    The Home Run vs The Single

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I'm not really all that sure that swinging for the fences is a bad thing. For example, I'm currently working on one venture that has huge growth potential. But I've also had a few other e-biz ideas that were very small and didn't allow for a profit. I was thinking about building a site that...

    Becoming bigger than your problems

    MINDSET 
    I think exercise is a great way to calm anxiety. I know that it definitely helps me. I also look at the big picture of things and that often the things that I get worked up about aren't really that big of a deal anyways.

    What's your ultimate purpose besides financial success?

    After I become financially free I want to start a band. I think that's one of my biggest non-finance related goals. I'd also like to travel around the country and the world. Not to see historical structures or monuments or anything, but just to visit different cities and hang out there for a...

    How far / long do you commute?

    I live in a suburban area outside of New York City and there's a main road called taconic south that gets all the commuter workers that live here to the city. In order to get on that highway you have to take this one lane, main road that coincidentally is the same road I take to get to school...

    Action Takers - What Are You Up To?

    HOT! 
    I had the same problem you had with the writing section. I got straight A's all three years in High School English and bombed the writing section of the SATs. It was weird.

    Do you use dropshippers for your online business?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I've heard of a place called World Wide Brands. The cool thing is that it gives you a huge list of drop shippers and market research on how the product sells. The not so cool thing is that is costs $300. It's a one time fee only but it's still really high. If anyone knows of any other directory...

    Commercial RE Management

    REAL ESTATE 
    I'm actually in a position just like this. I have a bank account worth about $4k which isn't a good sum to start with and ontop of that I'm going to college. My plan is to start a venture and take all those profits and invest them into real estate. I'm trying my hardest so I don't have to get a...

    What was the source of your early financial education?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Re: What was the source of your early financial educaion? I was given a copy of Rich Dad Poor Dad when I was 13 by my Uncle. Back then he was just starting out and I remember thinking he was so successful by owning a small plastics company. Today he owns a huge manufacturing plant. After...

    Community newsletter to provide a student income

    I completely forgot who did it, but there was a college kid I think on the RD forums that had a monthly 4-page mini magazine. Basically he just wrote a few small articles but big time advertisers like Budweiser payed large sums to reach his college student audience. I'm not sure if you're still...

    Site that lists E-Biz That Are For Sale

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    BizBuySell.com and Bizquest.com are a couple sites I've heard of. I've heard of some people doing what you're thinking about doing and it could probably be great. Just make sure that the price you're paying for the site isn't higher than the price it would be to make a brand new site because...

    My plan for life (as of now)

    Hey Randall. Thanks for the advice. My sister said Babson was Ivy league but she doesn't know anything so I'll trust you :smxB: Since I'm a real estate noob I was thinking about the pros and cons of being in New York City. Obviously it's a huge real estate market but it's no longer developing...

    My plan for life (as of now)

    I went to the city earlier today and walked around some of the NYU dorms and class rooms. I didn't go on a tour or anything because its the weekend and they don't have anything but the entire atmosphere is amazing. I loved just hanging out in Washington Square. It's definitely one of the better...

    My plan for life (as of now)

    I'm majoring in Business Administration. The schools I'm looking at (Babson, Loyola Marymount, USC, Syracuse) offer business administration with a concentration in entrepreneurship. I've also read though that NYU goes even further has an entrepreneurship real estate program. I've visited most of...

    My plan for life (as of now)

    Hey Kurt. I completely agree with you. Unfortunately, my mom is a school teacher and my dad is a corporate manager so there's really no escaping it. If for whatever reason I were to become financially free from one of my ventures I would just finish my two years at community college and end it...

    how much to build this site - ballpark

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I used RentaCoder.com and I found a designer. He lives in Brazil and he has a huge resume and I'm getting a small web site project built for $500. The site doesn't involve a shopping cart so that saved me a bunch of money. He's building it using open source. Basically he's going to do all the...

    Step by Step: Systemizing the Business

    Congrats Steve that's awesome. I read the E Myth too and I enjoyed it. Before then I didn't really consider franchises to be profitable, but after I read the book I understand that it's a great way to start out if you have the money. The book also teaches to literally fill out the company ladder...

    My plan for life (as of now)

    I was reading a book called "Nothing Down." It's a pretty controversial book - some people think it's the worst book about real estate ever while others refer to it as the Real Estate Bible. I thought it was OK, but what I loved was the beginning part about making your game plan. It's the best...

    Marijuana and Success... Possible?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Thanks for the advice. I'm actually graduating early and I'll be going to college this January. It's going to be pretty exciting, living in a dorm yet still being 17. Everyone I've talked to have said they liked college more than high school, and I've been living like every year was senior year...

    Marijuana and Success... Possible?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    There are probably a bunch of people on here who can tell you all the harmful effects health wise, but I have my own experiences in terms of business. I used to hang out with chronic users like you did for a while but that stopped last spring. I was never into marijuana, but I would party and...
