    I just found out a 'customer' is drop shipping my product

    HOT! 
    It seems to me you have 3 choices - 1. Stop selling on eBay at the price you're at - increase or withdraw. 2. Do your own listings on Amazon and compete with your customer. 3. Put up and shut up - sell your product for what you're asking on eBay and accept your customer is selling on your...

    Boring Business (don’t bother reading)

    Exactly. The OP shouldn't just focus on people who can't do this themselves, but sell the benefits to those that don't want to or can't be bothered doing it themselves!

    Boring Business (don’t bother reading)

    Could you offer this as a managed service? You could add on related services such as filter replacement, driveway salting etc. as you grow. Then systemise the business, have checklists and guides for doing the different elements. Then recruit staff to do the leg work while you run and promote...

    Why do certain environments distract you more and keep you less motivated then others?

    I know how you feel. About 4 years ago I converted the garage into my home office but over that time it started to become a hobby room, my wife's office and a general dumping ground. Over the last few weeks I've realised that I'm no longer productive when I'm in there with too many distractions...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    INVESTING HOT! 
    Buying a car is often an ego trip that lands you in debt for years. I have had expensive new cars and after a very short period of time the buzz wears off and you're just left with an expensive monthly bill for little or no pleasure. Don't get me wrong, a car is fairly essential in this day...

    Guy Jumps at Amazon's Delivery Business Offer - 8 Months in, 112 Employees and 50 Trucks

    Happy for this guy's success but if he only has the one customer his business is always on the line. Amazon can cut the budget, use another supplier or transition to using drones at any time. And if they do his enterprise disappears over night. I have seen similar issues before when consulting...

    Self-inflicted wounds and my "F*ck this!" moment......

    INTRO 
    Thanks for the tip on the book. I'll look that one up.

    The MAIN difference between someone who makes 100k /year and someone who makes 1m?

    GOLD! 
    In my mind the key difference between a$100k business owner and a $1m or even $1bn business is vision. Those that create massive multi-million dollar businesses have tremendous vision, they look to solve bigger problems at a higher scale than someone running a$100k/yr business. They also look...

    Self-inflicted wounds and my "F*ck this!" moment......

    INTRO 
    @MatthewFoster thanks for sharing your story. I can totally relate to the idea of "self inflicted wounds". I worked in a slow lane job as a lead consultant for a small business for years. Always waiting for the big payout that was never actually coming. I was angry and frustrated with the CEO...

    From Hustle Burnout to Working 10hrs/week and Loving Life

    Following this thread with interest. I'd love to know more about how you're getting on?

    What if you already know enough?

    NOTABLE! 
    I agree, schools are there to create good employees and consumers. The problem is that the system is broken. Today's teachers are good employees and consumers. It's all they really know because teaching is a profession. Very few teachers these days have ever been outside of the system. It's a...

    What is one thing you would say to your 18 year old self?

    Wow. 30 years is a long time with a lot of lessons, but I would probably say something along the lines of: Read Think and Grow Rich (MJs books weren't around back then!). Learn to give before you take. Provide value to the world. Build assets. Set goals. Work hard every day to achieve them...

    Anybody reading fiction??

    HOT! 
    I read and have read so much fiction (deliberately excluding the UK tabloids!). My favourite author is Bernard Cornwell, particularly the Sharpe, Winter King, and Last Kingdom series. I also like Conn Igulden for other historical fiction, Peter F Hamilton and Arthur C Clark for sci-fi and Tom...
