Coke and other drinks solve the problem of thirst

That’s the thing bro, they don’t.

Coke dehydrates you more, all soda does lol.

What Coke sells is temporary refreshment.

People will also pay more for less quality over time, as well.

the other executives and myself work 60 to 80 hour weeks,

I always wonder how people do this and still have time for Reddit lmao.

Excellent post and those clips serve as brutal reminders that you absolutely cannot slip into casual mode when doing business. Get your fucking money, deliver the value agreed upon, and get the fuck out. Rinse and repeat.

No offense OP but even just reading this the entire thing sounded like a bad idea from the get-go.

However the quicker you rise to profitability the less stable your foundation is and the deadlier are any changes to the market.

This is 100% correct and an absolutely valid correlation that can’t be overstated IMHO.

Over simplified and easier said than done. More people would be doing what’s easy, that’s just the way it is. There’s very little out there that’s assumed hard but it easier than thought, waiting to be filled.

How does someone just have 30K but no way of getting it out of an account besides Square?

People like that are literally just projecting their own financial illiteracy/irresponsibility onto others that have it.

You NEVER sell on price. If a person is that price conscious, they are not a viable prospect and you move on.

Good luck with this attitude. I love how the “secret” is to act entitled to your price, as if that’s everyone else’s problem instead of the market telling you you’re over-priced or your product isn’t that valuable, etc.

Guy above you is right; it looks like a basic website. The only person that’s going to pay out the ass is the person that can be convinced they need to/have no clue they’re getting taken for a ride by someone convinced their own product is worth that price, etc.

Exactly and this is what I fail to understand. OP says is USP is that it’s different back end/coding from WIX, etc. So that justifies cost? I feel like a lot of this stuff just targets busy/naive/eager-to-spend business owners (which is fine) while convincing itself it’s something else, etc.

Yes, and the longer you do it the more obvious the pattern becomes.
