    Okay. Thank you. I didn't even think of those reasons.

    AMA - I built a software company worth 8 figures

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION AMA 
    Ok I didn't know that. This topic come up in my email newsletter and was interested in checking it out. I have no idea what is it the insider forum. I don't subscribe to the insider, so I have no idea what is in there. I certainly appreciate a success story posting an AMA, though I still don't...

    AMA - I built a software company worth 8 figures

    GOLD! HOT! EXECUTION AMA 
    Considering you already have a successful business, what's with all the cloak and dagger? It's really interesting how you built the company but I'm even more interested in what the software is. By the sounds of how technical and difficult it is to make, why not just say what the company is? I...

    Interesting, I never would have thought someone would buy a box of rocks!?! I certainly don't understand why but hey I guess people will buy almost anything these days. Some popular online gamer girl/lewd video streamer was selling her used bath water online to her fans for $600 a bottle and she...

    Thanks for your reply. I do agree that my mind has been spread out. When it comes to anything outside of aviation, I no longer want to be an employee. I say that because if I want to continue flying I basically have no choice but to be an employee, and that's fine. Since writing that comment I...

    I previously worked for a small tourism based operator in northern Canada. During the main summer season we flew customers out to various hunting and fishing lodges scattered around northern Canada, only accessible by wheel plane or sea plane (I fly both). I would say at least 50% of our...

    Thanks for your words. My previous job as a pilot has potentially come back into the picture, which is a good thing. I haven't flown since October and it's not a skill I want to diminish...(I have invested $70000 in my pilot skills over the past ~6 years) One of the jobs I had applied for...

    Ask Me Anything - Facebook Ads [2M+ Ad spend]

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I'd like to start doing some facebook ad runs for my small business I'm trying to raise local awareness of. It's an in-home service so I really only want to target people in my local area. From my understanding, since almost no one knows I exist, I would want to do an awareness campaign? I...

    I mean I understand the portfolio of projects, but it's kind of a catch-22 there, just like people say about the general job market. "They won't hire me without experience, but how am I supposed to get experience when no one will hire me!" I will do some more organizing where I am living and...

    I'm not doing well with door to door. I was doing better but I'm not sure it's the right way to go. No one seems interested, so I'm either not selling my service right, or people just aren't interested. I think I need a different marketing strategy...or just a whole lot more time going door to...

    It really pissed me off being called an "action faker." Probably because you were right! It prompted me to get business cards made up same day service and walked around my neighborhood. I was really scared, because I've never gone door to door before. I approached houses that were for sale or...

    A new marketing tool I'm using with ridiculous ROI

    If you're saying it's not legal for the phone to ring, then the company mentioned by the OP is not legal. I went to their website and had a test message sent to me. My phone rang for about 2 or 3 seconds with "Private Number" showing up on my call display, the call ended, then I had a...

    Definitely. I don't have any family and just my 1 buddy in this city so that's a bit limited. But I definitely need to get out in the neighbourhood. I'm struggling with focus at the moment. I want to build video game assets with a 3D modeling software, so I've been working on that, as well as...

    Nope Checking the FB stats it says I have had some page views so that's something. Still working on how I can raise awareness of my services. I actually found another post on that kijiji classifieds website for someone offering organizational services, in my same city.

    I like where your head's at but I don't feel confident enough to offer something like that to a business. It makes me feel like I would b e way in over my head. As it sits, I am a very organized person in my own life but have not thought about how my own organization skills can transfer like...

    Thanks for the tips. I will start a facebook page and do some basic online marketing to see if I can get any customers. Maybe do some door to door stuff. I noticed while walking around the neighbourhood that a lot of people have some pretty bad looking lawns too, so that was something I wanted...
