    My meaning is this, many people don't see it the right way. Bob says,"If I publish my e-book on Amazon they are going to take 30% of my sale and I am going to get 70%, So instead I am going to self publish on my own website and get 100% ." Bob goes ahead and does exactly that and sells 10,000...

    Amazon is one heck of a platform but you know how big a slice of your books they take. 50% of a 1,000,000 is still better than 100% of 10,000

    The pulling away of brands from Amazon is already happening because Amazon has gotten a little too greedy with it's fees and people are finding better value elsewhere. Shift happens. Adapt or be slaughtered applies to Amazon as well. I call them "the laws of reality" you break them and reality...

    Just like the horse carriage industry tried to kill the car industry, it is a weak strategy destined to fail once a superior innovation "creative energy" shows up and changes the game. When you stop innovating and start relying on government manipulation to protect your interests someone is...

    I see the Amazon Basics line as a little parasitic in nature but not much of a threat as all they are doing is taking cheap "best sellers" in a category, sourcing them and putting their name on those products. What I see happening is "nobody" brands doing the same thing in reverse by sourcing...

    Hindsight is 20/20 foresight different story but obviously you are learning. I am learning to ask what is the cost of the fine or of breaking the contract instead of being intimidated by it. All the best.

    LOL people still read "scripted" "newspapers"? BTW I am not convinced that the mainstream media Washington Compost buy by Amazon was a winner deal. But then again I don't consume mainstream media "news" so I have a huge bias.

    Exactly! The "creative energy" dynamic people like you and me bring to market make us market leaders. The market "replicators" like Amazon who take proven product winners and brand them as their own will always be market followers. Every generic product eventually gets commoditized but "creative...

    The Amazon Basics brand products are very "generic" in nature which is OK. I have purchased a few of them but they are basically the same as many of the "nobody" brands the only value that Amazon brings to the table with their product offering is an assurance of QC (from what I can tell) which...

    As I said, "the creative energy" these "nobody" brands bring to the market are part of the value proposition. I think Amazon as a big corporate entity will always be chasing the creative leaders product offerings. I don't see Amazon taking chances with risky product offerings like the "spinner...

    My bias here, I am considering making my own brand and selling on Amazon. You never know what the motivation of the person writing the article is (other than going viral or getting clicks) they may be in a partnership with Alibaba, Jet or even Amazon and trying to manipulate the market. Who...

    Why not refinance the place for $300K, keep the place and revenue it brings in, take the difference and invest that? Hmmmm

    I have learned much from Grant about sales and real estate just watching what he teaches on youtube. He teaches many of his strategies, analysis and target markets for real estate on his Youtube videos. BTW he is a master marketer and I understand that but I would not (personally) call what he...

    Yet another Unscripted first reader. BTW I have read the sample chapters and will read Unscripted. I powering through a stack of "entrepreneur" books and set up a new rule not to buy any more until I have digested what I already have. Unscripted is like the dessert I am promising myself after I...

    100% Agree with you here MJ. It's easy to say,"Follow your passion when you are a billionaire!" You can afford to waste millions on useless passions like a passion for sunbathing on the French Riviera watching topless ladies! Yea follow your passion! Right. I like what Grant Cardone said about...

    Why not take the profit at $280k or higher as they are selling like hotcakes, I would go for $300K and see if it sells in a week instead of a couple of days and reinvest in more doors. The bank will give you way more money now you have a bigger down on your next buy I am sure and if you've been...

    Oh the INSANE irony this man preaches. "My secretary is in a higher tax bracket than I am." Warren Buffet. But Warren every one in your employees is a W2 worker. No one ever asks him why he is not a W2 employee and does not draw a salary. They just let him spew about how "The rich" don't pay...
