    Walter, I'm about 30 pages into your book. Love it. Thanks to you and @Ronak for giving me the gift of wealth in knowledge. I have two questions I'd like to ask to you Walter. I think it will benefit everyone here, although the questions do border on the legal side of things. I am moving...

    Marijuana entrepreneurship; industry discussion

    HOT! 
    I'd like share some of my opinions from my perspective. 1. In Colorado, I know of a Veteran run business that collects money for these dispensaries. The company only employs veterans. They are like the Brinks of marijuana. Guys pop out of an unmarked Suburban armed with AR15's, collect the...

    Walter, I find your patience and expertise astonishing. Taking the time to answer all of these questions amidst "retirement" from the industry - simply inspiring. As for the comment made by @Wisith I couldn't agree more. Prior to perusing this thread, I finished two books detailing the...

    Hustle while you can

    INTRO 
    I, too, went to college with no intention of joining the rat race. I hardly studied, but mainly worked on businesses and networking. College can be a great safety net for an entrepreneur. No, that does not mean that a college degree will guarantee a job or guarantee anything for that matter...

    Starting on the journey of life

    EXECUTION 
    Sounds like you've got a good head on your shoulders man. That's something to be proud of at 19. Your plan will not go "exactly" as you have planned. There will be bumps, distractions, you name it - it will happen. The destination may end up being the same, but the journey will almost certainly...

    What are your MUST WATCH entrepreneur or business movies?

    HOT! CHAT 
    1. Silicon Valley (HBO, TV Series) - Hilariously entertaining, documents a start-up from the beginning, and is like a free business course. 2. There Will Be Blood - Basically an oil magnate's biography, although somewhat depressing at the end. 3. The Social Network - Self-explanatory.

    Ambitious 21 year old college student

    INTRO 
    Good to have you here man, you'll learn a lot from this community. My advice to you is this: - If you don't want to work a 9-5, don't become an attorney. The good attorneys, in my experience, work a lot more than that. With wealth creation, you'll likely be working even more, but the incentives...

    Going "All In"

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Don't take my opinion personally @458 you appear mentally tougher than that. There's nothing better than sitting at the table of life and playing hands. I have won some; I have lost some, probably more of the latter. As @AndrewNC shared, knowing you went all-in is a remarkable feeling/emotion...

    Validating first E-commerce idea

    IDEA 
    Interested to see how this goes @7.62x51 I think it's a good idea to gauge customer interest rather than jumping right in under assumptions. I am familiar with e-commerce, but am far from an expert as far as I am concerned. I do have a couple of questions regarding your process. 1. Will you be...

    Sharkas, my introduction !

    INTRO 
    @sharkas Thanks for sharing the essay, very interesting read. When you find an industry you like and are knowledgable in, the ideas flow; as long as you don't force them. Curiosity plays a big role as well. The essay only reinforces that. I don't have any specific books I can recommend on real...

    Sharkas, my introduction !

    INTRO 
    Ton anglais est pas mal mon ami. I read Graham as well. "The Intelligent Investor" is a fantastic read for an economics student, or anyone interested in finance. I am in a similar situation myself as a recent college grad. For me, I wanted to "just do it," meaning stick my neck out there and...

    @lovecharm I work a bit in this field and would like to share some of my opinions. I think you are on to something, and it is only a matter of time before you breakthrough. You may think you should have swam before jumping, but I think jumping provided the quickest way to learn how to swim...
