    This is great insight. After losing a ton of money in Ecom last year. Using 3pl and someone else building our products. We are shifting to in house fulfillment, my team assembling and a low staff model.

    Should I stop watching the news?

    HOT! 
    I noticed a huge difference when I stopped watching the news. You will be more positive and get more done. My theory is that as you focus less on things you can’t contol, I.E. conflict with Iran. And start only leaving mind space for things you can control. Working on your business. Making a...

    Patent Application Process

    I would second the notion to do a provisional. I file mine on my own. And it’s easy. Just follow the steps. One thing I learned about provisional patents is they don’t even look at them they just approve them. It’s more about putting a placemark to when you file your actual patent. I also...

    That bad marketing unless your targeting 20 year olds in safe zones after 2016 election, selling coloring books. The true question is simple what’s your target audience? Your biasis are making it hard for you to understand that what your assertion could also piss off more people than you...
