    The Poor Man I Cant get a job: Flipping Stuff Log

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Dude, just say some white lies about the things that don't matter. If you think you can do the job, and do a good job at that, then say what the interviewer wants to hear. Don't lie about anything significant that will impact your performance, but the little things that put the interviewer at...

    How should my daughter sell 100 chocolate bars?

    HOT! 
    I wouldn't send her door to door. One bad experience and you'll discourage her entrepreneurial ambitions tremendously. I'd put her in an environment where she's guaranteed to NOT get discouraged. All it takes is one a**hole to say no and close the door on your daughter for her to be...

    Youth and gender to appeal to companies

    Hit the leads with an email. Then with a phone. Don't limit it to just email. In regards to the incubator - sometimes they're very valuable to be a part of... but don't build your business around getting into the incubator. Don't put a crazy amount of effort into getting in unless it's actually...

    Figuring Out YouTube

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    For those of you with Youtube channels: WHY? Whenever I click on someone's channel, there's typically a couple thousand views per video or less. Is that really worth your time? Is the effort you put into maintaining your channel worth more than if you did other forms of marketing and sales...

    Youth and gender to appeal to companies

    Take any advantage you can get. If they have a government requirement to buy from you because you're female and young, then great. However, if you think that's an appeal, and it's not required, then it likely won't turn out the way you think it will. Do your best to play that card, but at the...

    Just Imported My First Sea Shipment: Here's what that process looks like

    GOLD! 
    You engage the market. Figure out what the market wants. Define the value. Figure out if you can deliver that value. If you think you can, you get samples (sometimes engaging the market requires samples first). Then you get feedback. Then you push 20 different guys to give you an order. 1 guy...

    Please critique my VERY FIRST facebook shop!! (all comments welcome)

    EXECUTION 
    Page looks good. Great start. And definitely DON'T do that. There's hundreds of lurkers on here that are just waiting to knock off ANYTHING that they see making money. You can share a bit on the inside since most people there can afford the $100 a year and are busy doing their own thing. I...

    Popeyes Sandwich: Amazing Product, Marketing, or a Bit of Both?

    MARKETING 
    What if the Popeyes sandwich never came back? Think about that. This mythical sandwich that had people beat each other up, then ran out of stock, then disappeared forever. Would Popeyes make more money or less? Would people be talking about Popeyes for years to come about the mythical...

    Building an e-commerce business while doing food/parcel delivery on the side

    EXECUTION 
    You're working with crafters. Can you convince them that you'll sell their product in exchange for a percentage? No reason to tie up capital. Once you generate a sale or two for them, then invest in the inventory, or convince them that you can sell more on consignment. Have them ship you...

    My pressure washing business thus far

    EXECUTION 
    Hit this hard. Start selling the real estate agents on your service. Get the B2B money to keep the income consistent and the business scalable. You'll probably make smaller margins but it will be easier for growth. You can even go as far as offering no payment terms until the house sells. It's...

    How LONG would it take you to turn $50,000 into $190,000???

    If you could correctly identify the lowest point, then you wouldn't be turning $50k into $190k, but into a billion through options, etc. That's the problem; you can't identify the lowest point. For most people, the stock market is a horrible means of wealth creation. It's a great means of...

    "Hustle House": What would you want living-wise as an entrepreneur?

    HOT! 
    What are the top websites to search real estate for rent in Argentina? Something like hotels won't work since it goes against the primary tenet of "the most bang for your buck". For a week a hotel would work as a retreat, but month over month there's too many negatives (the biggest being cost)...

    "Hustle House": What would you want living-wise as an entrepreneur?

    HOT! 
    $2,000 a month for 4 bedrooms. It's ridiculously cheap. In terms of getting the best lifestyle, here's my thesis based on experience: You'll get the most value for your money outside of the U.S. That value starts with the tax benefit which will likely subsidize all of your costs. If you split...

    Tijuana's getting added to the list. 4 bedroom/5 bathroom for a fraction of SD. Includes a pool, awesome patio, home theater. Live in Tijuana. Travel to San Diego and do business in Southern California as needed. @Kingmaker convinced me that it's worth looking at. Will make sure it's safe when...

    Popeyes Sandwich: Amazing Product, Marketing, or a Bit of Both?

    MARKETING 
    A couple weeks later and Popeyes is still not in stock in most locations. The marketing was amazing, however, what they didn't calculate for was the competition responding in a week. Yeah, literally a WEEK. McDonald's is promoting their new Spicy BBQ Chicken sandwich. Wendy's responded by...

    "Hustle House": What would you want living-wise as an entrepreneur?

    HOT! 
    $30,000 for the year. $500 a month each. I have to get more info and find out if the staff is included in that price, and what the costs would be for high quality food (steak, crab, etc) per month. Utilities probably aren't included either. Location wise, I'm not sure if it's good if your goal...
