    Thanksgiving? “It’s just another day”

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I actually disagree with the thought of “it’s just another day” is required to “make it”. If you never take some time to unwind, rest, or do something that you want what is the point of the hustle? I don’t own a business so I can puff out my chest about my 12hr+ work days. I started a business...

    FCC is about to repeal Net Neutrality

    HOT! 
    Except the problem is that is not how the law it currently written. Under current laws the government classified the internet as a utility so the government can control and regulate just about every facet of the internet.

    FCC is about to repeal Net Neutrality

    HOT! 
    From what I’ve read on it it basically comes down to the government controlling the internet or businesses controlling the internet. Based on some of the whack jobs who continue to get elected (from both political parties) I feel much better about corporations running things than I do the...

    Gmail vs zoho?

    I use Zoho on my sites. You can easily set it up so it uses your custom domain and it’s free.

    Is This Still a Viable Fastlane Road?

    Every single area you can think of is still viable for a fast lane business. The only thing that’s varies is how saturated the market is and how difficult it is to make money. Currently people are throwing up shopify stores like crazy and it the the current “gold rush” area. The market is full...

    [AMA] Importing & wholesaling for resale on eBay.

    GOLD! SOURCING 
    So it’s been a while since I posted so just a quick update about my business. For the first time ever I’ve taken on some debt to purchase inventory. Everything I’ve done before has been cash or paid off within the 30day window on the credit card. Having that debt has added some additional...

    20yo, 50K cash and don't know what to do..

    As someone who drinks coffee regularly but not always, I have passed by hundreds of coffee shops in the last few years. I have entered.... 2 brands, Dunkin and Starbucks. If you are starting a coffee shop what are you going to do different than those 2. Why would someone chose your one off...

    So you want to move to Scottsdale?

    MEETUPS 
    I second oreganos and rehab burgers. I love them both! I personally like Sedona better than the Grand Canyon but both are must see if you have time and are not planning on coming back this way anytime soon. Can easily hit both in a couple days as long as you don’t mind the drive.

    What are your thoughts on "Privilege"?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    The main problem I have with the entire "privilege" argument is that people use it as an excuse why they can't. I can't get ahead because they had better parents. I can't get ahead because they got a scholarship and I didn't. I can't get ahead because of.... If you are over 18 where you are in...

    Where will I be this time next year?

    EXECUTION 
    I disagree that moving to California will help a fledgling business. IMO moving to a place where the cost of living is low is far more advantageous than being near Silicon Valley.

    New Website: Difference between 'Me Too' and having a USP

    Here was my point to that question... you've wasted more than 48 hours trying to get people's opinion. Spend the 48 hours and the grand and try it out. If it works then great if not then you know what doesn't work.

    How Do You REAL Entrepreneurs Overcome Analysis Paralysis & Information Overload?

    The best way in my opinion is to test it out. You heard dropshipping is working? Try dropshipping. You think a certain niche is on fire? Test it out. You hear of some people doing well importing and reselling? Try it. You don't know what product or niche to try. Pick a niche and order 5 products...

    Got my first real hit of Entrepreneurial heroin

    MINDSET 
    There's were many little boosts along the way but thanksgiving 2015 was when for the first time I hit a k. Now the k wasn't a grand but in the shopify mobile app at the time it showed you the exact daily sale amount (for example it had $1,528 listed as daily sales) that day we crossed over...

    I refuse to spend less time with my kids

    MINDSET 
    Finding a balance in life is difficult no matter what your profession. I feel like we need to stop beating ourselves up over the way we should be doing it. If you work a regular 9-5 job you spend 40 hours a week 50 weeks a year (assuming 2 week vacation) for 45 years away from your family...

    MARKETING 
    Wow those stats are super. I sent out one blast for Labor Day that did 16.7% open rate 1.9% clicked 3 sales Granted this was the first email blast I've ever done so it was just sent out to anyone who has purchased so far this year which I'm sure isn't the best way to do it.
