    Bookkeeping Needed - Xandoo.com?

    PEOPLE 
    @SethChild -- change the link from Xandoo to Xendoo. Xandoo redirects to some bs app - I was angry at the clever "spam" and ready to be an a**hole. :rofl: Now to answer your question, I've never used Xendoo, but here's an option I'd look at: Go on Upwork and similar sites Find an accountant...

    Just finished "The Box: How the Shipping Container Made the World Smaller and the World Economy Bigger". Fascinating book for import nerds.

    :rofl: Nothing makes me cringe more about "entrepreneurs" than these videos of wantrepreneurs walking around in nature yelling at you about something they read in some book. @G.O.A.T - out of curiosity, how does someone like you go from sitting around reading books to thinking that these kinds...

    Getting Blacklisted for Spam (Cold Email Lead Techniques)

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    There's something called "sender score". Each email provider like Google will have its own score, but you can get a reference score. You can check it using services like SendGrid: Pricing and Plans | SendGrid. *Use the free version*. It doesn't matter if your email follows the law, if enough...

    Blue Collar Recession

    HOT! 
    Yup. If you're struggling to make "good" money, then drive out to the industrial district in your city. Help wanted signs everywhere, and for a lot of the jobs, the sole hiring requirement is to show up for work and not be a complete idiot.

    Getting Blacklisted for Spam (Cold Email Lead Techniques)

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    No worries, and sorry for the negative tone... just wanted to highlight the severity of running an email campaign too early. Once you get an email marked as spam, it's likely that every email on your domain becomes worthless (auto marked as spam). This is one of the few instances in business...

    Getting Blacklisted for Spam (Cold Email Lead Techniques)

    NOTABLE! MARKETING 
    Stop calling it spam and start calling it cold email. Spam implies that your product is of little value to the customer. Also, if you haven't read the book I recommended, then stop your campaign, buy it, and read it. If your domain or email gets flagged as spam, then good luck reaching any of...

    Getting Blacklisted for Spam (Cold Email Lead Techniques)

    This thread is filled with great information, but it doesn't address your original question. CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 - Wikipedia Read that. Then buy and read this: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00X7THBWG/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20. To summarize: It's not spam in the United States until they...

    Unpopular Opinion: "Give Value for Free" is Bullshit More Often Than Not

    NOTABLE! MINDSET FTE 
    One of the problems I want to point out is that the freemium model for Newton Mail created significant opportunity cost for the founders. You have smart founders that could have built anything else with their time. By going with the freemium model, they delayed the eventual receipt of feedback...

    Lessons learned saying NO to a billionaire

    Caddy? I caddied throughout high school. It was really mind opening to realize how many idiots were wealthy. With that said, push to stop working at the golf course as soon as possible. You want to be the guy golfing.

    Custom Made Beanie?

    This is easy. All you have to do is find a supplier for the material you want, and then a factory that sews overseas to make it into a beanie. Two steps. Buy @Walter Hay 's book and then let me know if you need help with anything.

    Unpopular Opinion: "Give Value for Free" is Bullshit More Often Than Not

    NOTABLE! MINDSET FTE 
    I just want to clarify: I'm not saying giving away samples is bad, but that the general wisdom that this is the only way to build a business is significantly flawed. It's a marketing strategy, and for most industries and businesses, a suboptimal one. Obviously for tech and information based...

    You joined a forum. You made a post. What changed in your life? Not shit. You're still serving assholes their sliced ham. If you want to change your life, you need to take control. You need to stop lying to yourself. You need to make a plan for growth. And after you make that plan, you need...

    I know that this opinion on this forum will be unpopular, and that it goes against what all the gurus teach, but after years of reading stories of misled entrepreneurs, I needed to make a post. Time and time again I see people following this business model: Give value for free --> People will...

    Construction jobs in Chicago are starting to pay $30 an hour starting - and even at that price have trouble finding people. $60k a year. No reason for a lot of people to go to college.

    GOLD! HOT! MINDSET 
    Maybe I'm missing something, but the numbers are inconclusive - and at the moment bad. 5 calls at 30 minutes = 2.5 hours of work. $400 coaching package A lot of extra time not counted for preparing for the call, etc; but let's exclude that for this example. Now let's say the coaching package...

    According to your calculations, you're paying: $40,000 in taxes. $35,000 living a normal lifestyle. You're left with $25,000 in disposable income. Is it possible for you to do your freelancer job from a different country? Have you considered that? Because if so, you'll triple the amount of...
