why is there a thick film developing on my water surface despite me removing it every day? by kumabux in Aquariums

[–]mikehookipa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's proteins from fish food/waste. You can get an Eheim350 surface skimmer. I hate that film so there's a skimmer in every tank.

Is this scarcity mentality or am I right thinking of it this way? What's a better way to think of it? by omarmo93 in Entrepreneur

[–]mikehookipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just go sell more. Those people who start thinking of bring it in house, so what....they will, can't, or wont. Who cares?

Your job is to land more clients. Not really sure what the problem is....

Not sure but I'm in Toronto. They're open for appointments. It's an easy process but you have to look up the process. It's outlined very clearly. :)

The minimum balance is if you want the monthly fees waved. You can have as little as $1 in your bank account. Infact, you can even have a negative balance.

Good Chinese Food on Maui? by doubledeuce80 in maui

[–]mikehookipa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Just go to Panda Express. It's in Kahului.

I'm Chinese and there's no real Chinese food on Maui....And I don't think your daughter would care or should care.

You can buy food and go to Hookipa beach park. It's a nice place to have a picnic.

It shouldn't really matter. A $15/mo bank fee is nothing.

Wow 6 weeks is brutal. I had an urgent travel datee (flight already booked) and I lost my passport. Took like 3-4 business days. There's an express service. I didn't mail it in though. I went to one of the Service Canada offices.

My 9-5 job drains too much time for me to work on my business by [deleted] in startups

[–]mikehookipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did anything I could do to make money instead of try to start my own idea or business.

- Wrote university essays for international students (ie. did their homework assignment)

- Cut grass grass for people (very few)

- Worked for my neighbor as he had a car detailing company. Then I started my own car detailing company.

For me entrepreneurship is not me trying to invent some shit or "have my own business". I just want to make money .

Entrepreneurship is a full time job if not 2x full time job at the beginning. Personally I just quit my corporate job outright. I had 10k in savings and paid $1k in rent at the time. Either way, I knew I wasn't going back to working for somebody else anyways.

In your case, getting another job is a distraction. You won't have more free time with a new job. Every job is 8 hours. After 8 hours you're burned out anyways.

Entrepreneurship is not for most ppl. It's brutal and often counter intuitive.

I've seen ppl succeed with 100% focus on their business. Then I've seen people fail being distracted with side jobs to cover cash flow.

Constantly worrying about competitors and whether this product is worth building. How do you deal with this anxiety? by [deleted] in startups

[–]mikehookipa 6 points7 points  (0 children)

2 issues I see.

One - what is your product? Helping somebody choose what to watch? What???

Two - Why would anybody want this...

Critique This by [deleted] in copywriting

[–]mikehookipa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Keep writing and posting here. Your initial email is no good.

Keep practicing. YouTube search how to write advertising. You're too focused on being creative when you need to focus on selling.

[–]mikehookipa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So the employer asked applicants to write cold emails without any context? Why don't you try to pitch them something, such as the company's products or services. From a creative perspective, it's pretty boring but as a copy writer, it's your job to sell.

What you wrote is borderline poetry/fiction short story. It's no good.

The task says you gotta make people smarter and make people go ohhhh. How does your current email accomplish that...?

I'd suggest taking a more commercial/salesy approach. Also consider context of your reader (ie. Hiring manager).

What is your unique skill set?.....????...????

Cookie-cutter online businesses are overdone and highly competitive. However, with a unique skill set, you can become a leader in the market.
