    Can you guys take a look at my carpet cleaning website?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    It's not terrible by any means. Defiantly needs work though. If you are to succeed in any of your future adventures, you need to take the constructive criticism like a gift and build a thicker skin. Your first reaction was "Where can I find a decent designer/copywriter" That's a give up...

    How to Learn Code, Start a Web Company, $15k+ per month within 9 months

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Agreed. Having 3 of my own websites currently running, means I get a ton of spam daily and anything that looks like this title and to be honest content gets marked spam. Great effort in thinking this way, I just think you need to focus a little more on reaching a certain decision making...

    The Lean Startup. Worth the read?

    Good to great I have read and listened to the audio version. Goes very deep and can send you to sleep for sure. But, a true classic and some great take-aways. I always quote the part about, it doesn't matter where the bus is going, as much as having the right people on the bus

    The Lean Startup. Worth the read?

    But, that's the whole point - A lot of businesses don't constantly get feedback, evaluate and pivot as necessary. They rely on false indicators as to how well they are doing, then it is often too late to make changes, or they become drastic changes. Everyone will take away something different...

    The Lean Startup. Worth the read?

    I'm reading it now. Andy is right in that it doesn't grab you to where you can't put it down. However, I find the advice extremely valuable and defiantly a must read IMO. Especially surrounding topics like vanity metrics, constant feedback and ensuring you are actually growing, rather than...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    Been off the site for a while. Been too busy building my 3 small businesses. Great to see this thread is still going strong. I tried this a while ago and went through all the outlined processes. Issue I had and would love any Canadians to chime in on, was the Canada postage rate - We get screwed...

    7 Things to Do if You Don’t Want to Be a Millionaire

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Got rid of the cable over 3 months ago now and kept the cable boxes in case I missed it too much. Decided yesterday to sell them, as we don't miss it one bit. Very rare we get to sit down until 9.00 anyway, then we are in bed for 10.00, to be up for 5.30 anyway.

    What the f*ck are they saying

    HOT! 
    Agreed. If only people spent the same time on their businesses, or generating ideas for a business, as they do thinking about and writing insanely long posts, then we would see a lot more AMA threads on the forum. For those who say "well you read the whole thing", I didn't, only a few in between...

    Millennials are Jerks, And Boomers Are to Blame

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    Agreed. I see it in my own daughter - Everything in the latter years of schooling was instant gratification - "We aren't going to have races anymore, as it upsets the children who come last, so everyone will be a winner" etc. So, once they get in to the "real world" and have to deal with...

    Millennials are Jerks, And Boomers Are to Blame

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    As a district Manager in the corporate world, we actually had to partake in a HR session on how to deal with Generation Y and it's is a interesting subject. They basically told us in a nutshell that you can not expect them to work as hard as the older generations, as they have not been...

    Sales Advice

    MARKETING 
    Very true. I held a presentation for my sales team once and it was just a 2 page slide - first said how to increase your sales exponentially. Second slide simply said "SHUT UP and listen" Problem with most sales people is they think they have to have the gift of the gab and fill all the...

    Sales Advice

    MARKETING 
    IDK. Some of my best successes have been with the grouches in the buying community. The ones most sales guys stay away from as they will rip you another A hole in 2 sec flat if you don't know your stuff. However, persevere and push where others won't and you will often find these guys to be just...

    Sales Advice

    MARKETING 
    SPIN is a great book to read - they did studies with top sellers over many years. For me - I have found there is no real magic formula and it is all about uncovering the true need through the right questions and wanting/being able to offer a solution. Nobody likes to be sold, but everyone likes...

    The guy who made that decision to rent a $150K piece of equipment for 3 years at $15K/month should be fired.

    Importing from my bedroom

    Agree with the Canada shipping. It's Crazy! I imported a product thought would cost about $5 to ship, only weighs a couple hundred grams - $17 shipping within Canada!
