    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I know it is frustrating and that it hurts your pride, but this is a classic 'benefits vs disadvantages' or 'lose the battle but win the war' scenario. You just need to turn off your emotional side of your brain and think with your rational side for a moment considering how much you have learned...

    Okay, your less informative first post made me believe otherwise. Your comment is noted.

    Colrectal Stage 3 cancer.

    Are you actually trying to make a troll post in a fighting cancer thread? Alot of us have had friends and/or family go through this fight, and it's serious business. I think we all support Tidbit in his fight, and would want to try to help him (or others going through it) in any way needed as (I...

    ReRolled Minecraft Server III

    I dont mind the bosses, but that dragon flying through/attacking through solid rock is a slight annoyance(EDIT: because I'm not strong enough to kill it !)

    That ender dragon in question is not nice :P It can fly through the mountain which is at the (current) end of that minecart track.. Someone go on a quest to slay the mighty Dragon! Again .. Now in the real world!

    Rogue Legacy

    I had fun playing through it (with keyboard)! The gameplay is mostly very addictive, but also somewhat tedious and repeatative at times (grinding <3). Overall, it's a fun game with good game progression where the upgrades greatly impact your in-game performance, chances of progressison and...

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    Can you see your company growing too big locally? Ie, there is not enough work to sustain your workforce? Or are there other cities/towns/areas close to your own area that could easily be serviced by expanding with a smaller sub-branch?

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    What's your ETA on finishing (building) the store? I understand that you and your knowledge is a huge factor in retaining customers, but wouldn't a half built store at least increase the likelyhood of first time customers not coming back?

    suround sound amp

    I agree with the brands having been recommended so far. On a related note, i never had any issues with my own Denon receiver in the five years I used it. I would really recommend putting the 500$ compared to the 300$ into the receiver. Not knowing what specific models you are considering (or...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    The past few pages of this thread have been like a bad 'Clash of the Fanboys, HD edition' movie script.

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    Keep your SKUs to what your customers want/profitable to sell, not what you can generate a measly yearly $1200 from. Also, won't it make your store potentially more cluttered and alter the shopping experience? Edit: 50% useful products, 50% garbage, seems like a nobrainer to me :P

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I just don't enjoy the (paranoid?) thought of having NSA peeping on me 24/7. If I were that voyeuristic there are a lot more interesting options out there.

    Adventures with Lyrical: Buying a Business (REPOST)

    I agree to the points made about potential loss due to work overload, especially when you have increased advertising budgets and getting higher call numbers. All those (potential/missed) clients watching/hearing your ads will be put off by not being serviced, or not even been given an estimate...

    Call them. Call them again. And again. If they don't fix it, then go to their site, and push them to finish it.

    A general advice would be try to avoid court. As of now the focus is mainly on them blaming you and claiming you for money. I don't know the whole situation, but rather try to turn it around: show them the letter from the gate company stating that their gate was broken. So, first of all you...

    This. If anything, hiring someone that you don't know might be better than hiring someone you know. Personal and work relationships don't necessarily mix well in my experience, and it is easier firing someone random than your BFF if needed.

    I wouldn't characterize this is a problem, unless it impacts other important areas in life such as your relationships, or health. It's a good sign that you are invested in your own business, and it will increase the likelyhood of success. I think a high percentage of entrepreneurs are borderline...

    China

    In my experience a tourist visa can be extended two times of 30days. You will need to provide proof that you have 100 USD/day living/travelling expenses at your disposal. I've done this in Guangdong a few times. Edit: Location.
