    What to do while app is been built?

    EXECUTION 
    I wouldn't start on another project. You don't want to overwhelm yourself with too much. If you are stuck on what to do with your current project I would sit down with a pen and a notebook and brainstorm. Write down any weaknesses you think you may have with your app. Then attack it from there.

    Customer Appreciation Cards, Help!?

    I remember MJ talking about CD baby. I was trying to be a bit over the top with it. With my shelves I have already incorporated free shipping and all the necessary tools to hang the shelf. I studied my competition before hand for about a month so I could skew value in several areas. This is just...

    Customer Appreciation Cards, Help!?

    Okay so I put up some of my products on the internet a few weeks ago and am starting to see some sales. I want to provide a world class experience to my customers so one little thing I can do is write hand written thank you notes. I wrote a general thank you note that I can twist around to suit...

    The Benefits of College (other than making you more likely to get a job)

    HOT! 
    I don't want to hurt anyone. It may be just the internet but I care about people I have never even met. I hate to see other people hurt and if I cause suffering whether accidental or intentional I have to own up to it and try to make it right. I'm not anything special but if you think you would...

    The Benefits of College (other than making you more likely to get a job)

    HOT! 
    I got out of poverty already. Not rich but not poor. That is just what I thought college was when I first started. You are correct, I should have a better attitude. I'm sorry you had to deal with my negativity. Plus the OP asked for benefits and I fire back with being negative. I apologize to...

    The Benefits of College (other than making you more likely to get a job)

    HOT! 
    Before College I liked computers. No... I loved computers. I would spend hours with Python and Blender. Just making silly games and doing architectural design. Long story short I went to college to be a programmer. Really can't stand computers now but they are part of the modern age and aren't...

    Is Marriage Part of the Script?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I see marriage as a partnership. It is giving before you take. I am happily married to a girl I first met in middle school. If it wasn't for her and my kids I probably would not care what I do in life. My family gives me a sense of purpose and even though marriage was a tradition born out of...

    Hello Hugh, It is nice to meet you. Thanks for reaching out to me. It is always a pleasure to speak with a like minded person. I am pretty swamped on the weekends but I will message you as soon as I can. I just can't promise how quickly I will reply. I am very interested in hearing about your...

    How Do you deal with people?

    PEOPLE 
    I source lumber for local craftsmen. I make and sell products myself but my main area is sourcing lumber and exotic hard woods. Most of my products are higher dollar but I have recently added some cheaper options into my mix. Most people I deal with own small custom wood shops and they are...

    Good for you! Getting angry at the system and realization is one of the first steps. Take this epiphany and do something with it. Good Luck!

    Critical Thought Is How You Make Your Own Luck

    MINDSET 
    So just a few days ago I posted an introduction and at the end was whining about not having any sales for the past 3 weeks. Well I have spent these past few weeks working on my marketing, sales and designing my ads and studying the human psychology behind the buying process. It seemed no matter...

    How Do you deal with people?

    PEOPLE 
    Love the analogy! I certainly see what you are saying. I will choose to put on my hazmat suit and just remember from now on that not everyone can handle the daily rigors of life so they lash out. It is my job to listen to them because I am the one that chose to interact with them.

    How Do you deal with people?

    PEOPLE 
    I love dealing with civil people! My repeats that acknowledge the golden rule are my favorites. By acting right I am inclined to give them more value! I have one customer (or as I consider him a friend) he buys from me every few months. It is always a delight dealing with him and I will give him...
