    Will smoking weed make me lazy/hurt my (good) mindset?

    HOT! 
    To perform on a high level, you need a clear head. I have enjoyed weed and other substances many many times... but it hinders my sharpness. It makes me want to eat too much food, and lay on the couch and watch TV. I always feel worthless when I smoke lol just LAZY AF. I want to perform on a high...

    How can someone with no cash start a real estate empire?

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    Hello, thought I'd drop my opinion here. :) Real Estate is the vehicle that helped me quit my J-O-B. I would start with looking at your current situation and goal. Do you have a job? Career? Is the pay good? Are you getting ahead? Are you in debt? Are you trying to pay off debt or just get ahead...

    How I made $690 In Less Than 4 Hours This Weekend

    EXECUTION 
    I always get quotes and bids and look at it as an overall price. Like.. for 100 PC's if it's $79 for the items and $36 for shipping, my to the door price is $115 or $1.15 each pc. And if your quotes range from $0.89 to $1.86 to the door price.. you can get an idea of where your cost needs to be...

    How I made $690 In Less Than 4 Hours This Weekend

    EXECUTION 
    I didn't think you could really mess up quality that bad HA so I bought from 3 different suppliers at first. Two of them was 500pcs and one was 400pcs. I took a little bit of risk.. but I thought, how bad could it be? And if they're SUPER bad I'll just sell them at cost.. So the first supplier...

    How I made $690 In Less Than 4 Hours This Weekend

    EXECUTION 
    Haha do it man! In several eBay books I've read.. they talk about the 1/3rd rule. Or 3x rule. Your product should at minimum sell for 3x cost. Because 1/3rd goes to cost of product, 1/3rd goes to shipping and fees or expenses, and 1/3rd is profit. Obviously 5x or 8x would be better. But 3x minimum.

    How I made $690 In Less Than 4 Hours This Weekend

    EXECUTION 
    Why can't you flip things locally? I think locally is the quickest way. I flip cars in my spare time, and I used to flip ipads and iphones and macbooks and silver coins.. but the margins are lower. The more money make the more "lazy" I become. I want more "return on time" now. So what came to...

    Sharing an apartment with other entrepeneurs?

    PEOPLE 
    When I first moved out of my moms house, I was really broke. So money was the most important factor. So I searched for the lowest priced apartment close to a college. I thought it would be less ghetto and more like poor students.. I found a small old cheap one bedroom apartment for $419 per...

    Previous $5M Successful business. Feeling it's not enough.

    MINDSET 
    Hey Mark I feel I've recently overcome these feelings you're having. I grew up really poor and learned to reduce my expenses so low that I could live off very little while I grow a business. Then I started to have success and I had to force myself to add things to my life and treat myself a...
