Summary: TweetIf you feel like this, may be it is time to do your own thing. In episode 1487 I asked you guys what you wanted to hear about in the last regular episode of the year, the topic of low cost to start up businesses seemed most popular so, so be it. I am a little leery of doing this show, because the what of a business is actually less important than the why, how, execution and passion of a business. So I am going to ask you guys to do me a favor and use these ideas more as a think tank stye of things rather than, “Jack says these are good ideas”. In the end a business is about trading value for value, one need only do that efficiently and one becomes profitable.
