    Businesses You Should Avoid And Why

    FEEDBACK 
    There is always space for companies in an industry providing their customers with great products/services. There's so many companies out there that don't focus on the customer in each industry, that its really not that hard to stand out, and be better than most other companies. From what I've...

    How Do You Stay Sane?

    MINDSET 
    Whenever a problem used to arise for me in business, there would be no resting, and I'd obsess sitting in front of my computer till the problem was solved, and If I couldn't solve it right then and there, I would be a wreck. However I learned that doing that is not healthy, so I changed my...

    Surprisingly simple stupid businesses- that somehow work

    NOTABLE! IDEA 
    There's these guys I know, we talk a couple of times a month, but they run a service where they will take out, and pull back in elderly peoples trash cans for $10 a month. They target retirement communities, and older neighborhoods in general, and they're doing pretty good for themselves.

    I made a client $15,000 in 3 days doing what no one else will

    MARKETING 
    I have struggled for years in the Ecommerce space with building and scaling brands. I was never good at marketing, and have never had the budget to be able to pay an agency that knows what they're doing when it comes to ads in the social media, and google space. But there was always something I...

    I lost the purpose of reading books

    BOOKS MINDSET QUESTION 
    I usually like to read 3 books at a time: a business book/autobiography/biography for entertainment, a business book to solve a problem I'm facing at the time, and then my scriptures. But I agree, if you're only going to read one book, it should be one that is helping you solve a current...

    I'm Obsessed, and I've started seeing results because of it.

    MINDSET EXECUTION 
    I think I was bit by the obsession bug... At the beginning of December last year, I had an idea for a company come to my mind. An E-com venture firm that owns lots of E-com brands, and have those brands offer quality products, quality service, and quick shipping to our customers. Almost like a...

    Bringing Back U.S. manufacturing

    EXECUTION SOURCING 
    We are no longer looking to launch brands. I got tired of bouncing from idea to idea, and trying to find suppliers. I discovered a website called acquire, where people are selling their Ecom businesses. As I stated at the beginning of the thread, the plan for our company is to have tons of...

    Bringing Back U.S. manufacturing

    EXECUTION SOURCING 
    I agree, when I find a supplier, I'm going to request to check out their facility. I know it's difficult to find manufacturers in the U.S. for non food products. But theres still a few good companies here manufacturing goods. bringing back our raw material industries and machine building...

    Dating app for teens... Feedback on this idea?

    IDEA 
    I personally don't see the need for a teen dating app. The reason adult dating apps are successful is because of how busy we are, and its harder to meet people, because we don't have the institutions like schools, sports events, and extra curricular activities to meet new people. Teens are...

    Bringing Back U.S. manufacturing

    EXECUTION SOURCING 
    We were fooled... As per my first post in this thread, I own an Ecom company that sells high quality goods made in the U.S. So you can imagine my surprise when we opened up our inventory from the American supplier, and the products were stamped with the infamous "Made In China" Before we chose...

    Alcohol drinking habits

    MINDSET 
    Alcoholism is the most selfish habit you can ever have. I grew up with an abusive alcoholic dad who refuses to quit drinking and will die from it in a year or two. People who can't control their urge for alcohol are selfish, weak scum. It's not that hard to just quit drinking, if they cared...

    Bringing Back U.S. manufacturing

    EXECUTION SOURCING 
    I imagine companies are starting to realize its the smarter choice to manufacture those kinds of items here. Especially with the rising energy rates across the globe. Shipping things is getting more expensive. That's why Japanese auto manufacturers have started building plants here. As well as...

    Bringing Back U.S. manufacturing

    EXECUTION SOURCING 
    Exactly, I can see a turning point coming when consumers are tired of cheap, poor quality items. They'll start turning towards American made goods, which cost a little more, but last longer, and are higher quality. Also who doesnt want to support their nations economy as well.

    Bringing Back U.S. manufacturing

    EXECUTION SOURCING 
    I've had success at launching several Ecom products on amazon, and shopify stores. Just cheap little trinkets that don't really add much value, but people buy them. I have now turned my attention to a more sustainable business model, as well as something that matters to me... U.S. manufacturing...

    You don't need motivation if you have a motive

    IDEA 
    I see people in this forum, and the "entrepreneurship" and "hustle" community in general, asking and talking about how to keep motivation, and stay motivated to accomplish their goals. If you struggle with "motivation" then either entrepreneurship isn't for you, or you don't have a strong enough...
