    Anybody use (legal) mushrooms?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    I just bought a Garmin a week ago and have found that the nights that I have some reishi in a cup of tea I have more deep sleep minutes. I’m not sure how accurate the Garmin is at tracking deep sleep, but I do feel more rested. I’ve also had some lions mane with coffee before work and it did...

    Would you consider this to be ethical?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Ethically, I’d say it’s definitely in the gray area. Legally it might be fine - yep @Kevin88660 - depending on the contracts in place, and then yes @100k all is fair in love and war (and business)... If our ethics are what we would do if nobody was watching, then they’re all kinda fluid and we...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Listened to it about a year ago, it was (unsurprisingly) great - going back through and reading it again now.

    Dan Pena's system

    HOT! 
    He’s a big one for using the reputation and connections of the dream team - “if these guys are working on this, it might be worth us considering funding it”. Also the idea is to have people in the team that know what they’re doing (a finance guy, lawyer, ex-CEO that’s done a bunch of...

    Marrying a gorilla...?

    I could be way off here, but what about only licensing the product to them? Keep ownership, but they get to use it for as long as they want (as long as they keep paying their licence fees). You could even have it built in that they’re a licences reseller if that’s what they want - again as long...

    How to reply to Losers and Haters?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    You could always do what this guy did when he was opening his new store and plaster some of his negative reviews on the coming soon signs - well worth a look (and a laugh) “Overpriced, overrated and outrageous”: Adriano Zumbo embraces negative reviews as he launches new Melbourne store -...

    Whats my passion? Im struggling with me

    MINDSET 
    I've gotta disagree with the follow your passion thing. If you love something, trying to make a business out of it has the distinct possibility of sucking all the passion you have out of it. What are you GOOD at? What can you make a great business from? Then spend your down time pursuing your...

    I feel like a loser but have so many skills

    MINDSET RANT 
    Indeed - close friend started her own AdWords business - now has 4 full-time employees and was trying to figure out if she should buy herself a Porsche or hold off just a little longer and put another worker in to grow revenue even more. **note** her business is now quite heavy on the staff...

    The best decision you ever made ?

    Selling my business *ahem* job and moving somewhere that I'm genuinely happy - much better environment for me to start a new biz

    I feel like a loser but have so many skills

    MINDSET RANT 
    I know how you feel man. For my old biz we had web developers that had an annual support fee that was standard for all of their clients. I think it was about $250 for the year and gave us a few hours of support throughout the year. Once we used the hours up we had to start paying again. it was...

    How is this idea

    IDEA 
    Check the regulations with supplements - in Australia you need to be very careful about what you say or claim as soon as health etc. comes into the picture. Does it need to be FDA approved etc.? Definitely look into similar products to see what approvals they have and what hoops you might have...

    Do you own a business or do you own a job?

    MINDSET 
    I sold my business 15 months ago, it was definitely a job. I've taken a contract this year in the same role where I actually get paid MORE than when I owned my own business with the option of 'switching off' when I walk out the door at the end of the day. Although I have a time for $ deal at the...

    How do you tell if an idea is a good idea before investing time and money?

    IDEA 
    The four hour work week has some different validation ideas (may be a little old now, but can be updated). The blog of the same book has a few newer posts on it too. Personally I've crossed a business idea of my list after actually talking to my market and discovering that there's no need for...

    Son How Do You GET THINGS DONE??

    Love it! I've used a daily to do list recommended by Brendon Burchard on and off while I was running a chiro clinic that I found really helpful. It was something like this: Top 3 projects to work on - top 5 tasks for each of them People that I need to call People that I'm waiting on (responses...

    INTRO 
    I had the same question and came up with this Yes. Potentially. There are always going to be people doing a crappy job in any industry - hard to get into building heaps of brand new houses en masse because of the costs right? Yep, but some of these companies will just churn out cardboard boxes...

    Are these points that you had already thought of as part of your set up process - or did they come to you when the need arose? All good points BTW
