    Is this crazy or a good idea?

    IDEA 
    Way to take action... use MJ's evaluator to get some of that feedback... definitely a concern for people and parents, I'm sure you can tap into a profitable revenue stream depending on the direction you take it.

    What would the perfect cleaning company be for you?(Business/Real Estate Owners)

    We only have a few thousand sq ft office and my staff takes care of the vacuuming and occasional cleaning. If I hired a cleaning company security/theft of equipment/inventory would be a concern so trustworthiness would be important. Besides that, there isn't much else besides getting the...

    What Does Your Office View Look Like? My Current View

    One of the benefits of having your own business is being able to work how/when/where you'd like. My company has an office but I work from home most days of the week which allows me to see my 4 and 2 year old girls way more than most parents get to (you never get that time back, it is...

    I Received a $4,000 Offer for a Domain Name - Newbie Looking for Advice Please

    Turning $50 to $4000 is a great return. Even if you ask them how they are using it or what it is for you might not get a truthful answer. I would throw out a higher price and see if they are willing to go up (that was just their starting offer). If they seem very firm then you can make the...

    Is paying for brand name rights a stupid idea?

    IDEA 
    How viable is your business/idea? Have you proven a need in the market? There would be a ton of research and questions I'd ask before committing 6k for a domain and logo... even if I knew I could grow the business or have started making sales I still would likely not drop 6k for a domain/logo...

    HOT! INTRO 
    San Diego, as Ron Burgundy said: Discovered by the Germans in 1904, they named it San Diego, which of course in German means a whale's vagina.

    Moved from the eastern coast of the U.S. with 4 seasons, cold winters, hot/humid summers and tons of grey days, moving to a warm and sunny climate (San Diego) has definitely made me more energetic and happy. Been here 13 years and when it is cold/grey here I notice my energy level decrease...

    Equifax is paying you $125 if you were affected by the 2017 breach

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Did the same a few days after this huge breach took place, can save a ton of time and headaches in the future. It isn't difficult to unfreeze but you will need your PIN handy when you need a credit inquiry run or account opened (ex. for a car, credit card, house loan, etc)

    Required viewing: Why creating value is a *moral* imperative - Jonathan Haidt on the power of Capitalism

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Great site @ChrisV... "Research and interactive data visualizations to understand the world’s largest problems." Could be a treasure trove for finding business ideas that solve problems and provide valuable and needed services to help eliminate or minimize those problems.
