    Flipping cars, appliances, and other assets.

    NOTABLE! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Don't have a ton to add here but I have done car flips (all collector cars), as well as buying discount items at stores and reselling for higher price on Amazon (retail arbitrage). I would agree with others that this is definitely hard to scale but can be used for fun to fill down time if you...

    What would YOU like to learn about real estate investing?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Thanks for the video and responses. Best of luck to you in your goal to get to 500 houses! Any reason your goal wouldn't be however to get to a certain point and liquidate to fund a larger multifamily apartment complex? Similar question is it seems you are focusing on duplex and larger and not...

    Writing my first book

    EXECUTION 
    Congratulations on getting started! I am about 30k words into my first book myself so know the struggle to get started. I would say just start writing what you feel needs to be said and worry about the rest as you get a solid start. I didn't build a website or social media presence for the book...

    Just sold my first 3 items on Amazon!

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    I launched with a small FBA shipment yesterday and sold 50% of what I sent in the first day. I did some retail arbitrage and figured it would be a fun test to see how it goes even if for a low profit to get some sales under my belt... Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Well I got a basic site up to start collecting emails as I finish writing and have written another 5k words... I plan to build some social media within the next week and start joining groups on FB, Insta, LinkedIN, etc to provide feedback and hope to get likes and links to the site for sign ups...

    A Writer With the Wrong Topic?

    PUBLISHING 
    Definitely don't scrap the books especially as far along as you are. Worst case they don't turn into much but put them out there and see what happens so you didn't waste your time writing them to not know what could have been.... I would second the fact of focusing the book on just the main...

    Writing my first book

    PUBLISHING 
    Appreciate the feedback especially from someone who has done it. I own one of your books BTW ;) I have two titles planned for now and need to narrow to one and buy a domain to get a landing page up to build a mailing list. Social media is my next step as you've said here and will start that up...

    Shopify: No sales | Need your analysis

    HOT! 
    Seriously, those pop ups seem timed and excessive if not real purchases. If not real then I would randomize it a bit more with times spread out so it seems a bit more reasonable, if real then you must be killing it! Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Writing my first book

    PUBLISHING 
    Well I am having a hard time sitting down to focus on the path I had thought was my fastlane of E-Commerce so have decided to roll with what I know from my current slowlane job and write a book on how to do it better. I am a store manager for a major retailer with over $475 million in retail...

    How To Fire Someone

    Here is a link to a video that references a study of the separation of paying extra money and getting better performance as a result. Slightly off topic but ties into a few of the replies here... View: https://youtu.be/u6XAPnuFjJc I would say a lot of great points made here and I have...

    I'm surprised Noone has quoted this portion below.... This is what I found most interesting as I work through business ideas right now as far as sustainable business models. Business Opportunities: If you think of a niche you want to go in, ask yourself: "in the future, do you think we will...

    My thoughts exactly. Won't be full takeover that fast but will be growing leaps and bounds and being a normal thing to see these self driving cars. Uber already has bought a fleet of self driving cars and will be testing out how it works without human interaction this year. Also in Europe they...

    Fully agreed. A few of the predictions were off in my eyes this one included but didn't want to edit anything out. Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk

    Not mine, but an interesting read my wife sent me just now... As the world changes business either adapts or dies. FUTURE PREDICTIONS: In 1998, Kodak had 170,000 employees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went...

    Cadillac Announces New Offer On Unlimited Vehicle Access for $1,500 a Month

    I watched something (can't recall where) where the experts in the auto industry are expecting within 15-20 years that the majority of drivers will exclusively use a form of rideshare such as uber or an on demand car rental service where you can literally walk up to the curb and pick a car...

    What did you do today?

    EXECUTION 
    I wrote two chapters to test my ability to write on my experience in retail leadership. Writing is not my thing though so not sure that I'm going to continuing with that unless I outline the basics for each chapter and how to implement strategies and outsource the physical writing.... also read...
