Don't use Credit Cards said by Mark Cuban.

IMAGINE.
Just imagine you are the first subscription box in the world.
How would you market this?
Test. Test. Test. Test. Test again.

All Suki's pictures have to be SUBLIME, and IMMACULATE.
WetShaveClub has the best pictures.

Hi, 
I’m Rohan from Wet Shave Club.
We’re launching our men’s shaving box in a few weeks and would love you to take a look.
If you’re interested, send us your address and we’ll get a box in the mail for you tomorrow.
It was short, straight to the point, included a link to their website, and that was it.

Advice to His 25-Year-Old Self
“You just need to solve one thing at a time… Step by step, day by day, solve one problem and it all works out. But if you try to solve the whole thing before you even get started, you’re never going to get started.”
One Productivity Hack
If you feel stuck, or like you’re in a procrastination mode, set yourself a timer for 15 minutes.
If you stop after 15 minutes of working, that’s fine, but very often, within that 15 minutes, whatever feelings of procrastination or laziness you had are gone and you can push through and get quite a bit done.








But to boost their Instagram followers, they use a product called Instagress, which shows them people who use keywords that relate to their product, so they can follow and engage with those people in order to get a follow back.
The problem with these social media automation tools, says Rohan, is that the social media companies themselves could decide to suspend you for using them at any time. So use them at your own risk.
He advises to spend some time in the trenches building your following from scratch (2,000 followers worked for them) before you start automating.




1. Do something you love
2. If you got an exit strategy, it's not an obsession
3. Hire people who you think will love working there
4. Know how your company will make money and know how you will actually make sales
5. Know your core competencies and focus at being great at them. Pay up for people at your core competencies. Get the best.
6. Coffee is for closers.
7. Open office spaces.
8. As far as technology, go with what you know. If you know Apple, use it. If you know Vista, use it.
9. Keep the organization flat. If you have managers reporting to managers in a startup, you will fail.
10.  Don't send out logo embroidered shirts. Don't buy swag.
11. Don't hire a PR firm. Send messages directly introducing yourself and the company.
12. Keep a pulse on the stress levels and accomplishments of your employee.
Make the job fun for them.





Most people aren’t just willing to put in the time to work smart. Small businesses fail for lack of brains and effort, not lack of capital


If you start a business, you better know your industry and your company than anyone in the whole wide world
