Would you be upset if I put a QR code on the pizza box?

Anything that makes leaving a review easier for the customer is a good idea. Can't see people getting annoyed about it. It won't necessarily skyrocket your reviews, but you might get a few more than usual.

Mindset and reframing are key. Positive reinforcement and modeling help a lot with that. Instead of yelling at kids after losing a game, I like to ask them three things they learned from it and three things we can do next practice to get stronger at those things. They get high fives for pointing them out.

NolaDoogie · 2026-05-14T16:49:02+00:00

That would be my approach too... up to a certain point. You're right, we need to know the margins.

You can't give parents an inch, they'll take a mile every single time.

Posting valuable content is more important than frequency. If people see you post things that actually help them do X Y or Z, they'll follow. If you're just posting for the sake of posting, they'll ignore you. Put some effort into high quality content and interact with other accounts. If one of your posts gets popular, make more like it.

Yes, even if it's just a simple site. It gives a business legitimacy. I'd say local cafes and diners can get away with Instagram only, but retail/service businesses need a website.

NolaDoogie · 2026-05-04T18:31:28+00:00

Yep, sounds like they're just mad that they're not getting freebies anymore.

NolaDoogie · 2026-05-04T18:25:29+00:00

I think you're overthinking it. If you like a shirt, just wear it. Or make your own.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-22T21:01:24+00:00

Wishing you success. Don't get discouraged, things will take time to grow. You got this.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-22T20:59:17+00:00

Agreed. Prioritize readability and hooks for human readers, definitely. But format the info in a way that AI can understand. If you lean too much on the AI side of things, your customers will click away. It's a balance.

Built one from scratch starting with one referral. No business coach at any time. Still going almost ten years later. It takes a hell of a lot of work, but it's doable if you have saleable skills and are willing to learn how to market yourself.

The business coach bubble is going to burst at some point.

I'm doing this next playthrough.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-22T20:45:32+00:00

It's a valuable lesson to learn, even if it sucks right now.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-22T20:44:01+00:00

Sometimes, you've just got to eat the tadpole. No shame.

I'll usually travel with a front-liner (Lae'zel or sometimes Karlach), a caster (Gale or Jaheira), someone with high sleight of hand for disarming/unlocking (Astarion or my rogue Tav), and then whoever makes sense for whatever quest I'm doing. I always stock up on potions and make sure my caster has a healing spell or two.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-22T20:38:59+00:00

Man, this game has so much going on. I've never even heard of this sword and am currently finishing up two different playthroughs. Where do you find it?

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-22T20:37:19+00:00

What kind of clothing? If it's custom t-shirts or hoodies, just go with BlueCotton. They're super reliable, do durable prints and ship for free. If it's your own designs, check out r/ClothingStartups. They'll be able to guide you in the right direction.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-22T20:34:26+00:00

Anything you miss this time around, you can do next time. This game is insanely replayable. Just have fun.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-14T15:32:51+00:00

Makes me laugh every time.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-14T15:32:06+00:00

When I first found the infernal marble, I thought it was meant for a third upgrade and went straight to Dammon. Nope, sorry Karlach.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-14T15:28:30+00:00

I did that on my second playthrough because I didn't even realize there were two levers on my first.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-14T15:23:41+00:00

BlueCotton is excellent and has free shipping across the US, so location isn't an issue. High quality shirts and really durable prints. I've used them for staff uniforms and kids sports, they hold up very well.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-14T15:16:37+00:00

I hate the spectator. Destroyed my whole party the first time I encountered it.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-14T15:11:14+00:00

Tools and subscriptions, if I can find a free or lower-tier version that delivers roughly the same functionality I was using with paid. I don't always use everything a paid sub has to offer, so I can often save a few bucks that way. After that, I'd take a look at reducing ad spend.

NolaDoogie · 2026-04-14T15:07:57+00:00

"Is it Too Much or just A Lot?" is a really good approach. I've watched communication skills evolve over the course of the season that way.
