    Habits of Self-Made Billionaires (Info-graphic)

    EXECUTION 
    Eating with employees is very relevant if you talk to them. My current employers have no idea about what is going on on the shop floor. They keep claiming poverty and yet allow people to waste time and company resources without saying anything because the owner is barely every there and when he...

    We're all going to starve!

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    I live in the Suburbs of Vancouver and we have vast amounts of land by the sea that are in the Agricultural land reserve. I always thought it was a waste as land here can go for millions of dollars and there is a shortage of affordable housing. Like all low density suburban areas we have huge...

    EXECUTION HOT! 
    Looking at North Korea, China and the Soviet Union during their collectivization periods (and in the case of North Korea, currently), I don't think tight control will work. If it doesn't pay you more to grow 1000 tonnes of grain than it does 10, few people are going to bother with the hastle. I...

    Damn, these guys sound miserable..........

    I think the problem is everyone here expects everyone else to be able to create a successful business. The hard truth is that even of those who will try, most will fail. Even very intelligent people fail at it, and when you take into account that half the population has an I.Q. of below a...

    Anyone prep for collapse? Your life contingency plans...[Doomsday Prepping]

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You should rent out spaces at your enclave. $10,000 per person to be secured from the apocolypse. You'd have a desperate market, no obligation to fulfill if it didn't happen, and free labor if the worst should happen.

    A few years ago I rmember someone recommending buying Icelandic bonds to get 10% returns per year. This was before the financial crisis. People thought it was safe because it was a first world, European country. We all know how that turned out. Usually interest rates are high for a reason...

    Start up brainstorm (outside the box thinking exercise)

    How about a service from the buyer's perspective. The buyer give them the criteria and they find a business. the problem with traditional brokers seems to that they focus only on what they already have. They should instead focus on finding businesses from other brokers other sources and be...

    Interview in a magazine with a miljonair. Handcrafted people

    MINDSET FTE 
    "He said, that the miljons made nowadays are made by people that are good with their hands. Not with their brains." Don't discount the fact he could simply be wrong. That being said, plumbers, oil workers and other trades people are doing relatively well (so I hear), probably because everyone...

    Disoriented Genomics/Statistics PhD, budding Entrepreneur

    Hi Allen, looks like an impressive resume. I suppose a mistake in business can be very dangerous, but I think creativity can overcome most obstacles. I wish I could give more practical advice, but I have not had much real world experience.

    Post office is losing 25m per day.. can we group buy?

    Unions should not exist for government services. Even Franklin Roosevelt thought that was inappropriate. In many areas they have a monopoly and they wield power that is not earned through doing a good job, but through their ability to manipulate the government, which until recently has not been...

    Bill Gates: Being a billionaire is overrated

    If you have a billion dollars and the best thing you can think of doing with it is getting a hamburger, then the problem is that you lack imagination, not that you can't buy a hamburger that tastes like a billion dollars.

    Any books/videos that CHANGED your life? Especially on confidence

    HOT! 
    I did three things that seemed to help. The counter intuitive one was to realize that I was just another person and if I failed, succeeded, or did nothing no one would care in the long run, and they were more preoccupied with their own lives than with me. I also realized that I was not the...

    Has The world Gone mad???

    INVESTING 
    There were several economic crises while still on the gold standard. At the end of the 19th century there was a particularly bad one that is considered by some to be worse than the great depression. The only thing gold has going for it is that it is difficult to create, and that can be a...

    "finished Standford at 16"..."taught himself programming at 10"..

    I'm going to reply to this because I am in the same boat you are, although 11 years older. Do not do what I did. Everyone said I was so smart and I believed that I could do anything. Or at least that is what I told myself. But I didn't believe it truly. I have spent my adult life going through...
