No one wants to pay attention to this post. Either deal with it, or be ready to contribute through the link. Someone has to pay for bandwidth, and to quote Req from the other site, FOH was the equivalent of HIV because of all the porn. No legit advertisers would touch it.

I learned a lot from his original book, things that influenced me to go out on my own. 1- The biggest being the picture of being in the rat race versus leaving it 2- Living below your means to be able to get where you want. Eventually, while working for someone else, we saved 55% of our...

I have an ipod/iphone/ipad, but I don't see how I could call myself a gamer with any sort of Mac PC.

What? I missed that. Doing my research, I see he likes Amway. I never looked at Rich Dad/Poor Dad as a direct system to make money, it was more of a way of thinking. I've not read anything past the first book, that was enough of a starting point for me. I took it from there, when he...

The Pats need to lose to restore balance to the Force.

At 7 and 2, they are too young for Mortal Kombat.

It's annoying to go into the mancave and find them playing my PS3. I got them a Wii to keep them in their own room.

Epic pic of these guys meeting 90 minutes after the game. It'll be the last time they face off like this. I guess one of Peyton's kids took the pic from his phone, and didn't realize how epic it was.

Yay Ravens!

Um, they started the other game?

I hate to say it, but it feels like the replacement refs' level of quality.

Yup, and then he said that everything was different, because they just started a new game.

Isn't that Fox's M.O., with conservative play calling?

Aaaaaahhh

You aren't looking then. In college, I knew plenty of them (I lived in the honors dorm). Hell, go down to your nearest comic book store and strike up a conversation.

There definitely are ordinances in most towns/cities. So that artificially holds down supply, which causes a shortage, which boosts demand (and price). I'm surprised, but billboard is definitely picking up traction, now that I have more of them and they are tying into my yellow pages ads.

I don't have all the info in the world, I just spend a lot more time looking at this stuff than other people do. It's ironic, 70% of the calls that came in today are billboard related. Anyway, stay the hell away from electronic and tri-vision boards if you can. You are paying the same rate...

Why are we talking about manga here? Also, Avengers Arena is fun to read. But they'll kill any of those characters off on a whim.

As long as it isn't Mortal Kombat or a shooting game, I don't care what they play. I played videogames at their ages, and didn't turn out to be hyper violent. We talk about games, and how they are make believe.

I think I'm going to re-up my contracts with billboard. In talking with my estimator and Secretary, they tell me 50% of our customers are seeing us on them. A problem with billboard is tracking sales directly to them. People tell us (when asked) that they saw us in the print yellow pages or...

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/advan...vertising.html Using the best practices are important. I did a lot of research on the best billboard design, and took input from the hosting company, who had their own creative. Some things I've found: 1- Use nine words or less. That's all the room...

I'm sitting here facing re-ups of my billboard contracts, and figure this would be a good place to talk about different mediums of letting customers know you exist. Probably the most difficult thing in business is managing your demand. Cut all the costs you want, but if you don't have sales...

Yes, but I never make decisions based on a tax burden. Like Robert Kiyosaki says, make your money and then worry about paying the taxes later. But, based on how things have been going in the last year, and how much stronger Winter is for us, with all of the new advertising iniatives I have...

So here is the answer I got back from my CPA on switching, and I said, it's more complicated than one would think. Trading my 401k was the only way I could have come up with the down myself, so it had to be done. When we did it, my lawyer and another CPA were able to put my 401k in a trust and...

When we are on, there are usually four or five other sponsors. But you are right, the sponsorships are limited in time, and they go quick. It almost makes the NPR spots more valuable. The HHI of this customer is like 90k a year average, so it's wanted. All I know is that, in terms of...

What's funny is that my NPR sponsorship is dry, yet brings me 4-6k a month in sales. Since it is government owned, there are rules. All I can say on NPR is what my company does. I can trace more sales to NPR than to any other radio station, where I'm allowed to have more leeway and a call to...

The funny thing is, newspaper is by far my cheapest way to generate closed deals. I'm paying $10 per closed deal in the local service directory of the newspaper, versus 40-80 for customers from other sources. The important thing to remember is, you aren't marketing to yourself, you are...

I'm not real proud of the results radio is giving. I changed my ad to 60 seconds, and put in some horror movie music to get people's attention. Call volume is up, but it's coming from repeat and referral, phone books, billboards and Internet. They say it takes time to get people to respond to...

I still get that now, and I've been profitable for years. At the end of the day, min/maxing your business holds much more allure than min/maxing your toon. When things are going right, you feel like a genius. I've promised myself to take more time for entertainment (but also to work harder)...

I made one on the other sites. Hyperspin is nirvana for me.

I still fail to see the logic of putting him in at the first playoff game, given how much faster people play in the playoffs. They should have gone with Ponder. Can anyone tell me the coach's point of view on this?

Yay. Corndog, please keep us posted on what's going on, congrats on living out your dream. Remember that your level of focus determines your reality in business.

I'm gonna say that All New X Men continues to delight.

It would be great to know what they are doing. I wouldn't be butthurt if they showed them all over the course of the year.

Long story short, an ex-employee was fired for meth use, he retaliated by breaking in to the trucks and stealing 4k in equipment. This forced us to move to a secured lot, that is closer to our service area, and we are saving big time for it. So this turned out to be a good thing, as it was...

Her name is Newvia.

If you are playing an MMO, and the only reason you are staying is for same gender romance, it's time to reevaluate.

And I'd love to see the stats on how the good managed funds did over that time period. I know they all took a hit with the SLC crisis and the gas problems with Jimmy Carter, and that skewed results downward.

Holy crap. In the two months that we moved our trucks, we've saved $2,500 a month. It moves us closer to our operations, and it puts us closer to 80k people that we've been ignoring (so more work). It's a win-win. Also, these are our slower months, it's just going to get better as we get...

Look at that chart.
