    Doing a sales call for side hustle while working day job...tips?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Can you sell to any time zone? I’ve had to pull similar gigs off. I’m in EST so I could crank out like 2-3 hours of sales calls after work if I targeted the west coast.

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    I am strongly considering taking this on (talking to the Mrs about it tonight) but some clarifications about $5K in 90 days being "totally doable". I feel confident I could reach numbers like this if it was all I had going on (I've been doing sales for a minute) but is this a realistic goal for...

    CHECKLIST: How to Start a Digital Marketing Agency & Hit $5K in Less than 90 Days

    GOLD! MARKETING 
    This has been timely for me to discover. I currently work as a freight broker (middle man booking trucks on behalf of shippers) and I just... don't really like it. It's inside sales, primary very cold calling, and I'm realizing some big limitations. \ First of all, some guys are making great...

    GOLD! IDEA 
    Wow great tool. I have a couple would-be entrepreneur buddies I will have to share this with. I've been gently poking some holes at their ideas. It's a lot of fun though of course its biggest weakness is user error. I have submitted my idea twice, the first time I got a B+, and then after...

    It's funny I saw this post, I was considering posting something on this topic myself. I have a long history with this. Even as a married man. It has broken my wife's heart and made me feel weak, impotent, and debased. I would confess to my wife, feel tremendous shame, and the vow to myself I...

    How to deal with family and business?

    PEOPLE 
    As a man with a wife and three kids (one of them a newborn) I’m deep into figuring out how to balance work and family. And YES I did say balance, regardless of how much of a dirty word some entrepreneurial folks consider “balance” to be. Couple things that have helped me: - Build a life, not...

    Have Smartphones Destroyed Humanity?

    HOT! 
    Smart phones are a dramatic technology jump. Like all the technological jumps that preceded it, in it's early stages it has been misused and misunderstood . And we are still very much in the early stages. Most new technologies throughout history have had growing pains, folks inevitably fearing...

    Unsure of How I Should Be Spending My Time

    Don't take this feedback too rough man, and I say this with care, but how the hell is anyone on this forum supposed to know where you need to go from here? First of all, NEVER in your life should you be totally focused on reading. Like what would you even read? Reading should facilitate and...

    Progress 1. Just Gonna Start Cranking I hope I am not being too naive here, but I want to just go in and start the process of prototyping in the midst of continuously proofing it along the way. It's one of those ideas where it just feels "obvious". My solution doesn't fully exist and it seems...

    Sales job, low effort 9 to 5 and side hussle or direct startup?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Well I have yet to just jump into a startup without funding/income so I won't speak to that. I currently have a sales/business management job and the experience I have gained there has been invaluable. I work as a freight broker and it is a total grind. I operate with pretty broad range of...

    I Lost 12 Pounds in 2 Weeks by Only Increasing my Water Intake

    HEALTH 
    Let me start by confessing I had no intentions of trying to lose any weight. Honestly, I'm a naturally trim guy and nobody would have suggested I go on a diet. I did however go from 2 years of manual labor to 2 years of office work and had gained about 15 pounds in the process. Once again, I was...
