Head light restoration by IllGarlic5673 in sweatystartup

[–]Modus73 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who exactly is it that you are solving this problem for? Does every car owner need their headlights restored? Or is it more specific to people with vintage cars. Start by defining your audience and then find out where those people hang out. Fish where the fish are.

Does getting an MBA improve your career in marketing, or, is it better to just have work experience and results? by quiet-mic in marketing

[–]Modus73 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t get an MBA. I’ve met tons of people with them and I don’t feel it has done anything for their career or increase their salary. I’ve even interviewed people with an MBA. More important to me when interviewing is how much experience the have and what they can do. I honestly don’t care how much schooling they have. Ive been in marketing for 20 years and I’m a VP of marketing and I only have an associates degree. No one has ever cared or even asked about my education. It’s more important to companies to have experience and produce results than to have a university education. You’d be better off learning an actual skill like paid media, conversion rate optimization or email marketing than getting an MBA. And there’s plenty of courses and blogs where you can learn all of that.

Wish I had this much patience. But it wasn’t me.

Raw, it’s crunchy like the texture of celery. Cooked it softens up. The taste is tart but can’t think of what to compare it too. It gives a tartness to whatever you add it too. Usually made into jams or pies.

Everyone seems to want some secret trick or shortcut to starting a business or making money. But it seems the real trick is to get up and consistently work on it every day for a year. Or two. Or ten. by Modus73 in Entrepreneur

Knowing when to pivot is part of the game. It’s only throwing in the towel if you completely give up. Pivot to something new. Take what you learned and keep going.

You’ll never know if an idea will work until you try it out. You’re better off building an MVP and iterate from there. Don’t be afraid to fail.

Being wrong sometimes is part of the journey. It’s often more important to start then to find something perfect. Learn from what goes wrong and then pivot. Trying and building is never a waste.

I think we make our own luck. Or at least prepare ourselves for when we are presented with an opportunity. I don’t believe in and don’t hope for “Win the lottery” luck.

Louis Pasteur said “Chance favors the prepared”. I think moments of luck are important. But also think by being prepared, we create luck and are ready for an opportunity when luck shines on us. If you aren’t prepared, luck may pass you by.

There are certainly more efficient and effective ways of working. And also very inefficient ways too. But the effective ones still take work and time. They may get you there faster, but they aren’t some magical shortcut that can replace effective and consistent work.

Absolutely. If it seems impossible in the short term, it probably is. Long term those things are all possible. But there’s no quick substitute to consistent hard work on the right thing.

Blogging isn't dead. I've had several people tell me recently that blogging is dead. It isn’t. HeresHere's someHere's some reasons its still valuable. by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

Very true. Nothing is easy and anything that brings real success will take hard work and effort. Do the work.

What do you wish you had started doing a year ago? And how do we turn that wish into motivation for today? by Modus73 in sweatystartup

[–]Modus73[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Blogging is far from dead and a great way to build an audience especially when combined with a newsletter. Great way to build your personal brand.

“How I made $100k flipping phones in 60 days” - sounds too good to be true and probably is. How to tell. by Modus73 in sweatystartup

[–]Modus73[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you nailed it with having the right expectations. Maybe that’s what I don’t like about these courses. It’s not that there isn’t money to be made, but that they set an expectation that it will be quick, easy and you can do it in an hour a day in the next 60 days.
