    You can run with gout? Isn't it ridiculously painful to even walk? Amen. Regular strength training fixes truckloads of other random shit for me over the years. Everyone should lift.

    @Timmy C I completely understand your perspective, but it's a pretty depressing and self-defeating way of looking at fitness. Pro athletes shouldn't be anyone's benchmark. Elite performance takes people in the opposite direction of health because the only goal is winning. Pro athletes BEAT on...

    Those things make a *huge* difference particularly as you get older. Try hanging out with more people your age that don't train regularly. There's already a pretty big gap there. Fast forward another 20 years and the gap is 100x bigger for just doing some of the training you're doing now. It's...

    Take it: Six-figure local service opportunity (Better than copywriting!)

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    This is a great value add option for the offer. I can't imagine any other plumber would offer a faucet like this as part of the installation. Save the counter drilling, less cluttered look, quicker install. Another variation could be some kind of valve switch that uses the existing faucet in...

    What would you do buying a dead SAAS? (purchase agreement / legal costs)

    SAAS / APPS QUESTION TAXES | REGS 
    My wife's an attorney, but we used tweaked templates for flipping properties. I like the template you posted particularly since it's fairly easy to read and includes an arbitration clause. The real value of the attorney isn't drafting the agreement, it's explaining what all the terms mean. Then...

    Take it: Six-figure local service opportunity (Better than copywriting!)

    IDEA EXECUTION 
    Been looking into this for a couple of days since it seems like a good idea. While looking for a local installer, the first company I contacted installs and maintains under the sink RO filters entirely on a rental basis. It's $35 / month for a twelve month contract including filter swaps...

    Yep, recurring revenue helps immensely. So much easier to build the business. I sent you a DM about a website launch discussion.

    @Dean Irwin Hey, Dean. I'm trying to understand how GoalSumo helps supports the 1/5/10 year framework. My problem of late is trying to make meaningful progress on multiple goals / priorities, especially when they're long term (1 - 2+ years). You can't just rank everything #1 through #17 and...

    Your change of perspective over time was great to read. Love this post. This conflict is the problem. Out of all the wonderful things you wrote, this really stands out to me. The best sales people see themselves as problems solvers for their customers. That's exactly what you've been doing...

    I think so. The business is changing hands on 2/1 and the project is being funded with the purchase loan.

    You hire it. Domain expertise can definitely be an advantage and it's where most people naturally start. The problem is they often spend most of their business life being domain experts instead of working on growing the business and adding new skills. The basic problem with buying domain...

    Self-Doubt? This Is Your Competition

    MINDSET 
    It looks like about 1% of students remain after six weeks. Probably true for any kind of open enrollment course. 90% drop out in the first two weeks (14 days total) 90% more drop out in the following four weeks (42 days total)

    Alrighty, they're thinking $10K - $15K initial budget and launching within 60 days. Good start for Project #1. I suppose learning how to actually do the work will come in useful shortly.

    I would be grateful for some advice on the direction of my business

    IDEA 
    Agreed! Just keep making decisions and it will last. BTW, I'm revising my GMBI worthwhile score to B- or higher after grading a couple of other ideas. The upside from those kinds of ideas is plenty for my world. Probably something like $10M - $50M+ over time. Actually, the one sort of confusing...

    All of that makes perfect sense. Thx for the clarification!

    I would be grateful for some advice on the direction of my business

    IDEA 
    I just used GMBI for the first time. Spot on. Really wish I'd known about CENTS back in the day. Did any of your ideas score above C+ or B-? I wouldn't put serious time into anything below A- / B+ score. Better to figure out how to change the grade first. Yet convincing people that it...

    Post #1 & #2 in this thread by both of you are excellent!!! At least the second part is true. Neither of them gives good presentation or can be learned from sales books. They're both pretty awful speaking in front of groups. Yet some how, some way both are billionaires many times over which...
