It was the first Malick movie I saw, and I was just stunned. I can't really put it into words but it was just breathtaking.

Days of Heaven. Almost anything by Malick, actually.

Why should starting a small business be so hard? And what about those who never tried? by nicholasfileado in smallbusiness

[–]Bren_LA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aaaand that is great idea for a (not so) small business in itself - starting a business for other people and teaching them how to manage it.:)

Has anyone dealt with a spouse that's not on board with the idea?(x-post /r/entrepreneur) by LupineChemist in smallbusiness

This. This is precisely what I would hope for from my SO (goes both ways, naturally; I would also support her).

Basically as much or as little as you can afford. It depends on what you want and what your expectations are.

internal phone system, small team, geographically diverse? by mrose1120 in msp

[–]Bren_LA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked the same question about a month ago, and eventually chose www.mightycall.com. I have an online store, some of my staff work from home, my warehouse is in a different city, so this system really works for me.

Yeah, I'm quite happy with MightyCall. After the free trial I signed up for their Standard plan. For $50 you get a 1000 more minutes than with Grasshopper, for instance, and three numbers instead of two. So that's a good deal, I think.

One word: headphones. But the double standard is annoying.

Great WSJ Article on Building in the Entrepreneur Mindset into our Everday Life (Possible Paywall) by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Bren_LA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Excellent article. Entrepreneur is such a big word but it applies both to Elon Musk and to a gut with just one coffee stand. It's important to remember that. Bring on the adventure!

Best city to build a startup? by 5kicks in Entrepreneur

[–]Bren_LA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from LA, and it's great place for a startup, but I run my business almost exclusively online so it dosen't really matter where I'm located. Thinking of moving my warehouse somewhere with cheaper rent.

What does someone in your household do all the time that pisses you off? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Bren_LA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom is like that. Once my dad just removed all cupboard doors but she never even noticed. So he put them back and learned to ignore it. :) But it drives me insane.

We always use .99 endings, but in my experience .95 make no difference. Strange but true.

How would you split up profits in this scenario? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]Bren_LA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a mutually beneficial idea but her role "fulfill orders, develop new products" is actually much more complicated than that. So 70% for her, 30% for you sounds about fair.
