    Small Scale Manufacturing Machines

    HOT! 
    I have some experience from past life, including some expensive mistakes. If you buy machines with the idea of "I'll run this in my garage and get RICH" you are mistaken. Now, at the risk of seeming to contradict myself, if you want to get rich in manufacturing a prototyping shop is not a...

    Is it possible for very rich people to hang out with poor/working class people?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Maybe some exceptions exist but in general no. If you surround yourself with five millionaires you will become the sixth. If you surround yourself with five drunks you will become the sixth. A wealthy man who decides to hang out with "regular guys" is aiming for mediocrity. The scenario...

    Direct snail mail marketing?

    MARKETING 
    First, I've been away from the forum for a while. It's been a roller coaster ride and maybe I ought to post a re-introducing myself thread. Anyway, this place is great. One of the internet's best destinations. Glad to be back. At the moment I had a thought that I wanted to throw on the table...

    Sales "Let me think about it"

    EXECUTION 
    I wish I had a better answer but in my experience "let me think about it" is a soft "no."

    Why dropshipping is bullshit... (and why you should avoid it).

    HOT! 
    Offshore manufacturing isn't by itself in the same "scammy" genre as drop shipping. If you are getting a product made, importing it and have it in stock, ready to ship you are doing something completely different than selling a picture with good copy in faith that the product (a) exists and (b)...

    Needs to be said... sell the DAMN motorcycle.

    HOT! RANT 
    I own a 1943 Harley that I've been slowly putting back together for years. I wanted to build it and do a long trip on it, or take it out for country rides. That desire is slipping. Now, my goal is to get it mechanically done and then sell it. It will at that point be at its best saleable...

    Job Offer After College - $17 an hour - Demotivated, should I take it?

    FTE 
    If the job is in the field you want to be in, take it. "Entry level" means just that. It's a start. Don't turn your nose up at a cash flow, even if it's low volume. Consider the point of view an intelligent employer has to have about a recent college grad. You are a complete unknown...

    Patent or not

    If you want to build and sell the product yourself you can go either way. If you want to license or assign the right to build it to a company in exchange for royalties, you need a patent. That bears repeating. If you want to sell product you can just build and sell product. If you want to sell...

    Do you take any kind of stimulants?

    HEALTH 
    I've also cut back to mornings only. Too much caffeine is bad juju, but occasional caffeine is good juju.

    Can Hypnosis unlock your Business Potential?

    Some years ago I had a bit of time and money on my hands after selling a business. I saw a local hypnotist was teaching a class. I've always been fascinated by hypnosis so I took the class. Long story short, yes it can help you. I'm still astounded by the results people get from hypnosis. Now...

    Jordan Peterson's Future Authoring program helped me achieve (literally) everything I wanted.

    HOT! 
    I just listened to his interview with Rogan. I had only heard about him a little so I didn't know much about him going into it. I was really impressed. Now seeing this has me thinking maybe I better not ignore the coincidence.

    My brother tried to kill me and my family did nothing about it.

    PEOPLE RANT 
    This is a case where joining the military may be your best bet. It would take you out of the house without you having to pay rent. It would give you a place to be and a place to grow for a few years while you figure out what to do with the rest of your life. You cant fix him. You cant fix...

    How to best promote my upcoming Meditation book?

    MARKETING 
    Watching with keen interest. I have been working on a book too. At this point all I have is raw, unedited writing that is far from a book but that is where I'm taking it.

    China's Social Credit System. Thoughts?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I do think there will be more of this in other countries. It will take some years for it to be visible in Western countries but it will come. It isn't "conspiracy theory" thinking to see this coming. The Chinese government is deeply authoritarian and as such are more visible, but governments...

    Buy a float tank. Change your life.

    NOTABLE! 
    There is a float parlor near me. They have a per session price, then various levels of membership that entitle the member to however many sessions ranging from one or two a month up to unlimited. They also do cryo therapy. This is a military town (Camp Lejeune) so I imagine there are...
