    Efficiency of Speedreading

    BOOKS 
    Hi guys, Just a quick opinion-check. I regularly come across authors who brag about their ability to read 300 pages of business-related books in 4-5 hours and digest most of the stuff they read about. Not to mention our legendary Thai Lopez who probably finishes a 500 page book on Quantum...

    Pay to Get a Job?

    From what he told me, it's very similar to a recruitment agency, just a reversed model. A model that charges for services that helped a guy secure a desired job position and doesn't charge anything up-front and allows guy to work for 4 weeks to get some taste of the company and the role, before...

    Pay to Get a Job?

    He's not running it from the UK. I did not analyze law regulations in detail, but what he does is different from an ordinary recruitment service. It's more kind of job-seeker consultancy services instead. He just started few months ago, no website as per now. From my understanding he's trying to...

    Pay to Get a Job?

    He covers all industries, not just deli workers. I used Deli Assistant as an example. Also, he charges ONLY single week's salary - which must be paid ONLY in a fourth employment week. In addition, if the guy who got the job decides to leave the company until the payment is due he's not liable...

    Pay to Get a Job?

    As I mentioned, it's not my business. I run a services business, but completely different to this. As stated above, the guy only needs to pay in his fourth employment week. Which means he will get paid for each week for three weeks in a row, before paying the company for getting the job. If he...

    Pay to Get a Job?

    Hi guys, A friend of mine is running a business that helps job-seekers get their desired jobs. To me personally it seemed like an interesting concept and decided to share it here with you to see what others think of it. I am not going to go too much into detail, but what he does is this...

    Help Us Build a School in Ethiopia

    MARKETPLACE 
    I remember one Friday evening at like 9pm one of the girls from Amnesty knocked my door. It was heavily raining, very cold and windy evening and she was still walking door-to-door collecting money for a cause she believed in. It angers me to guts that fat c*s sitting in an office spend most of...

    Helping Disadvantaged

    Great point. This is what I was talking about - helping people help others by providing a direct way of donating what's necessary.

    Helping Disadvantaged

    Hey guys, This is the idea I had sometime ago, but started different project now. Anyways, I would be glad to hear your thoughts on the idea I had previously: I was thinking about the website where disadvantaged people could put small bios of their lives and what items would improve their...

    How much is paid in customs for importing clothing into the US?

    SOURCING 
    Unless you make some REALLY attractive twist to your t-shirt idea, I think it's a lost cause. The idea itself is fine it's just that the market is too saturated and the noise is too high already, nobody's going to hear your squeaking in the market place. However...if you come-up with something...

    Should You Share Your Business Idea?

    IDEA 
    Hi guys! Do you believe in an opinion that one should keep innovative business idea in secret in order to prevent someone from stealing it? I know there are arguments which state that business idea is worthless without proper execution. Others state that no matter what you have come up with...

    I got heaps of answers for you

    INTRO 
    IMO you could have gotten much farther by politely introducing yourself and simply posting some relevant content that represents value. Honestly, I think we should all go back to what we're doing best - building businesses and stop feeding this thread.

    How to Get Rid of Negative Friends

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    IMO we all have different definitions of what negative friends mean to us. My understanding is that any 'friend' who posses a negative mindset is a toxic and must be avoided, just my 2c.

    Can you guys take a look at my carpet cleaning website?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    It might be that my brain cells are already sleeping, but your value propositions aren't standing out properly to me. Instead of highlighting features of your service, concentrate on highlighting value your service offers. Remember: most people are too lazy to figure out what is the value...

    How to Get Rid of Negative Friends

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Great input, guys. I think we all have different definitions of what 'negative people' mean to us, but we all agree that negative people produce negative effects. As Andy mentioned, be too busy working on yourself to even stop for a minute and contemplate about negative people and their limited...

    Hi, Pieter. Congratulations on selling your first business and having such ambitious goals for your future. I just want to quickly welcome you to our community with the hope of others jumping in on the way (it's weird that your introduction got somewhat ignored)! Anyways, keep your head high...
