    Is opening a Coffee Shop a good idea ?

    HOT! IDEA 
    I think I had mentioned it before but my brother-in-law is a roaster here in Virginia. I'm sure he could get you started on what you should be learning, what equipment you need, and tips on getting certain flavors. They do sell small 1lb roasters so you wouldn't have to invest in one of the huge...

    Need you!

    In sales, I silently discount price for customers when writing the proposal/estimate. Ex: if they're getting 30 lin ft of fence, I can't really drop the price much but I can make the price 1) lower than the competition, and 2) visibly appealing ($1160 vs $1200 -- there's a thread on this...

    2018 Fastlane Summit - Preliminary Probe for Speakers

    MEETUPS 
    I'll think on a topic. Once the spots start filling in, I'd be glad to develop a new talk for the group. Sounds odd, but I'll ask: Are there subjects that are off limits?

    What would you do if you CANNOT get a Job ?

    HOT! 
    If I had absolutely no money and couldn't sell a product for someone else, I'd sell used electronics. I did that for a few months last year and when I began, most people were giving them to me for free. They didn't see the value in damaged items but I knew there was a market. With the cash...
