    From Fired to Cold Calling

    EXECUTION 
    Congratulations Alex on finding a new gig right away. Even if it's pure commission only, it's not micromanaged by a meanie. And it's in a field that's interesting and useful to you. This sounds so much happier for you. I last did cold calls for a company many, many years ago. I've thought...

    Tired of living in Brazil. How can I (should I?) move my entire company elsewhere?

    How many of those countries have you visited? One thing you didn't mention, is legal hurdles. The EU overall, and then each of the other nations, have their own laws and procedures for immigration. If you will be there more than a short amount of time, as more than a tourist, then you'll need...

    Starting a Copywriting Freelance Business. How well do I sell myself?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Wow, this is awful. If this is the competition, I feel so much better about my own copywriting ambitions. Line by line, I'll feed this sales letter into the shredder: The headline is dope, it's rad, it's bitchin, it's really sick, you be illin' yer two bucks back. I hope a bucket is...

    I've been a loser now I MUST find a solution! Any advice?

    It seems that you're still looking for outside validation and approval of whatever you might decide. People on the forum can provide advice and perspectives, but each opinion is just one person's point of view. It might be worth building your life around, it might worth throwing away. Either...

    Hi Hassan. Nice CV overall. You don't mention what city you're in. You don't need your full mailing address. But it would be nice to know where you are located, at least by city. The only real challenge I see is the third-person summary at the top. I think it can be made simpler and...

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks a lot Joaquim. Most of your notes make perfect sense, but I do have a few things I wonder about. I wouldn't agree with him that all of these are learned, that none of them are innate in personality, if that's what he meant. But that theoretical psychology point really doesn't matter...

    Hi Dis (I didn't see your actual name?). I've also used the Oracle RDBMS and PL/SQL in corporate development jobs. There are at least a few more database geeks on the forum. I took a quick look at your previous posts and it looks like you've tried several things in business. Congratulations...

    SHELTON, THIS COULD BE A DAY THAT TOTALLY CHANGES THE COURSE OF YOUR LIFE FOREVER, FOR THE GOOD. I am NOT exaggerating. Or, a could be a day in which a path towards mediocrity, leading towards failure, is established for a lifetime. I'm not exaggerating about that, either. An idea was put...

    Selling at soccer match. Which product do you recommend?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I misread it, I thought it was "Yelling at soccer match." I'd recommend a megaphone :eek: Do you need a vendor license so the stadium won't kick you out? Do you need a food license so the health department won't kick you out? Do you need a business license so the city or county won't seize your...

    I wrote job descriptions, reviewed resumes, and conducted interviews in the corporate world. I don't have any job connections now but I can offer some useful advice. I took a guess at some more information that could go in your resume, and I show a more standard resume format. There is no...

    The true Darwin award winners

    OFF-TOPIC 
    According to Dawkins, evolution doesn't care if your ideas are any good, only if you can get other people to think them too. The original post is a random recombination of memes, so that the forum database will grow into another generation of posts. I hope this doesn't mean that a hundred...

    Looking forward to your notes! It does slow you down, but it makes you think more carefully about what you read, and save your ideas for use in the future. That puts the material much more deeply into your mind.

    Set up the landing page before or after further testing the idea?

    That sounds excellent. I think this is as far ahead as you can plan before you have the conversations with the buyers. As you learn from them, you'll improve and adjust the plan based on what you discover.
