A couple of other things. If you get investors to invest in your company, let's say hypothetically they invest $100,000. It is crucial to use a good portion of it for marketing - do not neglect marketing costs in favor of product or op

Sorry you feel that way. I admit I am extremely cynical of humanity. I don't necessarily only think this about the underprivileged. More like the uneducated and the credulous. This included all manner of Republicans. They put out confu

Right, doc, I understand what you're saying. However, 90% of those underprivileged people probably would not make the changes you suggest, even if they had $20 million in the bank. They would still just sit on the couch all day, except

I work only with small businesses and they don't hire people. For example, I'm doing a custom project for $6K. It will take me a few days, but $6K is much less expensive than hiring a full-time person for $60K or $100K or $200K or

Right. One other thing that people say is that they will have kids and leave part of themselves. Ha. Ha, I say. Your children have half, or .5, of your genetic code. Grandchildren have 1/4 or .25. Great-grandchildren have .125 of your

hmmm....I did the maths. $8.88 for annual domain name registration * 20,000,000 domain names = $177,600,000. Per year. That means year after year. $177 mill this year, $177 mill next year, and so on. Dude, if someone was giving YOU $177 mil

Yes, that is correct, but that is only an average, of course. There are many ways to break things down. When you look at industries, we find that in 2016, for example, beverage manufacturing has a .8% profit margin, grocery stores have 2.5%

Yes. Just got off the phone with your support this morning. It made the process so much faster and easier. Instead of spending 3 hours trying to fix it myself and reading countless search results, I got it fixed in 5 minutes. Never, ever wo

How do you deal with stuff that you are sh-t with? Are you upset that you are not on the NBA? That you are not a world-class oceanographer? That you are not an astronaut? You and are not mediocre with those, we are downright failures. Maybe

I've lived in the Bay Area and San Francisco and around California for 40 years. And for 40 years, I have read this same exact sentiment every year. When I lived in SF, I found every sneaky parking spot in the city and always found par

It is very difficult thing to do. There are very excellent and very real completely logical reasons to be misanthropic. However, I think that the only thing that ever countered it for me is when I hung out with groups of people with great a

Wrong-o. There are people that simply are not capable. Not because of desire or attitude, but because of IQ, resources, connections, training, etc. And, there's only 1000 CEO's at the Fortune 1000. There are 330 million Americans,

You have to have something. Some reason. If you have a good reason, the truth is the best. But if you were in a drug rehab facility, for example, you don't want to say that. So if you can't say what you were doing, then you need s

brudgers is 100% correct. You have to happily design the same website over and over again for the rest of your life. The real issue is communication. Large companies will know what to do and how it works. But some companies who have never d
