    HVAC Business Ideaa

    IDEA 
    Just start. What's the worst that could happen? It's fails and you go back to working for someone else just like you do now? Or you have moderate success but still trade your time for money? Those are lateral moves. What's the best that could happen? You end up with one or more locations you...

    How do you guys approach the subject of 'interest'?

    Money. Chasing. Go back and read the books again.

    How to get to the fastlane with real estate?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Your first step isn't finding quality investments, it's coming up with your own method to evaluate whatever investments you want to pursue. Then review properties on the market that fit what you're looking for, run your own numbers to see if you'd do the deal or not, then monitor those deal to...

    How to get to the fastlane with real estate?

    REAL ESTATE 
    I've always self-managed my own portfolio of multifamily and short-term rentals, and done my own flips because I'm handy and enjoy it. I've never done any syndications, wholesale deals or anything else so unfortunately I'm probably not the best one to give you advice. What I can say is that...

    How do I provide value to a Facebook Group I'm creating?

    MARKETING 
    Exactly! Can you piggy back on other groups? Provide value there. Hint at (your) solutions to their problems. Let them ask for more details.

    Building a billion dollar enterprise

    GOLD! EXECUTION 
    Hey Roc, I'm curious to know where you landed/are leaning on the ERP side of things. I'm not on your level, but I've reached "The Position of F*ck You". We've just now bought another existing business as a turn-around and are going to make some changes to set it up for growth. There's a brick...

    Think I'm a "Heavy Hitter?" Raise Your Expectations.

    MINDSET 
    This is me. I fly coach. I buy used cars. I have a humble house and wear basic clothes. Money goes back into the businesses. Every purchase I scrutinize because 'I'd rather use that money for... (Insert business purpose/idea here)". I never feel like what I have is enough and I still live like...

    Best Laptop for Enterpreneurs?

    CHAT RANT 
    I agree with @perchboy(mental masturbation). Anything will work. Buy what you can afford. If you're actually 'working' on something you'll know what's important to you and what your current system is lacking. This will influence your purchase decision and is a personal choice. Like @ugudango...

    Comfortable with a lack of hunger...

    MINDSET 
    On the contrary...you didn't die at all. Death would make you uneasy and desperately motivate you to change your situation. You didn't find death, you found comfort...at the expense of others. It's clear to many of us that you didn't lose your hunger, you stopped making goals and simply gave up...

    Rate this another idea : "SaaS to train people against phishing attacks"

    IDEA FEEDBACK 
    KnowBe4 does this. Training, simulated attacks and reporting and iterative training for staff based on those results. I'm sure there's room for competition, but it already exists. https://www.knowbe4.com/

    ASSERTION 
    MJ, It's sad that we need policies for this kind of shit. It should've just been labelled #landfill and purged IMO. Just goes to show that some people are able to help themselves and appreciate the guidance they are given along the way. Others are too arrogant to see the value they've been...

    Customers trying to low ball me.

    IDEA 
    What does this mean? Did they say 'no' meaning they wouldn't pay more? Or does 'no' mean they don't want you to do the work? Your post isn't clear. A quote is a quote. If the scope changes, so does the quote. If they don't agree, then they can keep shopping. Otherwise, upsell them. "That work...

    Best place to be around like minded people? Willing to pay money. Insider question

    MINDSET 
    I've highlighted some pieces from your post. "From now on"... "willing to go" In other words, you aren't "100% committed" either and aren't taking the actions that you hope to find in a peer group. "I only want to associate with those who are super serious" Then get serious yourself first...

    Let's start the war. (But lose the battle with dropshipping)

    INTRO 
    And you're surprised by this? $5 on FB ads isn't enough to get any decent data If you did get a sale, it wouldn't prove anything with so little ad spend Drop shipping isn't as cost effective as you have been led to believe. Despite doing this backwards, if you've found products that solve...

    I'm better than everyone around me, but not enough to become successful

    OFF-TOPIC 
    From your post it sounds like you're a student in college and these are other students you're doing a group project with. Is that right? Here are a few thoughts to consider: Practice Empathy: As @msufan said, remember that everyone has different strengths and areas of expertise. While you may...

    My mindset is suffering

    MINDSET 
    It sounds like you have a plan for getting your feet back under you but hopefully my (late) post can also help with some things to consider. Your Book: Who is your target market and where can you find them? Instead of blowing money on advertising, can you knock on some doors and try to get some...

    Starting my journey to 1 million$ in less than 2 years by following these principles.

    INTRO 
    Congrats! It takes a lot to listen to the criticism, absorb it, and make positive changes. It would have been much easier to dismiss it all and keep going blindly down the path you were on. "Deserving" is a tricky thing to unpack. At the root, deserving implies that someone has to give you...

    I wonder why (most) Americans don't do this.

    OFF-TOPIC CHAT 
    It may be free for nationals but I doubt it's free for intentional students. In Canada international student fees are about triple the normal rate for Canadian citizens the last I checked.
