    Office lease

    Looks at comparables. Check out Loopnet or whatever dominates the local market. Figure out the cost per square foot in that area for something similar. Then negotiate down as much as you think possible. Note: commercial real estate is currently at an all time high. Office space is getting more...

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I'll try to chime in and write a long post when I have more time, but to summarize: Get two houses. Get the best of both worlds. Don't establish tax residency if you don't have to.

    There's a bunch of participation trophies: Getting to tell people you're "CEO" Business cards with your made up title A website with your goofy smile on it An Instagram account that says you're a business owner A company credit card with your company name on it that you get to use and tell...

    PSA: Reading TMFL or Unscripted does not mean that you can be a lazy idiot!

    This thread is mostly directed at college kids here but also applies to others. Time and time again we see this process on this forum: Someone reads The Millionaire Fastlane or Unscripted Decide that they're "enlightened" Drop out of school so they can "leave the rat race" Do absolutely...

    Stop being an idiot. This is one of the dumbest threads I've see in awhile. You either want to make money or don't. There's not going to be a checkbox you get to seek and cross off that gives you a burst of energy and motivation. Be lazy and live with mommy, or find your balls and make money...

    Got to hand it to you: You have a lot bigger balls than I do. With that said, your video presence is really good, so I'm excited to see what comes in 2019. As for your existing business, what happened to that? How are you starting a new company from scratch? You sold that one, or are branding...

    I have a business nobody can copy, my product is well made with good price. Help me sell more.

    I'm not saying that your business can't do better, I'm just asking if it's worth the effort? Let's say: You put in 100% of effort into this business. Where will you be in 5 years? Versus: You put in 100% effort into a different business? Where will that be in 5 years? My point: Just because...

    I have a business nobody can copy, my product is well made with good price. Help me sell more.

    You started in a market where you had a monopoly and then 30 years later became a bankrupted commodity. Why are you trying to force this into a success? You're competing against an ever increasing number of competitors (manufacturers and marketers); if you don't have a foothold in the market...

    My 2000th Post on TheFastlaneForum

    I mentioned this in Bali, and just want to say it again: You were a big inspiration for me to grow my business enough to start traveling the world. You were the definition of the lifestyle that I wanted, and in a lot of ways still are. It's been a wild journey since first reading your posts...

    @eliquid - I'm also an INTJ, and it seems that you put a lot of effort into studying your personality and what helps you be successful. Any takeaways for INTJ's? Or resources worth reading on the topic?

    You need to change your approach to how you "invest" money (start using invest instead of spend). You were in Vietnam, where for $1,000 a month you could've had a great apartment and quality of life. There was no reason to pinch pennies and ruin your health. You could've had talented...

    Locating manufacturers (prefereably not in China)

    Trade shows. Stop trying to find everything on "Alibaba" or "ThomasNet". Find a trade show website. Find the exhibitors. Get in touch. Note: this won't work if your volume is too small.

    In my opinion, it's incredibly difficult for you to both start a successful business and get into the UFC. 90+% of businesses fail. I'm guessing at least 99.9+% of UFC want-to-be's fail. Therefore, your probability of success is: (1-.9)*(1-.999) = 0.01% -- and that's an overestimate. How many...
