    Same. I have reached out to several law firms at this point and awaiting responses. Had a few recommendations from friends on this front. Will let you know if I find someone solid to deal with.

    Services vs Products

    Thanks for the tag @Andy Black . As many of you may know, I am building up my agency and refining it day in and day out. Personally, I really like the service I offer and have no plans of abandoning ship until I see it all the way to the end. The business is flexible, adaptive, and dynamic...

    Thanks for the kind words Eduardo, same feelings here bro, can't wait! Hiring. Lots and lots of hiring. I've brought on some really great people so far and working towards getting more of the same. Only advice I can provide at this point is this: Shitty days come and go. But no matter what...

    International Sales: Bringing Factories + Buyers Together

    EXECUTION 
    Love this! Huge opportunity here from what I have experienced first hand and market conditions as you described. This type of business on this type of path can get extremely lucrative if you scale it right. This is one area where I could see a fully outsourced Filipino sales team working quite...

    How can you provide value to the money chasers? What do they need? What problems and struggles do they have? Smells like opportunity to me.

    Youtube's #1 Earner is a 7 Year Old Who Plays with Toys

    HOT! 
    Fingers crossed the kid turns out OKAY as an adult. Either way, he's in for a hell of a ride. In this case, I see no harm done. On the topic of the Youtube Ad inventory, it's channels geared towards kids that act as a black hole for advertisers in many respects. If you've had any experience...

    Supreme Court: Online shoppers can be forced to pay sales tax

    TAXES | REGS FEATURED! 
    This is EXACTLY the type of craziness I was expecting. The short term play for smaller ecom stores will be just completely avoid sales in places that enact such legislation.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Just moved into a new place recently and wanted to get a new TV for my living room (common area as I have employees here during weekdays) and a PS4 so we can do some team building exercises on break time :) Kohl's PS4 deal for $199 and $60 Kohl's cash is just a solid deal. Will be going to Best...

    What do you think about the latest craze - chatbots?

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    I think a lot of you are missing the real power of chatbots via mediums such as FB. It's in the sense of building a powerful, high engagement list that chatbots currently stand alone. I do a large amount of my networking, prospecting, and sales conversations via Facebook. I hear a lot of the...

    Sloth makes all things difficult; industry all easy. -fortune cookie (this one came at just the right time back in 2016. It had such a profiund impact on me to get back in the game and start swinging again. I still have it taped to my keyboard as a constant reminder.) Man is made or unmade by...

    Brazilian women are my weakness. Seriously, I need to stay far away from them. But I wouldn't want to live there due to all of the reasons mentioned so far. Well, maybe here: Sao Paulo, Sao Paulo, Brazil – Luxury Home For Sale

    How many Business Failures did you have before success?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    6 for me. Seems like 6-7 seems to be the common theme here. With proper education and direction this number can surely be reduced. The older I get the more I truly see how experience in entrepreneurship is at such a great toll to sanity and general well being. If I had to do it all over again...

    Going "All In"

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    And I'm all in again. Difference? I took the time to gain new skills, eliminated all debt (shackles), figured out how to generate a lot of recurring income, and much more. Much better probabilities and it made total sense to go all in this time around. Was it still an unnatural, scary feeling...
