    Chick fil a and Amazon. WHY?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Loyalty. Customers spend more and promote businesses that they are loyal to. If people agree with the opinions of a business, it will make them loyal. Does this drive away some customers? Yes. Does it matter? Not really. Look at Chick Fil A on Wednesday, every single one in the country was...

    Would you consider this MLM? I know, it's like cursing around here, lol

    If you are looking for an MLM model, look at how Pampered Chef does it. Personally, I think you just need to start out buying some of these products wholesale & trying to sell them. As you go, you'll figure out what customers really want & what the best way to scale it is. There are lots of...

    Swipe credit card at a store, expect to pay more

    EXECUTION 
    As a retailer, I can promise you that smart retailers will not be doing away with accepting credit cards nor charging higher prices for using them. Yes, the fees suck. But, people who use a credit card spend substantially more than people who pay with cash. Credit card fees are ~3%, which is far...

    Anyone from HOUSTON here?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My Dad lives there. He used to live in Katy then Friendswood and now lives in Kemah. If you want to be on/near the water it's tough to beat the Kemah area.

    Intermittent fasting

    HOT! 
    I have no problem working out in a fasted state, and I do believe it burns additional calories. However, be careful if you take any pre-workout supplement as taking it on an empty stomach will often increase the effects. I found 16/8 fasting to be 'easy' but had issues with how/what I ate...

    Intermittent fasting

    HOT! 
    I don't believe frequent 16 hour fasts provide as good of health benefits as a less frequent 36 hour fast, and health (not purely weight loss) is my primary goal. Yes, I did over-eat with 16 hour fasts which spiked my glucose/insulin levels putting my body into fat storage mode. Are there...

    Intermittent fasting

    HOT! 
    I personally found negative effects to the 16-8 fasting schedule. I actually put on weight because I would over-eat in my feeding period and by trying to cram eating into too small a time table I was overly spiking my glucose levels. Obviously some people have success with it, but my guess is it...

    Intermittent fasting

    HOT! 
    There are LOTS of different forms of fasting with varying lengths/timing, etc. Personally, I follow a healthy slow carb diet with a cheat day each week (from the 4 Hour Body), and follow my cheat day with a full 36 hour fast. So if I cheat on Saturday, I fast from Saturday night till breakfast...

    How did YOU find "Fastlane"?

    HOT! 
    The Millionaire Fastlane was recommended to me by Amazon based on my history of buying Entrepreneurship books. I thought it looked interesting (but scammy), so I put it on my wish list and never thought about it again - until I saw a random review somewhere online that said it was really good...

    The biggest causes of In-Action?

    MINDSET 
    FYI, here's a Tony Robbins video where he talks about this around the 13 minute mark. Mr. Robbins says that 'Certainty' and being a 'Must' are what seperates people who achieve from those who don't. Tony Robbins: Why Some People Take Massive Action and Others Don't! - YouTube

    Have a business, met with an investor tonight. Few questions

    This would be a mistake. Credit cards would be a better option, frankly.

    Four Hour Body

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I ended up gaining 7lbs of muscle in a month, while losing 2lbs of fat. Trying to do both at the same time definitely held me back, so I'm focused purely on fat loss now.

    Watch out Groupon, Here comes Amazon

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    Lighthouse is correct - Amazon invested in LivingSocial and is experimenting with promoting some of their deals. I don't think Amazon will ever be 100% in that business, but they can help make LivingSocial a better competitor to Groupon. IMO, LivingSocial is purely a 'me-too' business right...
