    Recommendations? Private Label Supplements?

    It looks like you have hit the jackpot with that private label supplier. Nice work. Water

    Has anyone started/built a supplement company before?

    SOURCING 
    I have one "Don't" for you: Don't search for companies that offer private label. If you buy from them you will be joining a crowd all trying to sell the exact same product as you. Also, they will charge you an arm and a leg for designing a label. Instead, search for manufacturers of ...X...

    Is it possible to be a Fastlaner with a franchise? (Being a franchisee)

    SLOWLANE FTE QUESTION 
    A flat fee would be rare. The most common arrangement is for royalty to be paid on a monthly basis, and royalties are almost universally charged as a percentage of turnover. Walter

    Is it possible to be a Fastlaner with a franchise? (Being a franchisee)

    SLOWLANE FTE QUESTION 
    If you buy a franchise, there is no option but to lose almost 100% of control because you are bound by contract to precisely obey the rules set out in that contract. Entry is easy because all you need is cash. Scale is only possible if your contract allows you to either set up more sites, or...

    Life after branding? Anyone else has a problem with brandbook and content implementation?

    MARKETING 
    Starting a new business facing many entrenched competitors, and without having any branding, logo, slogan etc., was a challenge. The first thing I did was to visit those competitors' websites, visit their shops and talk to their sales people, as well as obtain samples and advertising material...

    (possible) Oportunity for product needed for work

    IDEA SOURCING QUESTION 
    For 20 years I ran my industrial chemical business which involved industrial troubleshooting. I visited countless factories and although my problem solving usually resulted in selling a formula that I designed for the company that I was helping, I often saw that the problem was an engineering...

    Life after branding? Anyone else has a problem with brandbook and content implementation?

    MARKETING 
    To my mind, spending $500ish for some very basic knowledge is an example of what I see as the approach by many entrepreneurs who are concerned about being too ordinary in their presentations. In my Exploit book I make a simple statement about consistency in the visual presentations that form...

    Why Real Estate is Bullsh*t

    REAL ESTATE 
    Real Estate has been good to me, but it has never been what I would call a business. I did well out of careful observation of the market, and buying at the right time and in the right place. My first home after marrying was small, but the land was at a bargain basement price, being the last...

    [Master Thread] Selling Courses

    CHAT 
    Awesome! Great feedback. I wonder if it being in a different format *as well* would help even more people? Thanks @AndyBlack. It probably would but really it boils down to my old age making me less willing to learn things such as having a YouTube video made. My remote location doesn't help...

    [Master Thread] Selling Courses

    CHAT 
    Sorry about that. It was just a way of saying that I don't want to make the effort. I can see the benefits of using YouTube videos, but I am stuck with doing what I am used to such as answering questions on the forum. I know from the number of my book buyers who keenly await the publication of...

    Dropshipping- opinion?

    IDEA 
    What an excellent post. I agree that dropshipping can be a very lucrative business model provided it doesn't take the form of following all the sheep who can't do anything but follow the ones in front. As for my recommendation to search beyond China, in the event you find something of high...

    Lack of quality for service 2022

    RANT 
    A simple solution if selling products not services, is to only work on high margins. I never sold at less than 60% net profit. So, I have never run a service business, although my industrial chemical business was in effect a service business because it was based on troubleshooting manufacturing...

    [Master Thread] Selling Courses

    CHAT 
    To add to the chat, here's why I don't sell courses. 1. My books are comprehensive and complete, so what more would a course provide? 2. If a person can't or won't read a small book, will they pay attention when being spoon fed? 3. I have had the experience of people buying one or more of my...

    Idea Generation To Execution: Fastlane Millionaire's Step By Step Guide

    Yes I do have something very specific to offer on this subject. It is a sub-section of the chapter on Quality in my safe sourcing and easy importing book: 31.2 Cost Cutting Measures. Although China is renowned for low prices, those notably low prices often result in manufacturing down to a...

    looking for sunglasses factory in China

    SOURCING 
    I have sent you a link to a top producer in China, but don't forget that Chinese factories tend to copy designs and you might find your design is on the market befoe you get a prototype. They do promise to make the prototype very quickly, and they specialize in Cellulose Acetate molding. Walter
