@lxeagle17 @BlackKnight10k There are a large number of people in this country that wake up every day looking for something to be mad about. That's the whole issue.

@nikitabier How much $? When i was broke with a newborn I went to a Goodwill store, posted their furniture on Craigslist at 200% of their price, and sat in the parking lot til I had a buyer. Usually made ~$100 after work and before dinner time every day of the week.

@growing_daniel Yes and (counterpoint) I never saw my parents fight & I'm now conflict averse to a fault. I didn't experience watching adults resolve disagreements & go on loving each other. I am glad they didn't fight in front of us because its better than the opposite. Still some downside.

@oldenoughtosay A patron insisted he paid with a 100. Bartender "Charles I swear he paid with a 10." Charles pulls 100 out of the register, hands it to patron, and says "get the #### out of our bar and don't come back." Then went back to his office to place the produce order.

@MrKyleHenderson You mean the same Kansas State team that has fewer losses than the LSU team that beat Bama. And the TCU team that has fewer losses than Bama itself. You guys are hilarious. The internet is laughing at you. At least Vols fans (still better than Bama) have some dignity.

@TaliaGold @Reddit Surprised to see so many negative replies. I've had as many as 4 FT jobs at the same time throughout the last decade & rarely fewer than 2. I've always told the boss and said "judge me on my work." And all of them have been happy. My job is Colin, Inc. The rest is details.

@BiasedHouston 1. U assume those picks had a market 2. U assume the players weren't given a shot. MAYBE the team had them graded a certain way pre-draft and they DIDNT meet expectations. 3. U assume this isnt doing the agents a solid for future consideration. All of you assume alot.

If you want to start a company and have no idea what to sell, sell time. Sell writing blogs or walking dogs or cleaning data or picking up laundry. The fastest way to start a business that makes money is to sell time.

Don't ever refer to something someone else is doing as a "side-" item. Hustles, businesses, music/band, art...a lot of people believe their future is in what they are doing in their off-hours. The 9 to 5 is the "side" item, not the other way around.

@JHTScherck Organic content needs to be a part of a broader strategy and NOT the lead part, sad as that is. Content should support the buyer's journey just like social. SEO as a way to generate meaningful pipeline on its own is a thing of the past.

Hiring smart/experienced people and telling them what to do is a waste of money. Hiring smart/experienced people and telling them the outcome you are after is the best time and revenue ROI available. I can't think of anything with greater spend:value variance in business.

The adage of "if you are still doing all the work you've created a job, not a business" is a disservice to many builders. First, most builders that I know don't really want to remove themselves & give up control. Second, what's wrong with creating a job you love for yourself?
