Yeah. Roll up the check and use it to snort something harder to really make the point.

Do they come in Jagermeister?

The only way to prove you are a true engineer is a video of you driving your train.

I second this.

Careful of patents. They are expensive, take a couple of years, and you have to reveal your recipe in its entirety to everyone.

#1 stumbling block to success in starting up for an individual is overcoming the inherent feeling of rudeness you have when you pitch. You have to have a drive to talk to the top person and you must be convinced that you are doing them a service by getting them to buy your product.

Alternatively, after figuring out pricing you find the people who are selling similar products in the market and propose they sell yours AS WELL but you will revenue share with them. You have a base cost to cover expenses and then you split anything above it 50/50. That’s good motivator for the reseller and you don’t have to do direct sales.

If you aren’t priced out of the market then you contact your target audience again and find out what would make them switch to a different product. Do that bunch of times. That will give you the info to make a sales pitch. Then it’s just a question of dialing for dollars and pitching everyone you can.

Then what I would do is call up someone from your target market and ask them where they get their current product. You can make up a story about doing an independent film project or something. Then check their pricing to see if you can actually buy it cheaper than the ingredients that it takes to make yours. They are going to likely have economy of scale so you want to make sure that if your stuff is more expensive you know by how much.

Are you trying to just pick up a quick $50 or looking to get into selling it for dependable income?

You could put yourself as you had a head wound and go into the theater and ask for the manager. If he asks if you’re injured say something like “if it fools you up close then think of how real it would look on stage.”

I’m consideration of your duties I stipulate that you elegantly restated your 2nd comment.

I disagree with it vehemently, compare you to a unpopular historical figure, and end with an ad hominem attack including sexist profanity.

No you weren’t. You were basically being Hitler.

The fact that I was arguing with you online about how people shouldn’t argue online was intended to be ironic.

I disagree. Any time spent arguing on the Internet is a waste. You are wrong to even passively condone such behavior. You are basically Hitler.

Ah. There we go.
