    B2B with long sales cycle

    Need more information. What's the compensation structure like? Are you taking over a book of business or starting fresh? Where do leads come from? Is the product genuinely valuable? What's the sales support team like? Do you have autonomy as a valuable sales person or are the equivalent of a...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    Not necessarily - It's just a conversation that needs to be had, that's all. I wouldn't send anything blind or make demands or anything like that. Get on the phone with your contact, tell him your situation (that you simply can't keep working for free on a hope to close and that you feel...

    Can I Get Some Advice on Enterprise Presales?

    There's your solution. Tell them you'll develop the required feature if they commit to launch. "This feature makes a lot of sense for me to work on if you can commit to launch, but it's not something I can justify spending the time on without a commitment. How about we get the launch locked...

    It's time for a "fast food" revolution

    HOT! 
    I'd argue people lack effort more than time these days. Everyone I interact with who says they don't have the time to do something really means it's too much work and they just "don't wanna". Examples: - "I don't have time to cook, I get home too late" (watches 5 hours of tv before bed) - "I...

    I really don't understand. (People want it FREE!)

    HOT! 
    Yup. That sounds like people. In all seriousness it could be a million things. Maybe you are charging too little (folks willing to pay for $2k services are very, very different from folks who are looking for $100 services). Maybe the value proposition isn't very well established. Maybe you...

    HOT! 
    I disagree. I know plenty of really well off entrepreneurs from this forum who have been to and swear by various high quality events, seminars, meet-ups, etc... At their core they are highly valuable networking events with very high quality panel discussions. Hell - I got my start in...

    Here's 19 pages about Tai Lopez, from members on this forum: Notable! - WTF does Tai Lopez do? The longer you spend in the entrepreneurial community the better feeling you get about all this stuff. You also start to recognize names, hear about reputation, start seeing referrals, start seeing...

    Can i copy an idea that will be on Kickstarter but not yet on the market ?

    HOT! IDEA 
    I'd caution against this. In too many cases the only difference between "inspiration" and "stealing" is whether you're talking to the person who was "inspired" or the person who was "stolen" from. Inspiration should come from your experiences and where you think you can add value. From those...

    Can i copy an idea that will be on Kickstarter but not yet on the market ?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Is this an existing product in the market or this entrepreneur's new idea? If it's their new idea - just leave it alone and move on man. It's beyond douchey to try and be a first mover on an idea that you stole from someone else. There's no "grey area" about it - it's deplorable. Also - are...

    Don't undervalue exercise

    The biggest problem I faced was that I had no idea what I was doing and the fear of making an idiot out of myself in public at the gym. These two "little things" kept me away from gyms until I hit 33 years old. Here's how I overcame these two issues: 1. I found out about a really cool app...

    How to not get screwed in signing an LLC.

    If you do a title-only search, you get zero results. I'm assuming this is a bug (maybe it has a 4+ character requirement on title searches?) If you do a search for "llc" without the title checkmark, you get 48 pages of 20 results per page for about 1,000 results:

    Hello, I'm Neil, and my head is swimming

    INTRO 
    I could see a hypnotherapy app doing well. Make a free version that is highly useful in it's free version but have a ton of "I want that" stuff behind a paywall. Maybe the free version is "generic improvement" but the paid version offers stop-smoking specific stuff, or stop-drinking, or...

    How to lose a long term client in a matter of moments...

    EXECUTION 
    As a customer I won't even let my kids scream at establishments. I'll give them about 30 seconds to calm down and if they don't I pick them up and bring them outside where they can finish their tantrum without bothering anyone. If I was the owner of the establishment, that time period...

    Finally Launched!

    EXECUTION 
    I agree. It looks like the female version of oil-slick patterns you see all the time on knives and other "guy" products. Super nice looking hero image when you first land on the site. I'd personally like to see all products displayed on a model as either the primary or secondary "hover over"...

    How do you folks survive the "Arid Desert of Desertation"?

    Having a goal, trusting it, and sticking with it. I've been there many times. Things don't seem to be moving. I question if I'm doing the right thing. Nobody is providing positive feedback. Questioning everything I do. Contemplate quitting. It happens. But if you have a goal that you trust...
