    The power of owning what you do.

    The latter, at least from a practical perspective.

    The power of owning what you do.

    MINDSET 
    The main point is fantastic. But they wandered off into the bushes and lost me. Ownership is critical because of how it impacts behavior. When something is "yours" you take care of it. You take pride in it. If there's a problem you are highly motivated to figure it out. I know this thread is...

    University /IS/ dogma...

    SLOWLANE 
    Remember in karate kid, where the kid has to do all these chores in a specific way, and he thinks it's a waste of time, only to later see that he actually was learning something useful? You're a kid who doesn't understand what he's learning, much less the value. The arrogance is overwhelming...

    New millionaire class… trade empires.

    CHAT 
    Most people who get into trades aren't leaders, and even less have good business acumen. There's opportunity in this area. I cringed at the "private equity is pouring money into skilled-trade small business" headline. There's no shortage of examples of private equity screwing up small local...

    Finding local businesses for sale

    QUESTION 
    Maybe, maybe not, depending on exactly what you're doing and your customers. There are a lot of industry needs where chemE knowledge is beneficial without requiring a P.E. license. A while back a guy on here posted about a specialty chemicals for the wood products industry that he used to be...

    Listening now, and it's fantastic so far. Love her takedown of how inaccurate the "database of local businesses" are.

    Finding local businesses for sale

    QUESTION 
    I did, and posted about it. Bought a business that I never would consider looking at when I first started searching. Your post reminds me of someone looking to buy their first used car on a small budget, asking what year/make/model they should get. What really matters are the individual options...

    Pizzeria: First million is hard, the second Million is easier...

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    only thing missing is a few middle-aged Italians scoping out the tourists that wandered in to the exclusively-locals restaurant Which is cool if you want to provide stereotypical pizza. But it sounds like you're looking to put a significant "twist" on the product, so super-stereotypical decor...

    Yeah those articles are dumb. May as well say the same thing at a casino after each round. "If you had placed $1000 on #12 60 seconds ago you'd have $35,000 right now!" Thanks boss, super helpful.

    Both parties are completely irresponsible fiscally. Democrats increase spending = more debt. Republicans reduce taxes = more debt. Fiscally, they're both terrible. The big difference is on the supply side. Repubs are MUCH better at encouraging business, which increases both wealth and tax...
