    Generally speaking, how much should I pay myself?

    HOT! 
    This is a very complicated question and will vary depending on your corporate structure, tax residency, residence, etc. With the recent changes Trump made, there's a tax break for keeping money in a C Corp, as long as you keep it in the business - otherwise it's double taxed. When you start...

    Why dropshipping is bullshit... (and why you should avoid it).

    When did I encourage someone to NOT build a business?

    Why dropshipping is bullshit... (and why you should avoid it).

    HOT! 
    Well, while that is a little insulting, it's still true. The cost of living is rising dramatically as people flock there. I can live anywhere, but loved living in Bali for lots of reasons. We lived nicely there, but weren't thrifty. If you had to be, you still could. On a side note, while I...

    8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)

    IDEA 
    Hey dude. Thanks for being honest and transparent. Sometimes that's a rarity these days and many only post the good things that happen. If you need someone to listen to you, or just chat. I'm here. Soldier on dude. If you did it once, you can do it again...

    E-Commerce Brand Kick-Started By The Pandemic

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    Are these case packed, or is there one product per box? It seems you could have been easier on you had you made one large case packed box instead of a dozen individual labels We ship LTL to amazon all the time (Less than Truck Load), but we sell heavy/big products. It's great for volume, but...

    Live Rent Free in Multiple Countries

    NOTABLE! REAL ESTATE 
    I'm thinking of doing this in Scottsdale, AZ but I'm waiting for the RE market to collapse a bit. This whole pandemic has me valuing owning a place of my own. Tired of bouncing around at AIR BNBs at the moment

    I turned off all my Amazon PPC and sales dropped...

    MARKETING 
    I would think about allocating that PPC spend to another channel like Google. Which is what we're doing more of this year. I suspect, due to the nature of your business, you don't need to play the ranking game on Amazon as others in your space would. Do you have a source for this? It's news...

    My Latest Experience Selling N95 Masks

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I thought it was nice you left some for others. :) I'm actually looking for masks right now (N95 and surgical) as my factories desperately need them. They're sold out where I currently am (Bali), but I'd be hunting down retail stores in the states if I was there.

    Some threads in this forum are so confusing! (Please help me)

    MINDSET RANT 
    Goals are dreams with deadlines. Set goals. A dream is thinking about which color/model Ferrari you want to buy. A goal is figuring out what you need to do to buy that Ferrari.

    One of the best books I've read - Self Help but it's NOT business: The Charisma Myth I just picked up The Monk Who Sold his Ferrari in the Airport. So far so good, will report back when I finish it.

    Income Store, Legit? NO, A SCAM AS WE PREDICTED.

    I posted this in another thread, I guess I should have posted it here: Well low and behold - I just called this out as a likely scam in another thread. https://authoritywebsiteincome.com/income-store-ripoff/ You can download the Restraining Order and Order Appointing Receiver on the above...

    Non-Business Book Recommendation Thread

    HOT! 
    These are some great recommendations. I should have also clarified - no self help books. Habits of Highly Successful people is definitely in the business and self help realm. I'll add two more to the list: Open (it is excellent) Shoe Dog (semi-related to business but doesn't read at all like...

    Non-Business Book Recommendation Thread

    HOT! 
    So I haven't been able to get into reading business books at all lately. I've read a ton, and I feel I need to execute rather than read. That being said, I know I have a lot more to learn from them, but perhaps I need a break. Recommend your favorite NON business book. Be it fiction...

    Income Store Site Partners Investors Group (CLOSED)

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I know someone who has invested with IS, and they are not happy with their investment and have advised me to stay away. @GraceLoveJoy - your post definitely smells of solicitation, and I don't think you'll find this forum a good place to do so. This forum has a way of sniffing out imposters...

    Our Product Has Sold Out (Twice) - Advice to start scaling and building brand

    MARKETING 
    First, congrats on selling your first $18k of stuff. It's a good start. 1) This is a long term play and requires cash and money. It's not fast or easy. 2) This is fast, and can scale nicely. It takes a lot of cash, testing and skill. 3) You will tire this out quickly. Pay attention, Facebook...

    I’m Reading Atlas Shrugged; You’re Invited!!!!

    HOT! 
    Rand may have been a bit of a crazy person in real life, but both Altas Shrugged and The Fountainhead are excellent. I enjoyed the Fountainhead more. Rand's writing is verbose, and Galt's 40 page (or was it 100) was excessive in Atlas Shrugged. That being said, both are must reads.

    Amazon's new way to deal with patent infringers

    Hey! Those "tactics" made me a lot of money! :p In all seriousness, I never F*cked with anyone else's listings, but I did participate in some early on rank manipulation. I'm happy to report with the current business - no questionable tactics or marketing hacks. Just good products and hard...
