    The Passive Income Lie

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Have you considerd mobile home park investing? A lot less work if you just want the rent checks , a lot more work if you want appreciation (because you just own the land and the utility lines , not the mobile homes)

    FBA Retail Arbitrage to fund bigger things

    EXECUTION 
    Ok so I'm going to move forward with this, 2 pronged attack, online arbitrage and in this case some forward motion on "buddha statues" On the latter lets take a more broad look, demographics look good, small (low competition in general) growing #'s, young folks especially. These aren't wealthy...

    What Business Should I Start?

    Read the book , you might have to pick a business based on real life barriers , so presumably being 13 thats why you thought dropshipping but the real question you need to tune yourself to find is "where can I add value? What problem / frustration can I solve for someone?" If I want a doodad...

    FBA Retail Arbitrage to fund bigger things

    EXECUTION 
    Update : So "better" retail arbitrage run this time but everything that would have been a slam dunk (50 dollar item selling for 250 etc) I was "gated" meaning I have to buy from a legitimate wholesaler to be able to send it in. So I'm getting better at sourcing but...yeh spending 8-10 hours...

    I have two questions for you (borrowing from family)

    HOT! 
    Well I havent asked. Because it isnt my money , him being my dads brother doesnt give me any right to it. You dont think rich people have anxiety about moochy relatives? Or havent been asked to fund pie in the sky half baked business ideas? Frankly I think id rather ask when I have something...

    I have two questions for you (borrowing from family)

    HOT! 
    Thing about that is , is it worth burning that relationship if you fail? , I would definitely have a contract and be thinking of what I could pawn or how to adjust my budget if it were my brother. I have a wealthy uncle ive never hit up precisely for this reason. His net worth is 10 million+...

    How to find a need / problem?

    Go on reddit and find the "askreddit" sub and then ask some amalgamation of the frustration problem without being so vague that its obviously in bad faith (ie , dont sound like someone fishing for data) So "whats the most frustrating thing for you about xyz?" , or "what something that grinds...

    Should I be worried about capitalism changing? Or am I overthinking it?

    HOT! 
    Overthinking it. First of all nothing being proposed by the "radical left" is all that radical , a 70% top marginal income bracket is too high to be effective (we can use evidence for this) but its hardly radical. Also anything the "left" proposes tends to be attacked by democracies immune...

    Stop telling us what you did. Show us what you achieved.

    EXECUTION 
    I disagree , a progress thread is great self reflection and how many have we seen where they abandon a project with no legs and pursue something else (and start a new thread)? , if they didn't have the thread and some sense of urgency / obligation , a few folks rooting them on and some pointing...

    What about the saturated markets??

    MINDSET 
    The food truck idea seems better , it scales and everything. With the cheese youd have to spend on marketing and such , you have to spend time and money "teaching" the market the product.

    I've failed at postponing "do what you love"

    Woupdnt it be simpler to hire out on upwork to get some basic graphics and a hype video , figure out the core gameplay and genre and then throw up a kickstarter? If it works you develop it and maybe even profit before a launch , if people dont like it youd probably have failed at launch anyway
