    Never too old to get started right?

    INTRO 
    Your story is eerily similar to mine. I'm following this thread and rooting for your success.

    EXECUTION 
    Read Hillbilly Elegy by JD Vance. It's a very interesting take on the socioeconomic state of lower class whites in America from a guy who grew up in that environment before joining the Marines and graduating from Yale law school. He makes some interesting points about the need for these payday...

    I have an invention. How do I proceed.

    Check out the progress thread on the Paintbrush Cover. Sal was asking similar questions a few years ago. Now he's in major retailers and got a deal on Shark Tank. That thread is a great roadmap for someone in your situation. From IP to manufacturing, to distribution, he's got you covered. I...

    Customer signed contract and disappears? How do you get your money?

    Depends on how much you lost. I've had plenty of experience with this in construction (a business that I no longer own). Collecting on unpaid contracts is an arduous (and often costly) process. If you don't have a lot of costs sunk into the unpaid months, you might be better off forgetting about...

    Building a rental home

    REAL ESTATE 
    I don't do this, but my brother flips, rehabs, tears down, builds, etc full time. I know a bit about building as I had a contractor's license several years ago. I'd say this: if you don't know what you are doing, stay out of the construction process. Depending where you are, the value of the...

    Starting a sock company?

    Two notes of encouragement: 1. A friend of mine started a sock company. It has since been sold, but it is a brand that you can now find in major sporting goods stores across the country. He had no background in sock design or manufacturing. He just saw a need for a sock that he (and others like...

    Can someone recommend a Hosted CRM + Project Manager?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm trying to implement something very similar to what you are doing right now. Nothing has fit the bill perfectly (I've used or demoed a ton of options), but I spent a good deal of time demoing Zoho this weekend. Other than issues synching to Google Calendar, I have been very pleased...

    Diary of Opening A New Business

    NOTABLE! 
    I don't want to send this thread too far off the rails since it is one that I have enjoyed following for quite some time. However, as someone who hires a lot of salespeople, I thought I'd give theBiz my two cents: * With the possible exception of some web-based businesses, it is very tough to...

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Stumbled across it on Amazon, read it about a year ago, and have been lurking here ever since. Finally decided to join the forum today.

    Is giving away Logo-ed merchindice a viable marketing tool???

    MARKETING 
    I spent several years selling into the market that you are targeting, and I can tell you a few things that you might find useful: 1. These guys are picky about their equipment, but, like Pete said, their are certain things they care about more than others. I'd say that anything they wear...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (2012)

    GOLD! 
    I'm no expert on how many searches a term needs to make it viable, but I don't think you need to concern yourself with the fact that "buy mouse traps" doesn't generate many searches compared to "mouse traps." When I'm looking to purchase something on the internet, I don't type "buy XXXX," I...
