many people do that. So congrats on doing something! However, as others have stated quitting that job may have not made perfect sense especially without any other plans. The burn your ships ideal works wonders when you have an objective to hit. But in my...

    Omerta's progress thread

    EXECUTION 
    As unfortunate as it is to say, if he can't practice the self control it takes to stop looking at a forum I don't have high hopes for his progress.

    What do you think of this flyer I've come up with?

    MARKETING 
    I'm feeling creative and it's my night to relax from a long and successful week so I wanted to share one idea I had, maybe it'll spark something for you. I'm sure it's not the best out there by a long shot, but if you use it, I expect my royalty check in the mail ;)

    What do you think of this flyer I've come up with?

    MARKETING 
    There's a lot of things that need editing, as others have mentioned. I would suggest throw out the color red that you're using. Red normally causes alarm, puts people on guard, and even induces hunger. I'm not an expert I've just read up on certain advertising techniques. bonus tip: red only...

    Which do you prefer and why? Large Pond or Small Pond?

    As other people have said it all depends. A large pond with competition is wonderful and plus even if you just gain 1%-3% of the market share in a 42 Billion dollar market, that's amazing! In a small pond you have a larger chance of gaining more market share but if the market is only 500 Million...

    Is this a red flag?

    Get a non-compete and non-disclosure signed by him and break ties. Just my two cents.

    Building a Relationship with a Mentor

    PEOPLE 
    A little flattery (honest of course) will get you a little time with your preferred mentor. But adding value to them will incline them to add value to you. Wealthy and successful people always have people wanting to "take" something from them. When you ask for nothing but advice/time during and...

    Self Publishing a Kindle Book & then finding a publisher

    PUBLISHING 
    Finding a publisher can be hard work, I'm not speaking from personal experience yet but from reading biographies of other authors. Andy Andrews, a favorite of mine, self published his first book (when there was no ebook) by spending enough to get 25,000 copies made, he sold them, handed them...

    How has pursuing your dreams affected your relationships with people?

    PEOPLE 
    Great post and great question! I'm glad you're looking at this angle and I'll be honest with you, I'm amazed every time I look back to just a year prior to the changes in my life, I'm sure you feel the same. As far as relationships go I'll agree with everyone on the idea that it eliminates some...

    The Finality Of Life

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm sorry to hear about your mentor Vigilante, your post causes many including myself to reflect on ourselves and our mentors. I'm sure you'll be fortunate enough to be in his position mentoring to someone that is currently where you were at some point. Overall when it comes to life ending I...

    Dirty little secret's about any industry

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Does any one else here smell a business opportunity? I don't have time or the interest currently to pursue it so I'll throw out a free idea and if someone wants to make it work then great! The bookstores throwing out books are losing the money they spent on said books, the publisher doesn't...

    Assumptions are the key to the sidewalk, eradicate them

    So basically to sum up your post you're saying: Plan Everything. I totally agree, nothing can be accomplished by happenstance, ever. As far as the food situation I'll take a friendly opposition, you can go without food! For quite sometime. Each year I undertake at least a 7 day fast for...

    Seeking the first sale/ many questions

    MARKETING 
    Just a few pieces of advice from my limited experience in this field. I'm sure others can credit or discredit my advice. 1) pay for reviews on Fivver, Video reviews are always a plus! 1a) pay for traffic as well, it will up your Alexa rating 2) now or later, hire someone to build a better...

    YOUR FAILURES and the LOWS before success!

    MINDSET FAILURE 
    I love AmyQs story. It's short simple and has all the makings of what it takes to be successful that most people ignore, aka the hard times. I'm still pursuing my goals and achievements.....but that's because I keep moving the damn things higher! To make a long story short. When I started in...

    How to ask for your share of the pie in a startup?

    First I would suggest reading Vigilantes post, while it's a point that should be obvious many people can and do over look it, I appreciate him pointing that out. Firstly, take a breath and relax. I realize you're upset perhaps even angry. It's not my intention to hurt your feelings or to...
