What is your life like without a college degree?
HOT!Yeah, the problem is the idiots who think it's the degree that somehow will turn them into successful business people, although they have no passion and no clue. I know some people like this. Not cocky, but people who have never demonstrated a desire or passion for starting/running a business...- PedroG

What is your life like without a college degree?
HOT!I've seen so many people make the huge mistake of not getting their college degree. Unless you already have a fast lane business, I don't recommend skipping college. Of course, college isn't for everyone, but unless you really do have a better plan, get your degree. You can still work on fast...- PedroG

What is your life like without a college degree?
HOT!The Master's in Computer Science that I'll be finishing before doing my MBA has an Entrepreneurship option. If you choose to do a thesis, it's basically starting a business from scratch, including all the market research and product prototype, which is kinda cool.- PedroG

What is your life like without a college degree?
HOT!Some go out of their way to discourage people from going to school, but it really depends on the person, I think. School and entrepreneurship are not mutually exclusive. I have a bachelor's degree and 13 years of experience in my field, but I recently decided to finish my master's which I...- PedroG

Tired of Doing Everything Myself. Need Ad Agency.
MARKETINGI built a service (SaaS application) that I really believe could help people. I'm a tech guy. I specialize in building software systems, and I'm afraid that my good idea will fail because of lack of marketing skills. I've been trying to learn as much as I can about copywriting and marketing...- PedroG

[RANT]: Raise the minimum wage! This is so unfair!
GOLD! EXECUTIONYou said "You're working 40 hours a week FULL TIME!". My problem with that statement is that it implies that you should get paid according to how much you work. In reality you get paid based on the value you are providing. You can't just say anyone that has a job, regardless of the job, should...- PedroG

[RANT]: Raise the minimum wage! This is so unfair!
GOLD! EXECUTIONAnd still you won't say which assumption you are talking about. You post links and provide only vagueness. I'm the one that gives up here. It sounds like the FACT that the price of something affects demand...you believe that to be an assumption apparently. Since you haven't really addressed any...- PedroG

[RANT]: Raise the minimum wage! This is so unfair!
GOLD! EXECUTIONHere's the thing. You talk about the assumptions I'm making but you have yet to point them out. Your making very vague points about how the issue is more complex but you aren't specific about anything. Which assumptions am I making? The point I'm making is that it isn't as complex as people...- PedroG

[RANT]: Raise the minimum wage! This is so unfair!
GOLD! EXECUTIONUmm, no you don't need to assume a perfect market to know that when something costs more than what it's worth to you, you're not going to purchase it or you are going to purchase less. The problem with minimum wage supporters is that they think they know how much to raise the minimum wage by...- PedroG

[RANT]: Raise the minimum wage! This is so unfair!
GOLD! EXECUTIONYour premise is incorrect. You assume that raising the minimum wage would actually help the poor. it wouldn't. If it did, why not raise it to $100 per hour? Because it would increase unemployment. Well, the same thing happens at whatever amount you would set it to, if it is above what the market...- PedroG

Why does everyone want to get there so fast?
NOTABLE! MINDSETI agree, especially about those who make these ridiculous goals to earn X amount by X date. You know what I'm focused on? My first $5. I want ONE customer to use my current service for 30 days, and then make the conscious decision to sign up. That's all I want. That ONE customer. That will...- PedroG

Wait for big idea or peck with small ones
IDEA MINDSETI think as long as you know what to expect from those small ideas, work on them. You could gain experience from working on them. But continue to train your mind to look for the big one.- PedroG

Just heard a dad tell his son to go the slow lane to get a Lamborghini
HOT!A great thing about MJ's book is that not only does it help you understand what would make your own business a success, but it also helps you in identifying whether other startups are on the road to success, if you decide to go this route. I know a few engineers who have joined funded...- PedroG

The Paint Brush Cover Shark Tank Update This Friday
When you are trying to build a multi-million dollar business, why in the world would you risk losing the person you want to work with, for an extra 100k, 200k or even 300k? They felt Lori was the person to take them where they wanted to go. They could have lost her completely by coming across as...- PedroG

6 Figures in 12 Months! How to Free Yourself from Wage Slavery
HOT!This actually crossed my mind in the past. The last company I worked for ended up hiring only 1 out of 27 people they interviewed. So much wasted time and money on the interview process. We're talking hours of employees' time; employees who get paid six figures. It's so hard for companies to...- PedroG

As an engineer you really get to manage your own time, as long as you don't join a startup or a group that practices full Agile (daily update meetings suck).
