Is the MEAN Stack easier for a beginner to get up and running than LAMP stack?

I would like to start by saying that I am a big believer that coding is not for everyone. It is popular and there is definitely plenty of job opportunities out there, but if it's not your thing and you have difficulty learning, maybe another career path is best.

As for LAMP vs MEAN, I would say in general LAMP is taught before MEAN for a number of reasons such as being well known longer, fewer steps to get up and running, and a general agreed upon consensus that it is good for beginners.

That all being said, I don't want to discourage you from learning. It could just be that you need to be taught a different way. I have taught a number of programming languages if you want to hop on a call and dive more into your specific case.

Hope that helps :)

How should I go about finding and hiring a developer for an app that I'm building?

If you want to go cheap, you can outsource and deal with the potentially lower quality. You can bring on co-founders and give up part of your company (don't take this lightly but can be very effective for the right partners). If you can at least put down a decent down payment you can still go with a dev shop assuming they are ok with waiting for full payment after an agreed upon amount of time (this isn't impossible, but not all dev shops will be open to it).

In general, you get what you pay for. Really no getting around that. We can chat more about it on a call if you want.

I can assist you in putting together a plan to build, market, and sell your new supply chain Saas tool. I would need some more specific before I can advise you on your best next steps.

What is a good source for finding a quality developer or service?

A good way to find devs that most probably haven't tried is Stackoverflow. Look for devs that have answered a lot of MacOS app related questions. Let me know if you want to chat more about this and other ways.

Does this hospitality SAAS idea already exist somewhere?

I don't think the service you are envisioning is a new concept, but it might not exist at scale as a packaged Saas product. If you have not encountered it yet and you are actively looking for it, it could mean that it either does not exist yet or there is a big opportunity to become that authority in that space. If this is something you are looking to build, let's chat!

Will the MWOB certification help with my Cookie Business?

Any relevant certification can help your business in my opinion. This will help show your clients you know what you're doing. Providing a high quality product will always help your business more than any certification can, but a certification can help you get your foot in the door. I'm happy to go into more detail about your business if you want. Feel free to reach out!

How can I find clients as a beginner in freelance web designing?

The best way to find them if you don't have your own network is to advertise online. You need to organize what you can do into simple products, and sell them through your own site. You can try word off mouth if you have access to a specific network that would benefit from your services. We can chat on a call if you want to go into more detail.

How do I go about starting a brick and mortar repair business?

Start by fixing phones! Make a name for yourself as the guy who can fix phones. Fix your own phones, fix them for friends and family for free/discounted rate to start with and you will build a name for yourself.

Can i sell iconic images of celebrities with their heads painted over on my online store?Is this a copyright violation or legal appropriation?

I am not a lawyer and you should talk to a lawyer for professional legal advice. That being said, I would assume you won't run into any issues because you are creating original art instead of taking art someone else made and passing it off as your own. There is a chance the celebrities you paint will be delighted and actually share your work within their online communities! Let me know if you want to chat more about getting this up and running.

What are the best practices in transitioning from freelancing to working in a company with clients/employees?

Establish your brand, team, and processes. There are plenty of dev shops out there so you have plenty of examples to follow. For example Thoughtbot has an open source playbook you can use to build your own company.
