    Do you have to lie to become a top producer in Sales?

    EXECUTION 
    I work full time in b2b sales and let me tell you if you think you can cheat or lie your way into sales, you are either looking at the wrong industry/company or have a warped perception about sales. You may be able to lie and cheat on a transactional sale selling a cell phone case on the street...

    Blog your way to the top

    MARKETING 
    While I agree, this is only partially true. There are blogs that are actual businesses and have ventured out from the beginning to be such. As well as forums, youtube channels, and such. We live in an age where people have the ability to gather their own audience and content production has never...

    A question about patents

    lol way to be an a**hole to a 2 month old post you didnt provide anything useful. OP I would imagine you would have to find a patent lawyer and there no real way to go around that. Because how will you protect your idea if you dont know what your idea is? By that, I mean your idea has to be...

    Biophase, how do you recommend getting images or photos when you are drop shipping? Particularly expensive products? I assume taking them off a competitor's website may or may not work depending on whether they took the photos themselves or if they are stock photos. How can you tell? When you...

    Probably going to stir up some stuff here but is it just me or is trading a bunch of BS and pretty much gambling with a whole bunch of technical nonsense? Every time I look into technical analysis that's what comes to mind haha

    Any fastlaners on the Shark Tank?

    Wow they take a chunk of your pie for just being on it huh. Those bastards! haha but for the amount of exposure you get it can't be a bad deal. A lot of them that didn't make deals actually end up doing quite well just because they showed up. Man I was watching the guy that invented the most...

    Any fastlaners on the Shark Tank?

    I love that show except for that cheesy a$$ Tmobile product placement with terrible acting. Any way, Mark cuban did an AMA on reddit not too long ago and I thought it was interesting and I watch Shark Tank cause it's just downright entertaining and I also end up thinking "man why didn't IIII...

    Those are very good questions. I have yet to run the numbers and quite frankly I don't have experience managing a real estate business so I'm not sure of the costs of running a brokerage. Things like insurance, fees, etc. The angle I was thinking was low cost, high efficiency model. To eliminate...

    I like the management aspect of it rather than pitching houses. Though I wouldn't mind selling houses. I wonder how hard it is to start your own brokerage. Must be pretty difficult with a high barrier of entry otherwise every agent would go for their broker's license no? Btw, still reading your...

    Are mobile home deals viable in all places or only certain areas? Mobile homes here are pretty expensive but obvoiusly cheaper than real houses. They're around 50k or more

    Has anyone taken an online real estate course to get a license?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Who in their right mind would try to sell a house for $450k when it's worth $500k? You may be right about a bunch of stuff I see in your posts like master lease, lease to own, etc. but all your posts reek of emarketing and that's a big turn off when it comes to seeming trustworthy. Not saying...

    Do you have to sell houses when you are a broker or is that an agent's job? What does it take to be a broker? Trust me I did a google search and if you do one on the differences between a real estate broker and agent, running a brokerage, starting a real estate firm, etc. they alllll pretty much...

    What can a young person do for finance?

    REAL ESTATE 
    guess you're right. im "flipping" my parents' house but more like managing the subs and contractors, design, etc. and doing the valuation and comps. Once it sells, there will be about 30k I can use to decide to put down on their new home or divy up into some investment. 30k doesn't go very far...

    Yeah thats a good call. I guess I wont know if its truly structural or not until the engineer tells me whats going on with the walls. If the walls that are modified are not structural he can tell me that its fine and i wont get the permits. Otherwise I will probably get the permits to cover my...

    So I spoke to a structural engineer in my area and he basically said that he draws the structural plans and stamps it. He doesn't draw the architectural plans. I swear the whole structural engineer/architect/draftsman issue was and is the most confusing for me out of construction. It took me...

    Thanks. I've actually been told a few times that for things like making a window wider or adding a sliding door, you can drop $800-1700 on a structural engineer to look at it or you can just go 1 or 2 notches higher on the header size to make sure you're up to code AND MORE. If it needs a 2X6...
