    It Is Clear Now

    INTRO 
    Welcome from one CT resident to another! Awesome that you can sell your art for that much. What kind of paintings do you do? My wife is a teacher in CT as well (inner city), and I don't blame you for wanting to get out haha. The amount of incompetence and bureaucracy in her districts...

    Manufacturing in Mexico

    Hey guys! I'm starting the process of finding a manufacturer to make plastic injection molded parts and also do some ultrasonic welding. I want to avoid China, so I was thinking Mexico may be a good option and could potentially benefit from the USMCA. Does anyone have experience getting...

    How to keep product testers from spilling the beans?

    Thanks for the advice. My idea might almost fall into this category. It's a simple add-on accessory for an existing product, so there's definitely a chance of it getting copied or becoming obsolete at some point. I've had this idea for a while and I can execute quickly, so I want to give it a...

    How to keep product testers from spilling the beans?

    My process of making the prototypes is fairly involved (I'm CNC machining molds for urethane plastic resin), so this isn't something the majority of people could do. That being said, the product itself is simple and could be 3D printed pretty easily even though 3D printing isn't ideal in this...

    How to keep product testers from spilling the beans?

    Hey guys, I'm currently in the process of making some prototypes of my invention, and I want to send them to a few people in my target market to test and provide feedback. I know that NDAs are typically not recommended here, and it makes sense why. It wouldn't make sense financially for me...

    how to: weightlifting programs with progression

    HEALTH 
    Great thread and overview of all the basics! I'm currently doing an upper / lower / push / pull / legs routine. Needed a 5x a week routine that hits all the muscle groups twice, and I'm loving it. Was previously doing 3x a week full body, but I like the higher volume and shorter workouts on...

    Family Business in a (Seemingly) Declining Music Industry Niche

    Hmm, this may be a good way to go if they just want to cash out on the business. I would have to be more confident that I could significantly increase the sales before putting a large amount of money towards it. Thanks for the suggestion!

    Family Business in a (Seemingly) Declining Music Industry Niche

    Wow, this is a great idea! They will take potential customer's real opinions more seriously than anyone else's. And yeah I totally agree with what you say about telling a story, and they do have a great story to tell. They're also known for having really great customer service and their...

    Family Business in a (Seemingly) Declining Music Industry Niche

    Yeah, that totally makes sense. There would need to be a discussion before anything happened to make sure they were fully on board and willing to make changes and try new things. You're right in that they think the marketing is fine. Up until 2 years ago, the website looked like it was made...

    Family Business in a (Seemingly) Declining Music Industry Niche

    Hey Guys, I may have the opportunity soon to get involved with a family business, and I'm looking for some feedback as to whether this is smart or not. There may be some emotional aspects that are clouding my judgement, so I want to try and see around those. The business manufactures custom...

    Business Ideas for the (emerging) stay-at-home Economy?

    HOT! IDEA 
    Do you guys think there will be a long lasting push to bring manufacturing back to the US? It seems like there might be some coming legislation to encourage this and people are definitely realizing that being dependent on foreign manufacturing is not good, but will this be strong enough to...

    Quarantine Fitness - What's Your Routine?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    ooooh, I like this thread. I made "dumbbells" using big fabric grocery bags and putting my quarantine provisions inside (bags of rice, lentils, a big jug of peanuts and filled up water bottles). It actually works pretty well. I also fill up my backup with the "weights", and I try to hit all...

    Do you exercise in the morning, during the day, or at night?

    HEALTH 
    These days I wake up between 5:30 and 6:30. I love getting up early as long as I get enough sleep. I normally exercise around 11 am for an hour right before lunch. I work from home in the morning and afternoon, so it's a great way to break up the day and clear the mind. I also have lots of...

    HOT! IDEA 
    I've been thinking a lot about this recently. I'm living outside the US right now, but I'm from new england and I work closely with a custom fabrication / machine shop in Connecticut. I've been trying to come up with a product that I could design/sell and they could make. So far, I think my...

    This is great! Thanks for the awesome thread @eliquid. I'm still reading through some of it, but lots of amazing stuff so far. I've been reading Principles by Ray Dalio recently, which talks a lot about this area of personality, values and strengths. So I've been thinking more and more about...
