    A job that beats my business

    SLOWLANE 
    I worked offshore in the Gulf of Mexico in the 80’s and it was a great gig. You’ve stated you’re single, and that’s good - it can be hard on families. Be prepared for the events that will lead burn out - it took me 3 1/2 years of hurricanes, helicopter mishaps, blowouts, and seeing friends...

    Chinese Knock-Off competition????

    EXECUTION FEEDBACK QUESTION 
    I would recommend you take a strong look at both your IP and non-IP moats. IP Moats: From your original post, it appears that you currently have no intellectual property protection whatsoever – is that the case? No utility patent, no PPA, no trademark, no copyright on any of your content? While...

I‘ve set up a couple of gpt’s to assist in research and technical writing, but still feel like I’ve only scratched the surface. Outside of business, I’m slowly integrating chatgpt into my daily processes - from...

    Hunting Whales: Is there An Ethical Way To Do This?

    NOTABLE! HOT! MARKETING 
    This is a thought-provoking thread and it’s good to see varying opinions. Defining your own view of “ethics” goes hand in hand with defining the “value” you’re providing. If a product has destructive tendencies (real or perceived) does that affect the value, or is value strictly determined by...

    If you don’t gain any traction on FLF you might try Steven Selikoff. He’s a China sourcing guru and should have some good connections. He’s easy to find and usually very approachable and helpful. You‘d also do well to start making pertinent connections on LI.

    My process thread

    IDEA 
    There’s no such thing as a “global patent” (many entities will try to get you to believe that there is, however, to stop you in your tracks). Filing with the World International Patent Organization (WIPO) will streamline filing with over 150 countries, but each country must still be filed with...

    Finally have our MVP: now what???? Help please

    MARKETING 
    First, congrats on the bootstrapping! It’s incredible how much is learned in the trenches. And I have a question: It’s my understanding that Australia’s TGA‘s wide and deep net is similar to the FDA’s. Are you advertising your product as a cosmetic/beauty product and not claiming therapeutic...

    Really stressed and stuck please help me

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Figure out where the leverage is - songwriting, or maybe a schtick. Wierd Al’s voice was awful at the beginning, but he used he used humor to gain notoriety. He took voice lessons to improve and did more serious stuff (but he’s still remembered for the comedy bits). Or maybe a catchy tune and...

    Without a doubt (haven’t we all??), and there are definitely plenty of those who have learned that in today’s world whiner’s get medals for participation, and they use every ”feeling” they have as an excuse. But none of this has anything to do with those who are truly struggling with very real...

    The line is long but I don’t mind being first! Honestly, though, I don’t dislike you - I too was brash when I was your age. And I have a ton of respect for your level of business acumen that I will never possess. I just think you haven’t experienced enough life yet to be so outspoken and...

    Management issues

    From someone who owned a consulting business for a couple of decades, THIS is your problem. Sounds like everyone wants to go to lunch and play golf, and nobody wants to WORK. You may be able to hire a manager with the sense of agency needed to right the ship (and easily pay them by getting rid...

    Getting revenge on a scam company

    ASSERTION 
    Seriously? Scammers are rife on Alibaba; even if you got Jackie Chan to push the Great Wall over on them, there are hundreds of others lined up waiting to fleece folks who don’t do due diligence, so you’ve provided value to no one. Turn your anger inward and vow that going forward you will work...

    In the US Civil War, Confederate General Nathan Bedford Forrest described his consistent winning strategy as, “Get there fustest with the mostest”.
