>this week Still waiting on the Afghan contract, we are in the final round of bids. Approached a niche investment advisory firm to offer to do some analysis work. Made an interesting contact (see below) >next week Contact the new lead, a Thai guy interested in importing exciting British startup tech products to Thailand. Have some initial ideas to send him to start understanding more about what sectors are of interest. Submit scholarship application. Look for more VCs/boutique investment firms.

This week.
Closed my business because I can get free money from scamerica
Bought pajeetcoin. It works with proof of poo and it is the next breakthrough in distributed scam technology.

What sort of drinks? What sort of business model? There are a couple of guys that post here about their being businesses. Our I used to do a lot of threat analysis in fmcg, so can talk a bit about soda/soft drinks.

Excellent choice and excellent bump

Bumping with a business studies question. Inventory is easily defined for businesses that sell goods, it's the physical product you produce and sell. This was the model of a standard business for centuries and a lot of useful concepts like overage/underage costs etc were developed to fit this.
Now that services are an increasingly important sector, how should we think about the concept of 'inventory' in this context? Is the common 90's approach of treating customers/clients as your inventory valid in this context?

When I drive through through the ghetto I see those little signs like people use for election candidates but for nigger “clothing lines”. Each yard with them has a different “clothing line” so I assume it’s the ceos section 8 apartment.
Do you have any problems with professionals getting back to you? I sometimes wonder if people don't take me seriously as well, I'm pretty small and look pretty young, I'm waiting on some consultants to get back to me with reports so I can submit approvals and they seem to disappear after a few weeks of chasing them up, my old boomer dad gave it to me straight and said I need to get some balls and just confront them and ask if they can do it or not, but the industry is absolutely flat out at the moment and I can understand why the small timers aren't getting attention.
I have had success before with just accepting a failure rate, I cold emailed about 10-20 people with some real low ball offers with nothing before I had the actual CEO of one company return my call with a pretty good deal, but going back to what i said before he seemed pretty suprised when i showed up and asked how old I was and what I did for a living.
