Last year, I made six-figures from consulting on the side (while I had a full-time job). Here's how I did it... I think a lot of "wantrepreneurs" overcomplicate the process of starting a business, and just throw up their hands because it can seem overwhelming and complicated. A lot of my work c...
There are always two ways to look at any opportunity: 1. It can't be done Vs Why it can't be done? 2. It ain't feasible VS What should be done to make it feasible? 3. Value Vs Profitability= How to achieve the critical balance? 4. Approach, just like David vs Goliath. Is it too big to hit or too...

Given that you are marketing your ability to build websites and mobile apps, your website lacks a lot of credibility as compared to other vendors offering similar services. A few specific examples: Links to what might be apps that your firm has previously built, link to almost illegible screens...
STOP. DO NOT DO THIS.... I would never want help from someone like you. Don't get me wrong -- you aren't evil (that I know about) but you don't seem have any value that I could pay for. What would you be "consulting" a CEO like me about? How do you expect to make my business better when you d...
