    Start School to Develop Entrepreneurs

    Udacity has a great free course on How to Build a Startup. Not entirely sure that is what you're looking for, but I found it highly valuable (and you can't beat the price!).

    Selling products to the military.

    NOTABLE! 
    I haven't actually heard of that before now. I'm wondering if the program I submitted my proposal to is within the OTA. The entire process from bid submission to contract award is only one month. I'll know if I'm invited to the next stage by this coming Friday. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using...

    Kudos to Mile for starting this thread. I just submitted a proposal to the Air Force today because I was inspired by your story. Just goes to show how helpful this place is! Sent from my SM-G950U1 using Tapatalk

    How inspiring! Kudos!! I had never heard of the SBIR before and I'm glad I stumbled upon this thread because I'm now in the process of applying for a DoD contract. Thanks for sharing this with us so we can all benefit!

    Cryptocurrency a scam?

    CRYPTO INVESTING HOT! 
    There is no industry consensus so it makes it easier to use the commonly referred to terms rather than more technically accurate. Even the term blockchain doesn't adequately cover this market. I personally prefer distributed ledger technology, but it's a mouthful. Sent from my SM-G950U1 using...

    Cryptocurrency a scam?

    CRYPTO INVESTING HOT! 
    Very few cryptocurrencies are anonymous. In fact, it has turned out to be quite difficult to make anonymous yet verifiable transactions work properly. The entire premise of a blockchain is that you have an immutable and publicly verifiable ledger. In other words, anyone and everyone can see and...

    Web 3.0 (Ethereum) is happening, and most people have no idea what it even is.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Radix is a pretty neat project for a number of reasons. I agree with Dan Hughes (the founder) with respect to his assessment of the limitations inherent in blockchain technology. He certainly takes a novel approach with the "Tempo" construct. However, I have to wonder if he has sacrificed...

    Cryptocurrency a scam?

    CRYPTO INVESTING HOT! 
    These two posts are excellent examples of the misunderstanding and mystique surrounding blockchain. If you'll allow me, I'd like to make a couple of comments regarding each and follow up with my opinion as to the future. I understand the sentiment, but this is a great example of Utopian (or...

    Cryptocurrency a scam?

    CRYPTO INVESTING HOT! 
    Full disclosure, I am heavily involved in crypto. My Fastlane business is essentially selling shovels to the miners. You are smart to be wary. This is a VERY technical field which is extremely reliant on good code and smart business sense. The majority of people invested in crypto have no clue...

    What are some of the ways YOU gain CLARITY on complex decisions/problems?

    MINDSET FEATURED! 
    I have discovered over the years that people tend to adopt biases which blind them to a wider perspective. As such, we can rarely see an issue from enough vantage points to adequately solve it. The best solution I have found is to bounce off of my team. Everyone tends to see things from a...

    I get the long term goal thing, but daily goals? Hourly goals? Even monthly goals are a bit odd to me. Can you guys give us a couple of examples to get the creative juices flowing?

    What's your Lambo? (What are you working for?)

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    I figure everyone says freedom is their Lambo (and for good reason), so I'll just say ditto for that part. I'm getting pretty close to the point of not needing to work so now I'm looking to some of the things in life which will make it even more enjoyable. Not sure about you guys, but I HATE...

    Hmm... A very clear majority set monthly, annual, and lifetime goals. Does anyone else do this? In any case, it is interesting to see how the mind creates a barrier to success.

    Anyone else had a shittty/mediocre experience when getting design or creative work done?

    I've used Fiverr, Freelancer, DesignCrowd, and some boutique sites and have had mixed results as well. I would agree that the biggest disconnect is the lack of clear communication between designer and customer. Interestingly, I had a better experience when I had my website developed because I...

    How to Source Contractors

    Latest update: It dawned on me that the contractors I eventually select will have a very direct and dramatic effect on the outcome of my product. This caused me to pause and consider how best to make the selection. I thought I might share that process with the forum. It is quite apparent, if...

    Double the Pleasure?

    EXECUTION 
    I've got solid figures for taxes and insurance, but am essentially using industry averages for maintenance. I did estimate a little on the high side, but figure it should be okay considering that I'm basing my budget off a 15% vacancy rate. Most estimates put this number at 5%. But thanks for...

    Double the Pleasure?

    EXECUTION 
    :hilarious: I figure I'll be okay setting it up initially and handing it off to a management company since I'm basically sitting around twiddling my fingers with my other business waiting for them to ask me questions. Prototyping is a dreary process. If you've got any experience (i.e. tips)...

    Double the Pleasure?

    EXECUTION 
    I'm pretty sure I'm committing a major sin of entrepreneurial law by starting two businesses at the same time. But I'm okay with that because I'm an anarchist and I say f#$k the law! I had planned to start a quick thread on my new real estate venture, but wasn't sure if I should put it here or...
