    Should I Buy a Business? Is it Cheating?

    HOT! 
    Yes, he signed a non-compete agreement. I haven't spent any time investigating what we would do if he violated the agreement. It's not something I am worried about happening (we have a lot of goodwill between us plus he's moving onto things he's more excited about) and if it did, I'm not sure I...

    Should I Buy a Business? Is it Cheating?

    HOT! 
    I know, it sounds a bit crazy! The few months is now a year and I guess the answer is that I had it in the back of my mind all along that I would like to buy a more established business. In a way it seems lower-risk to me, as there is already such a strong foundation and the products have been...

    Should I Buy a Business? Is it Cheating?

    HOT! 
    Thanks, PRO2018. We did the due diligence ourselves. The thing about an SBA loan is they do due diligence as well to approve the loan, so it would be excessive to hire our own third party IMO. I've also heard horror stories of deals breaking down because of the due diligence company eroding the...

    I haven't heard these particular names but I will look into them. Thanks for the recommendations! Most of my information comes from podcasts and articles/blogs!

    Should I Buy a Business? Is it Cheating?

    HOT! 
    Hi Joel, thanks for checking in on me! Due diligence phase ended a while ago, and it is a truly solid company. Now it's been a matter of "hurry up and wait" with the SBA loan- going on 3 months of waiting for the loan approval! I wish I had known how long that takes, but I believe we are in...

    [Progress] Sanctus Nutrition - Supplement Company (and first real entrepreneurial pursuit)

    NOTABLE! 
    One other thing I would say is that what sold me on your product is the low caffeine. Maybe you should emphasize that more- a lot of people work out at night. Have you tried running some ads with only that point on them?

    NOTABLE! 
    I'm sad to hear things aren't going well! I didn't read through the replies so maybe someone suggested it, but have you tried using influencers? There are so many potential influencers in your niche that I imagine you could find someone with a large account that would push your name a bit if you...

    Thankfully I was still on here to see what you said (trying to figure how to delete my account...not sure there's an option besides de-activating all the notifications etc.!). What you said was incredibly wise not to mention kind. I never thought about it that way but you're absolutely right...

    My mistake. I misread one of your original posts and thought you had edited the "stay the hell away from feminists" part, then noticed every post has been edited. I didn't take the time to analyze the before and after and assumed you'd listened when I said it made me feel alienated. LOL. Sure...

    @Kak I just noticed that you edited all your comments to make them less incendiary and I do appreciate the effort.

    ...and I should add, to further that point, that it really had nothing to do with it me being my personal view. If he'd said "stay the hell away from" any group of women- Republicans, bisexuals, Jews, Russians, whatever, I would've called him out on it especially if was something I'd seen said...

    Actually, his exact statement was, "stay the hell away from feminists". Let me ask you- do you not find that a ridiculous statement? And is using terms like "lesbianic" respectful to anyone? If it had been the first post on this forum mocking feminists, I would have let it slide. I completely...

    Lol, yep, I knew you'd come in for a personal attack even though you claimed I personally attacked you (and I didn't). If there are less of them here it's entirely possibly it's because they feel unwelcome. And I did explain in my reply to Vigilante why feminism is important to me. I know too...

    I ignored your claims because you were the one who, in the first place, twisted the point I was trying to make into a discussion on feminism. The point, as I've restated in several ways now, is that your bash was neither necessary nor fact-based. Instead of giving a positive contribution for the...

    Please show me where I said anything about women in general (besides saying his post was disrespectful to women, I'll give you that one)? I was talking specifically about people (not just women, of course) who consider themselves a feminist. It's only Kak who has painted me as equating woman and...

    It's not my responsibility to educate you (or anyone else on this forum) about things you could answer for yourself in 5 minutes on a search engine: LMGTFY As I said, I didn't come here to waste energy on debating and explaining the nuances of feminism. Your education is your own responsibility...

    Oh, so you meant it as a compliment? Don't play dumb; your use of the term was rude toward multiple groups. You're welcome to date whoever you like and I could not care less about how you narrow down your dating pool. The point is that this is not the first thread on here where someone (or...

    Using terms like "lesbianic" to disparage an entire group of people is not only ridiculous but hateful toward people who happen to have a different viewpoint. It's funny how someone saying things like, "I’m disagreeing with the man hating, lesbianic, reverse (it shouldn’t even have to be called...
