    Someone will make $$$ of this NEED

    Banks will never house "drug money" until the Federal government has laws stating that marijuana business is legal in all 50 states. The reason being, most banks are FDIC insured and that requires federal backing, and the Feds aren't getting into it. They're staying out of it especially with the...

    Can a T Shirt Business still be fastlane?

    @tafy is right. Try it. Start with a test sample and see how it goes. Keep it mind that automation is key. The more you automate the less time spent working "in" the business. Automation + Sales = Free Time

    Goals bro. Define your goals on what you think needs to be done and then prioritize them. For example (not related to business but it's good)... I have a buddy who climbed Mt. Everest. One of the biggest nuggets of information that he ever told me is how climbers conquer Everest, or any 8K...

    How NEED became billion dollar bussiness

    EXECUTION 
    I like the GoPros due to their size and shape. It's perfect for, as you already stated, helmet mounts and my favorite, spearfishing. Would adding the GPS technology expand the size of the camera? Side note: I just moved from Colorado, and the past two summers we had extensive forest fires...

    How to test an idea?

    IDEA 
    Most ideas are viable but it's the execution that most people fail in. Get an idea, plan it out (R&D), and start doing. Sell the benefit and you can sell anything. I just wrote Approach to Sales and I think it might help with the latter questions.
