    Stuck between that rock and a hard place of the day job and what you want to do.

    I am sorry. This is mostly a rant. It is hard to convey thoughts with people that truly understand, and I am sure I am not the first nor the last who has been in a similar position that would like to share. The position: Your day job taking time away from the business you want to succeed but...

    To loan or not to loan?

    I have had a little over $100,000 in revenue my first year for my brick and mortar. The company usually pays for itself, but that is obviously not the point to having this adventure. When I had no other source of income, I had to pay myself to pay personal bills when I should have saved the...

    Anyone tried advertising on a Smart Car?

    MARKETING 
    I have seen several companies buy a Smart Car and put a full advertising wrap on it essentially turning it into a small rolling billboard. I was wondering if anyone has tried this and if you have noticed any additional inquires/business.

    Is there anywhere a list of the books MJ mentions in Unscripted? Sadly, they are not listed in the back of his book. Every so often he mentions a book that is a great read that I also find interesting, and I always tell myself I'll get back to the page but then dont get the chance to do so...

    Best way to get your site up in Google search?

    MARKETING 
    So I am no website coder, but I know how to use Muse fairly decently and have used GUI based site builders in the past. I made a website for my uncle's diesel shop back in the early 2000s. Back then when Google's rules were a little slack I was able to put a war and peace sized paragraph of...

    Thin line between Consignment and Investor?

    Do you feel there is a thin line between these two terms? Someone who has put up the money to own an item to provide to you as inventory to sell in your store which you will get a % of the sales price vs someone who provides you with funds for purchasing inventory. The obvious difference here...

    Ever fake it till you make it with your website?

    MARKETING 
    Ever fake it till you make it with the number of products sold on your website? Say you are planning to sell about 4 or 5 products (until you expand), but you are only going to be able to start with 1 or 2. Personally, I feel the site only showing 1 or 2 products is going to look weak. But...

    I hate how I would sometimes start reading a book just to have real life get in the way and not allow me to finish it in the time I had expected causing me to forget certain key points.

    Hi all, When opening up your shop for the first time, how much cash do owners usually have to pay the lease for x number of months if there is zero income? I find it hard to think I would have zero sales for a few months since I know the product and have done so for another, but Id like to...
