    Vegan / Vegetarians Only (Chat about lifestyle, opportunities, food, whatever...)

    NOTABLE! 
    That's unfortunate to hear about the stores. I've been to Berlin a few times, but not since 2016.

    NOTABLE! 
    @Subsonic do you ever go to Berlin? The vegan options there are amazing. HappyCow has a nice list of over 100 vegan eateries. There is also the Veganz grocery store which is incredible.

    MARKETING QUESTION 
    does anyone in here have experience putting a product on a shelve of a grocery store or small shop? Yes, multiple. What did they ask for in order to have your product on the shelf? Depends exactly on what you are offering and who the buyer is. As you've noted, larger companies will generally...

    Unpopular opinion: tell people about your business

    PEOPLE 
    It depends on the business. Considering that you're selling food, that is pretty universal appeal since all humans eat food. I have many associates and friends who are also my customers or who own businesses that my business works with. If they are interested in the products I sell or they own...

    Thanks! I used a flat graver to remove material and create depth. The background was then stippled and blackened (I use Rustoleum flat black but there are plenty of alternatives).

    This is a Kershaw Chive knife that I engraved by hand (no lasers) and finished at the end of 2023. I started engraving in 2022 but haven't been able to devote much time to it. I am determined to devote more time to it this year.

    Your Biggest Lesson from 2023...?

    The Shortest Google Ads Tutorial Ever

    MARKETING 
    Thanks Andy. Is targeting the entire United States too broad if we are selling a niche product with a well defined, buyer oriented search term like the example you have shared? We ship nationwide so we would be happy to get traffic from anywhere within the country. The latest campaign that I...

    The Shortest Google Ads Tutorial Ever

    MARKETING 
    I had some campaigns going for my current business but it felt like we were getting way too many irrelevant contacts and paying for too many irrelevant terms. I also was not fully aware of all of the other things Google blows our money on. I learned so much in just 5 minutes (paused and replayed...

    Great post. Thanks for sharing. Agree so much and have put this into practice in my life. Even though my progress is laughable to others I still persevere and do my best every day. I've already done more business related things than most normal people will ever do in their life. I always...

    I have half a million liquid. Is there any standard business I can start that gets me 10% to 20% returns?

    INVESTING 
    I'm not recommending it. The point was to show that working full time in a business that OP has no experience or knowledge to MAYBE make 80k if he is lucky vs doing absolutely nothing to make 25k is not good. It was just the first example that I thought of. Of course there are many better...

    I have half a million liquid. Is there any standard business I can start that gets me 10% to 20% returns?

    INVESTING 
    You can easily get 5%+ from a CD in a year or less by doing nothing but depositing the money. ~$25k guaranteed for doing nothing seems better to me than working 2000+ hours and risking your $500k for maybe ~$80k if everything goes well. If you're willing to learn how to run a business and make...

    How Do I [NOT] Scale My Personal Training Business Significantly?

    GOLD! HOT! 
    I know several successful trainers who do very well online. None of them are exclusively online. I don't think any of them know shit about computer programming. All of them have other interests and they are active in local communities. I think it's a mistake to discount how many clients you...
