    Ignorance and Uncertainty
    Perfect competition assumes that consumers, firm and factor suppliers have perfect knowledge of cost and benefits. In the real world, there is often a great deal of ignorance and uncertainty. Thus people are unable to equate marginal benefit with marginal cost.Consumers purchase many goods only once or few times in a lifetime. Cars, washing machines, television and other consumer durable fall into

    So don't focus on something temporarily. It can become a great success, but try to combine it with something else!
    If you create a forum about floppy disks, it won't exists for a long time. Combine it with something else like USB sticks, external hard drives,...
    Or make your subject a bith broader, like "Storage media".

    Before you can start a forum, you have to come up with a niche.
    This is the main topic your forum will be about.

    I'm a member of various webmaster or forum related forums. And I often see posts there from people that want ideas to create a forum about.
    Of course it's a good idea to get some ideas.
    But you have to keep in mind that those people probably know nothing about you...
    They don't know what you like, what you dislike, your interests, ...
    Maybe they can give you some ideas, but probably not something you can create a forum about

    So here are a few tips that could help you to find your "niche"!

    Write at least 5 things down that interest you
    Just write some things down that you like...
    Can be anything, and don't worry if it's something "weird"!
    Computers, gold fishes, creative things to do with old computers, rubber ducks, light bulbs,...
    Write it all down!

    Now you have a small list of possible topics for your forum.
    But probably you still don't what to create a forum about.

    Find the topic for which you have the most interest
    It's important that you choose something that interests you, something that you can talk alot about.
    Some people say that you have to choose the thing you know the most about. But I don't agree with it.
    If you choose something you're passionate about, it'll be very easy to learn more about it!
    And you'll probably want to learn more about it, so starting a forum about it can be a great motivation for it.

    But... There are other things to think about as well.
    • How many forums/website are there about the same subject?
      If there are already thousands of forums about the same thing, then you've got some serious competition!
      If you decide to continue with that subject, try to think of something unique or different.
      Create something that people won't find on those other websites.
    • How long will it exist?
      You probably want to have a forum that exists for some time.
      So don't focus on something temporarily. It can become a great success, but try to combine it with something else!

      How To Have a Perfect Meeting (Avoiding Dreary, Directionless Meetings Go On Forever)
      Many business owners and managers seem to fall into one of two categories. Either they dislike meetings because they always seem to drag on senselessly forever, or they think meetings are so unproductive, they simply avoid them.Over the years, I’ve spent many hours in both productive and unproductive meetings.

          The Power of Planning
          I am surprised how few sales professionals, independent consultants, and small business owners take the time to plan the strategy for their business. Most people spend more time writing out a grocery list or planning a vacation than they do planning the direction or outcome of their business. Many will determine a vague or general idea of what they want to accomplish but very few actually identify the spec
