what are you selling? what's involved in maintaining an amazon store?

2017-06-27 17:46:39 UTC  

I would consider selling your time in general to people instead of predone advice and just shilling Paypal donations or some other kind of e-welfare.

2017-06-27 17:46:43 UTC  

Imagine a talk show.

2017-06-27 17:46:50 UTC  

Maybe.

2017-06-27 17:47:22 UTC  

ultimately you want to develop a brand that's effective across multiple revenue streams

2017-06-27 17:48:30 UTC  

UOC I haven't yet done product research to ID the product

2017-06-27 17:48:42 UTC  

that's done more or less mathematically, not by starting with a "cool idea"

2017-06-27 17:49:10 UTC  

sure

2017-06-27 17:49:24 UTC  

i just didn't know if you were already selling units or were still in the planning phase

2017-06-27 17:49:47 UTC  

you should sell those fucking fidget cubes or whatever

2017-06-27 17:50:34 UTC  

oh man do you remember those keychains that were a cow or a pig that you squeeze and the brown rubbery insides bulged out of the hole in the ass to make it look like poop?

2017-06-27 17:50:43 UTC  

I bet someone made so much fucking money from those...

2017-06-27 17:50:46 UTC  

fidget spergers?

2017-06-27 17:50:50 UTC  

yeah dude

2017-06-27 17:51:26 UTC  

I'm busting my ass to be a doc and somebody probably called a bunch of chinese and made them make ten million pooping cow keychains

2017-06-27 17:51:37 UTC  

yeah

2017-06-27 17:51:55 UTC  

then while they are yelling at their impoverished workers over the cows not pooping correctly due to some problem, the other guy is getting rich

2017-06-27 17:52:12 UTC  

probably made 50 cents a piece on ten million pieces of landfill bait

2017-06-27 17:52:18 UTC  

I'm engaging on this cuz I'm interested for a lot of the same reasons you are and we're in similar positions. I can see that being a lawyer forever presents few benefits and a lot of fucking dead ends and stupid work

2017-06-27 17:53:05 UTC  

Have you ever read "Confessions of a Public Defender" @UOC?

2017-06-27 17:53:10 UTC  

No

2017-06-27 17:53:15 UTC  

what sort of lolyer are you

2017-06-27 17:53:33 UTC  

I help get green energy projects built in the US

2017-06-27 17:53:42 UTC  

oh neat

2017-06-27 17:53:47 UTC  

so you're already done and practicing?

2017-06-27 17:53:57 UTC  

I've been in practice about a year.

2017-06-27 17:54:17 UTC  

today I am in a special kind of misery that makes me more receptive to cooperation

2017-06-27 17:54:49 UTC  

I'm even trying to avoid using the condescending slang terms I have for everyone and everything

2017-06-27 17:54:57 UTC  

haha why's that

2017-06-27 17:55:04 UTC  

just some life stuff

2017-06-27 17:55:18 UTC  

word

2017-06-27 17:55:26 UTC  

are you familiar with the Red Queen's Race concept?

2017-06-27 17:55:57 UTC  

NOD recruits

2017-06-27 17:56:07 UTC  

vaguely

2017-06-27 17:56:18 UTC  

yeah, from Alice

2017-06-27 17:56:26 UTC  

that's what careers are

2017-06-27 17:56:43 UTC  

they are an energy sink where you pour all of your passion and energy into something only to have nothing substantially change about your life

2017-06-27 17:56:54 UTC  

it's like being on a treadmill with jail bars around it

2017-06-27 17:56:56 UTC  

That is what my girl hasn't really internalized.

2017-06-27 17:57:14 UTC  

which is why she doesn't get why I am obsessive about not spending money
