    About to pull trigger on some Cisco POEs but want to make sure they are unclaimed/have license attached to them. Cisco was of little help. I have the numbers if anyone has the access.

    Love and Money?

    When you have depth, love combines easily with money. You lack depth which is why you keep running in to the same "girls" Learn the lessons to build your depth or learn to enjoy the shallow existence. Either way works. If you want to build depth, you will need to drop your acts and expose...

    We Built & Sold A Website For Over $690,000 in Under 2 Years. Ask Us Anything!

    An aside... When I started framing outreach as relationship building EARLY in the site building process, it made a noticeable difference. Not only in my stress levels but in the strength of relationships. I now start outreach once I purchase the domain. Of course, this assumes one's site is...

    Wickedfire.com hacked?

    Lessons learned: If you find epic posts that are of help, SAVE THEM. If you write epic posts, Save and re-purpose them. If you run into epic people, contact and build a relationship with them. I have done well at the first two. The last one needs work. NEVER look back after you have analyzed...

    Goals for April 2016

    Ccarter, I have a few accounts on serpwoo. It is a tool that I do not share because of its power. I want to shout it out to the world but I like it not getting much press from the corporate people. AND it improves constantly. Well done.

    Goals for April 2016

    Winston Churchill. The gent was known for staying in bed with mild colds. Public be damned. Interesting person to look to if one wants to perfect an eccentric style of doing business. I learned fairly recently to perfect my way of being me. Took years for me to clear all my ridiculousness to...

    Do you guys go to the gym to cool off?

    I do at least 30 min of something physical ever day, 789 days in a row so far. No missing. Some days it is a battle. Quite the mind game. Outside of that, I do strength training 4 days a week and spend the other 3 days playing for an hour (tennis, ultimate Frisbee,hand-ball, whatever). It...

    I'm about to launch my startup and I don't feel good about it

    Hedonic-treadmill. Ignore your emotions. You will feel better when you have customers. Then you get to be excited about what matters: your product making people happy. You are confusing excitement about the "art" of your business with the business as a whole. If you want to be a continual...

    Speaking of Humblesalesman... He deleted all of his former posts. You fine people did save all that, yes? I picked up a thing or two from him. I like the guy's style. I have em all in a fat notebook.

    I have a confession.

    Your personal money is on you. I have no feeling about that. Yours to make and yours to keep. Most of us have been there (I have been to 8 figures multiple times and lost it all multiple times). Do what you want with your own resources. I winced when I figured out that I was a dick with...

    Do you have to be an expert in your niche to start a business?

    I posted this in the wrong thread. (Irony) From Paul Graham: "In practice 'sufficiently expert' doesn't require one to be recognized as an expert—which is a trailing indicator in any case. In many fields a year of focused work plus caring a lot would be enough." http://paulgraham.com/ecw.html

    Jan 1st Is Gone - Where are you at?

    My method is much the same. Dec 15-Jan 15 is spent reading, day dreaming, and reviewing my personal rituals and methods. I check for areas where I am bullshitting myself and correct. Also gives my brain a break. I continue with current plans but avoid taking on brand new ground level...

    Standards, process, and creativity via rigor

    Many of us have systems. A process which gets followed with a predictable outcome. The outcome being the endgame. Rinse and repeat. There are a few that turn the system into the endgame with the outcome being a small part of the process. How does this apply to the building of digital...

    I can't scrape shit (yet) - please advise

    Sounds like you are doing work, so props for that. You can tweak work to be smarter or better. You can't tweak a "bunch of nothing." I scrape with python. Started out just like you. Broke and doing this stuff in my off hours. Keep at it. Once you figure out how to do something, turn that...

    Keeping Your Sanity

    Akin to business level drug dealers who get hooked. An extreme metaphor but same touch point. Your concise reminder is true, however.
