    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    Thanks man! My manufacture seemed ok to continue business with me even though I dont have a re-sellers permit (im taking the hit for the sales tax). It may be because I told him im in the process of getting a license, which I have since begun. Also, its only an order size of about $400-$500...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    So I told the manufacture that I would be more than happy to cover the cost of sales tax in the order total (because I dont have a re-sellers permit). In addition to what I posted above. He said that he would be happy to sell me the product without the license if I absorb the tax. In...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    Sent an email to the manufacture saying that we are in the process of getting the documentation and that I completely understand if he would like to wait until everything is finalized before moving forward. Interested to see his response.

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    Thank you very much for taking the time to respond.:tiphat: Wow... there is a lot I should be doing, but am not :facepalm:. I guess i'm still in the "screw the paperwork and just get started phase" and never transitioned to the "official business" stage. Would it be possible for me to cover...

    You Legally Need This To Sell!?!

    After a few months of importing from China and not having any issues, I decided to try and source some products from the US. Everything was going smoothly until it came time to pay. The manufacture asked to see copies of my business licence as well as my re sellers permit. Uhhh what? :woot: I...

    money vs morality

    MINDSET 
    If you read the book you should be familiar with the concept of "can I afford this." If you have to ask yourself the question of "can I afford this" when you want to buy something, you cant afford it. No amount of reasoning will change that. This example lends itself nicely to your situation...

    This quote brightened my day. I need to tape it to my mirror...:p But to add to the discussion. Thank goodness for consumers. Without them would there even be a fastlane? Its very interesting to think about what would happen if everyone had the "fastlane mindset". I tend to believe that some...

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Thank you for posting this. Recently I have been seriously considering working for someone for free in an hopes to get sales experience and show him that I am worth his time. Before reaching out I will make sure I am certain this is a person that shares similar values to my own. I...

    Taking on the BIG guys

    EXECUTION 
    So are the testimonials made up? Also, I'm sorry but I don't find it believable that during the "hundreds of hours" of coding you never once stopped to think about monetization. Not thinking about how you get paid may have been a *slight* oversight.

    So today is the first day that I surpassed $200 in sales on my website. It also marks a new high of daily products sold to my site at 3 units as well as a new high in visitors. The instagram contest did not happen because I was unprepared. I should have started planning it at about 4500...

    A person complimented my website saying it was better than the "big guys". Music to my ears :happy:. Ordered a new product. If it sells I will expand to 2 more sizes. That would be 3 new products. Also, my manufacture is making another variation that will have 2 more variants to it. A...

    Should I give entrepreneurship a break for a while?

    MINDSET 
    You need to stay focused. You shouldn't be messing around with options (at least not yet), especially considering the position you are in. MJ began trading AFTER he had made money and had money to invest. Bouncing around from one shiny thing to another (aka Shiny object syndrome) will divert...

    Updated my Shopify store to a premium theme. There is really something to be said about you get what you pay for. The free theme was alright, but the premium theme blows the free one out of the water. Free can only get you so far. Also, my manufacture sent me a picture of the mold we're...
