    GOLD! IDEA 
    Pretty spot on with my own analysis of my business. Time separation is my biggest problem, but I also play in a very traditional market where I’m going to need to build a large company that will require hands on leadership and work. Awesome tool @MJ DeMarco !

    Impossible and Beyond’s goal isn’t making veggie burgers for vegans. It’s making a more sustainable alternative to meat, for meat eaters. It’s no secret that beef agriculture is literally destroying our planet, by being one of the highest green house gas emitters. You can use less land and...

    Got an offer to sell Precious stones. Should I take it?

    I know absolutely nothing about the gem market. But what I do know, is it’s a very complex, very controlled, and very “good old boys” system. As @Azure mentioned, it’s an industry where it’s very easy to get scammed or in over your head. Definitely take it slow.

    UPSCALE: What do you think of my invention?

    HOT! 
    Is “Made in the USA” something that’s important to people with small bathrooms who weigh themselves..? I’d venture a guess that it’s probably not. Why not explore making this in China for pennies on the dollar? I’m sure some of the importers on the forum can weigh in, but I can’t imagine...

    I can’t remember who posted this either last Saturday or the one before, the thread was gone before I got the chance to respond.. Someone posted that they write blog articles as a ghost writer. I’m going to need to services of a ghost writer soon to crank out some blog content, preferably...

    Freeze the filling into little pucks. Put it between the sheets. The frying process will melt it to the correct consistency.

    This depends honestly.. Is this something you could make at home, or a commercial kitchen? Or is this something that needs to be made by a professional facility? For example, my products need industrial grade emulsification, its not something I can just whip up in my kitchen. Do your products...

    My products don’t use preservatives. And a lot don’t. It really depends on what you’re making. Lots of sauces or liquid products are hot filled and preserved that way, think a jar of spaghetti sauce. My products, salad dressings, are what’s called acidified Foods. The pH level of the products...

    Monthly Recurring Costs/Expenses In Order to Start Web-Online Business

    HOT! 
    One thing I've learned is that software/app expenses are death by 1000 papercuts. You add one app/plugin here, get one marketing service there, before you know it you're running your books and notice you're dropping $400/mo on useless crap. Its really hard to give you a definitive list of...

    @AgainstAllOdds thank you for writing this and putting it out there on the forum. I touched on it briefly in my thread The Desert of Desertion is real... and I'm in it. But the Desert of Desertion can quickly turn into straight depression. And honestly, I'm there. We all know that finances...

    I'm not really sure why the mega corp he previously worked for called his position marketing. It wasn't really marketing at all. Brand Manager was a much more suitable term for the position. Most of his skills lay in brand strategy, efficiency, and margins, not the actual marketing/advertising...

    VC funding is not the first step for us. We're going to do an Angel round first, seeking out strategic investors. Eventually, yes we will go the VC route, but that wont be until Series A or B. And at that point, we'll be able to afford a nice M&A attorney and consultant to keep us from losing...
