    I've finally quit gaming.

    MINDSET 
    Congrats, that's a huge step...you realizing that you had an addiction and changing your habits is huge. I gamed a little bit in the past in spurts and I know what a time suck it can be. Make sure to use that newly found free time productively!

    Trying to reset...Thinking about selling insurance

    Hey everyone, It's been a while since I posted. I took a job about 4 years ago as a consultant (I'm an engineer) and the job has taken up a lot of my time. It's definitely not a 9 to 5, and they are very focused on me getting the most billable hours possible. Anyways, I've gone away from my...

    Ask me anything about eCommerce (Ongoing)

    GOLD! 
    Thanks for doing this biophase, I've learned a ton from this thread. I have a question with regards to branding. You've talked about improving products and creating a brand around your products. I have a couple questions with respect to that: 1. Do you have one single brand that encompasses all...

    GOLD! 
    So you choose a product or products from alibaba or amazon that are currently selling and make changes to them based on customer reviews? What are the criteria for your changes? What is the investment up front to have the manufacturer you're working with iterate on a design with you? Do you have...

I'm interested in also going to a programmers meetup like Ruby on Rails or something along those lines. The descriptions say to bring your...

    Looking for a Programmer/Developer

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    You can also try a local meetup. Go to meetup.com and sign up for a Ruby group. Try going there and talk to some programmers. Also you can try google groups. You can access email addresses of people in the group from what I remember.

    Here to destroy all your preconceived notions about college

    HOT! 
    I mean that instead of doing something about it they just "settle" and don't go back to school. It's also true many people don't believe they can learn. I've had conversations with cousins of mine where when I talk about how I want out of my job I don't learn anything and it's not fulfilling, he...

    Best way(s) to gauge interest in a website or idea???

    IDEA 
    I understand building the product is the best way to find out if people are interested and to get REAL feedback, but the trade off is that I have to spend more money than I may want on an idea I'm not guaranteed there is a market for. That's the reason I was leaning toward making a landing page...

    Here to destroy all your preconceived notions about college

    HOT! 
    Good point. I'm not sure what the solution here is. It's a tough situation because more and more people are coming out of college without jobs. Maybe if the cost of college was lower like dknise suggested, the "risk" would be less. But that most likely won't change any time soon either. Another...

    Here to destroy all your preconceived notions about college

    HOT! 
    I'm entering this conversation a little late, but I think there are too many people in college that would be suited better doing something else with their time and money. I remember hearing that too when I was in grade school. Get good grades so you can get a good job. A lot of people just...

    Best way(s) to gauge interest in a website or idea???

    IDEA 
    I agree the biggest thing is to get going. I already have a domain so I'm going to go to unbounce (or do some more research on creating landing pages) set up the page with aweber form, etc. and go from there. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Thanks

    Best way(s) to gauge interest in a website or idea???

    IDEA 
    Thanks for the response!!..this is a good start. I have some questions regarding your response: 1. Do people really check everyone that is retweeting their tweets? I have a twitter account but don't tweet that often. I've read that's an excellent way to get traffic assuming you have...
