    I appreciate it man! And glad you read through the thread. Lots of ups and downs but each up and each down teaches me a valuable lesson, the type of lessons you only learn by actually taking action and trying stuff.

    Hey everyone, Wow it's been a while, my apologies for being gone for so long. Anywho, I ended up going back to school for computer programming/software development, I know it's kind of a slowlane thing to do, but i'll be honest, I am loving school right now and am kicking a$$. I will be...

    Yeah I totally feel ya. I'm actually wanting to go back to school to learn more about programming. While I have *some* skill with a few languages, I think having someone teach me how to do it the right way will help me go a long way. I'm really interested now in automation and I think...

    I appreciate it man! I'm not going to let this keep me back. This is just a speed bump, a nice valuable speed bump because I did learn a lot and this allowed me to not only sharpen my skills, but I made me realize how valuable these are and will be in the future.

    what's up guys! So sorry for lack of updates. So here's an update, with a bit of a weird turn of events: So a few months back, I decided I needed a bigger and better website. So I built one. It was great, it had a news column, reviews, opinion pieces on it, all done by me. Optimized the...

    Sooner than expected update. Instead of the phone call, the folks at the B&M actually wanted to meet me. Just got back from meeting, they're very interested and want to take the next steps with me. They liked my pricing, loved my knowledge on the product, they were blown away actually. Tasks...

    Quick update for everyone. I am scheduled to have a phone conversation with a local B&M, he sounds pretty interested so I am going to see what we can do to get products in his store. I will also offer to have a live demo at the location as well. I am going to use some past sales techniques...

    Signs you are a "wantrapreneur"

    HOT! MINDSET 
    OT but this is actually pretty easy LOL. Back on topic (inspired by a friend of mine last year) -Create a product and expect it to sell out within a week without any promotion or marketing -Have the mindset of "If you build it they will come". Nope you have to let them know it exists first...

    Thanks for all the love guys! Wanted to swing by and share something that's pretty inspirational. Atleast I think so. So my girlfriend has been out of work for the past year to care for her dad who had cancer. It was pretty bad. (he's okay now thankfully). During that time, she lost her...

    Hey man I appreciate the kind words! As far as trying to do this with minimal to no web development skills and knowledge: my opinion is that it is not exactly necessary to have that skillset. It does help though I will say that. Last year I didn't have any knowledge of code, but I went to Code...

    So I just made 3 sales. boom. Feels good. This now confirms that I'm on the right path. It was funny because right before the sales came in, I was telling myself that this idea was stupid and maybe I was making a mistake. I had read some Bold and Determined to get my mind right, then boom I woke...

    Thanks for the reply guys! @Mr. Tycoon ha ha funny you mentioned the words "who cares". Quick funny story, a group of my best buds from my old neighborhood had came up with the idea of making that term their motto a few years ago. Whenever I would complain about something (mostly job related)...

    figured I'd swing by with another update! I've been sick for a few days, had something like the stomach flu, which sucked majorly. Anyway, no sales yet, but that is expected when starting a new venture. On the plus side, the site is still getting steady traffic, and has actually increased...
