    Investment Scenario - your thoughts?

    Correct. If the company pays out dividends, you as a shareholder, can receive money forever. If your partner is the one actively working, he'll take a salary + dividends.

    Investment Scenario - your thoughts?

    Why don't you ask him yourself? If you're not comfortable bringing this up now, perhaps you're not the right for him. If he doesn't understand this is how a lot of capital ventures are done, perhaps he's not the right for you. And a quote I heard was, "A business partnership has to be better...

    Save Yourself Years Of Frustration; It Worked For Me!

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    There was one study where participants rated non-interview conversations deeper and more meaningful. How do you make them feel like you're not getting ready to say, "we'll be right back after this commercial break." Please do :D

    Last time you were bored?

    MINDSET 
    Boredom isn't 100% a bad thing. There was a study, (the source escapes me at the moment), where participants were tasked with copying numbers from a phone book for 2 hours. The other group participated in challenging and evolving puzzles. Enough to keep them active and not bored. After they...

    Google's UI for webmasters and admins is horrendous, and their documentation updates also lag. It used to be a lot worse believe it or not... To check if you installed it correctly, press ctrl+U, if you're on chrome to view the source code. Then ctrl+f and search for your code to see if you...

    Jetpack is fine. Just go into debug mode and only enable what you need. Photon is excellent for image delivery, and their lazy loading is decent too. Plugins are what makes wp so powerful. Just check reviews and number of installs before you add it to your site. 99% of the time you can...

    It's basically a hook on a rail with a motorized chain I'll see if I can get to it tonight You guys have a proper winter there so you're used to it. But there's truth behind sleeping in colder rooms. Your core temp has to go down before you fall asleep. There's an acidic compound that...

    With drapes it does. My bedroom doesn't face any close artificial light sources. Maybe when it's a full moon and clear sky, it could be noticeable around the edges. Thought, if yours does, look into "blackout" drapes. There's a 100+ yr old tree that covers my bedroom exactly, so it doesn't...

    My First $2800 Client - Digital Agency Progress

    EXECUTION 
    Get a CC for your biz and treat it as your Debit. IE don't spend the money just because you have whatever limit they give you. If it gets compromised, you have a much higher chance of getting your money back, as opposed to debit. And may CCs have reward points or even cash back.

    Just overheard an entire Kiyoski based MLM pitch. Wow, that was painful.

    I was mostly being ironic, but let's do a thought experiment. Under what circumstances would your business and daily routines cross with an opportunity for a free book? 1. Networking events 2. Bookstore? (Walking out of there with a book you haven't paid is sketchy. Even if Kio himself handed...

    Upwork Flipping... Ethical?

    Entrepreneurs walk a fine line..It's comically easy to scam a few people out of a few bucks. And there's always the temptation looming to reach for millions. However, most people keep themselves in check. Why? How long do you think you'll last lying, cheating and stealing? You get away a few...

    Just overheard an entire Kiyoski based MLM pitch. Wow, that was painful.

    The product sold in an MLM is rarely viable/sustainable as a fast-lane business. The business is getting people to sing up for the seminars. I'll teach you how to make $1. Give me $1 to find out now. What if you say no and hang up? lol Hear me out though... Step 1. Collect free books from...

    Embarrassing posts on various forums using real name.

    If these are US based sites, <13 years can only give out their information with their parent's consent. (COPPA 1998). You'd have a legal basis for a Google DMCA take down request. If contacting the site owner doesn't work, that is. Otherwise you could bury the results for his name with SEO...

    Upwork Flipping... Ethical?

    A serve in tennis is a serve at any level. The difference between a low monetary value pitch and 5-6+ figures, is vastly different. Check out Spin Selling by Rockham Those aren't even remotely parallel comparisons lol I don't think anyone is arguing that lying is unethical. But for some...

    Upwork Flipping... Ethical?

    That's like saying, I want to play the US Open, but instead of picking up a tennis racket, I'll start with Ping Pong. Perfect practice makes perfect It sounds like you're afraid of the consequences. If the deal happens to go south, the result was out of your direct control, but you still...

    Interview Questions to Hire for Character

    PEOPLE 
    Bringing the right questions to the interview is key. I'd think that asking about whistleblowers makes most HR depts nervous. Not that they're shady, but that it's more work for them. A few more to add: - In what ways would you consider the person who is hired for this position, a success? -...
