    Dubidu's Execution....Thread :-)

    EXECUTION 
    Very brief update: 1. Idea 1 (Friday's licensing meeting now rescheduled to Wednesday - the guy couldn't make it) so update is basically "pfft"! :smile2: 2. Idea 2 (I'm thinking about changing my approach: initially it was to 'build' a new material that will enable the product to be better but...

    12 Outrageous Rich Kid Instagram Accounts You Need To Follow [IceCreamKid]

    SOCIAL MEDIA OFF-TOPIC 
    Yep - I work in that milieu and unless you're extremely blessed/lucky (whatever your spiritual vibe is) you'd be alarmed at the stories of youngsters who have everything/know the value of nothing/divorces/addictions. Just look at the Tetra Pak family bio for the perfect example of money per se...

    EXECUTION 
    Nice to see a fellow Englander on the Forum! It's not that I don't understand or that it doesn't make sense to me - it was more about protecting the IP and taking a legal/protective stance before approaching a company. I'm comfortable with my market analysis based on sales of existing...

    EXECUTION 
    Hello everyone! Hope you're all enjoying the tail end of summer :-) Quick update: 1. Approached company and just had constructive meeting - having learnt from company number 1 and their initial proposal I was much clearer on what I wanted from them. Two proposals: one based on a rough...

    Am I REALLY about to do THIS??..

    EXECUTION 
    Agree @lowtek . Can @DakineBMH not follow this line instead? Bit of hustle required but worth a shot given the "why" of the little munchkin providing long term motivation :-) GOLD! - No network? No money? No idea? No education? NO PROBLEM!

    Thank you so much FNA (if I may be so bold as to abbreviate your name :-)). This to me represents the best of this Forum - helping each other and showing heart whilst we're at it; I'm really grateful for your kind words - they mean a lot. I am in two minds - part of me thinks I should press...

    I’ve studied Psychology, Neuroscience and Human Behavior for 10+ Years. AMA.

    HOT! 
    I'd ask the same for the masculine soul "what does a man want?" I'd also ask how do idiots and truly sociopathic people (when the sociopathy is patently obvious to everyone) get ahead in the corporate world? I can provide a whole collection of samples around me for study!

    Hi MT - thank you! Sorry if I wasn't clear but this is the timeline: 1. Approached the guy I worked with on 'failed' idea last year to see if he knew CAD file designer (company 1). Guy wants to charge me approx $13,000(!!!) to produce file for a very simple 3 component/no tech/no electronic...

    Dubidu's Execution....Thread :-)

    EXECUTION 
    Amazing: I drafted a robust NDA (protecting both parties) and the company who apparently has their own General Counsel (who presumably specialises in this stuff, unlike me), changed my 3 year clause to 3 months!!! They sent me their 'mutual NDA' and in there is a clause with non-compete (i.e...

    EXECUTION 
    I'm learning a lot! I learnt the first guy was not particularly professional and took offence when I said I didn't think we were a good fit and I'd be asking for other companies for quotes (a lesson by him in how not to do customer service!). The other two companies are considering my NDA (one...

    MARKETPLACE 
    Thanks for the comprehensive reply; I really appreciate it - I've already done quite a lot of the deep work you refer to (I wasn't joking when I say I did a wholesale review of "me"). I've reached certain level of acceptance because I've given it my all and feel I've failed (not on business -...

    MARKETPLACE 
    Thank you for the congrats - trust me it was not easy in any way. It's not the money that's the problem but I really did go on a inside out/upside down/bottom up whole sale review of myself in a "just tell me what on earth I'm doing wrong and I'll fix it today" so taking "100% responsibility for...

    Does the music you listen to affect your enteripenural efforts?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    There's some (possibly pseudo)-scientific research saying that Baroque music is meant to be good for creative ideas/studying/working. I happen to like it so have that playing on a loop when I'm working. Can't say massive inspiration has struck yet!

    [The Path] Advanced Coaching for Entrepreneurs

    MARKETPLACE 
    Interesting stuff - there's a real split on this Forum between those who think coaching/mentoring is unnecessary and those who think it's worth the money/investment (provided you take action)... From my perspective I take every action I can think of (highly self-motivated etc.) but I appear not...

    Hi everyone, Today is a bit of mini 'feelings' update as well as what has happened since Weds; hopefully no one will mind. I have felt low for the last couple of days - no reason but just feeling like it's a bit of a slog and feeling like a failure in my personal life (discussed on another...

    Hi Everyone - a day late and hopefully not a dollar short :smile2:. My update and request for advice/thoughts please: CAD file designer has got my brief wrong. Lessons learned: be explicit and in writing. He wants to do more than I think is required (and therefore charge me more to produce...

    Fiance is calling my business "his/our" business, threatening to sue me

    HOT! 
    I find this advice questionable even allowing for the differences in legal systems. There appears to be no formal contract, you asked him for help and he basically said no (so there is no oral/verbal contract/agreement either on which he could rely and there is minimal circumstantial evidence of...
