    Here we go!

    INTRO 
    Stop being a pussy. @MJ DeMarco already said that the idea is feasible. The question isn't if MJ thinks it will work. He said he thinks it will. The question is whether or not you believe in yourself to at least try.

    Importing - Factory Payment Terms

    SOURCING 
    Also, I advise against using Letters of Credit in the U.S. until at a massive scale where Letters of Credit are cheap. I bank with Chase. Chase requires $50,000 in a separate account that's tied up until the product hits stateside. For the service, they charge $3,000 on $50,000. There's been...

    Importing - Factory Payment Terms

    SOURCING 
    There's nothing complicated about your question. You're complicating it for no reason. The factory is giving you an added benefit that you can choose to take or not to take. And ignore this advice completely. When you start doing 5-6 figure orders, then the 20% will have a huge impact on...

    Should I get an LLC?

    From my experience, here's the answer to your question that very few people will agree with at face value: You want to form an LLC right away and start aging it. The cost to create an LLC somewhere like Wyoming is around $100. If you don't have an extra $100, then you have no business running...

    Retirement Is Looking Bleak for Millennials...

    Bullshit. Retirement is easier for millenials than ever before. Let's start with millennials in the West: If you make $30,000 a year in passive income, you can retire in most of the world and live a great life. In places like Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, South America, etc that means never...

    Why is there not more healthy fast food chains?

    HOT! 
    You need to do your due diligence. Some things to think about: 1. There's already a lot of options that exist. 2. Even large chains like McDonald's have healthy options. 3. If they don't exist in your area, there might not be demand. Not everyone cares about health. 4. People that do care...

    To all CEO/Founders, what designation do you put as your email signature?

    This. No reason to complicate it unless you actually have different departments on email.

    To sell or not to sell (my profiting website)? This is the question!

    2.5x annual earnings is the minimum you should aim to sell for. I'd say 3x since you were approached instead of listing the site. So $7,500 is the minimum to ask for if you want to sell. But request a higher amount to get it down there. I'd ask for $25,000 and work it down if you're in selling...

    Should we combat climate change?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    You guys in this thread can debate about climate change, however, there are some things that are not up for debate. Paying for someone to have eye surgery and see again, that's worthwhile. Not debatable. Paying for orphans to eat, that's worthwhile. Also not debatable. Those are the causes I...

    Should we combat climate change?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    An interesting example of this - the large shipping companies pushing for "clean" ships. They know that the small companies can't afford to retrofit their ships, so they're pushing for regulation that will allow them to consolidate the market and create a monopoly. Personally I think clean...

    Should we combat climate change?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I've survived 5 "end of the world's" in my 27-year lifetime. Every few years there's another one. Climate change might be a thing, but it's not something that I'll be investing much mental energy into. For me, that energy is better spent on making money and giving it to the right charitable...

    Should we combat climate change?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    "Climate change" was originally called "global cooling". But the Earth stopped cooling down, so they called it "global warming". But then it kind of stayed the same, so they rebranded it "Climate Change". My opinion: "climate change" is an extremely young field of science, filled with biased...
