    Tax Strategy For Wealth Protection/Investments

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    Thanks for writing this Trivium, this is something I've been thinking about lately. Does this work for asset protection? Say Ecom Company One sells a product, someone gets injured or there is a frivolous lawsuit, what is the most you can lose? All of the assets from Ecom Company One? Assets from...

    Why I'm Dropping Out Of College

    EXECUTION 
    Critical analysis. Be brutally honest with yourself. Have you/are you: researched how to make a killer eBay listing providing a great product at a price that people value using an established eBay account with lots of positive feedback (if not, are you working hard to attain this) providing a...

    Why I'm Dropping Out Of College

    EXECUTION 
    I think you have already summarized it. You may want to unlearn this trait. If something's not working for you, maybe you should be evaluating your alternatives?

    How Does An Entrepreneur.. Relax

    MINDSET 
    Hell yes. I find watching a half hour or so of TV before bed helps me to switch off. If I read or learn something I'm laying in bed thinking for the next 3 hours.

    Music that Motivates

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Loving this thread! Very diverse. Stay up, wake up, cake up, get paper! For some reason, these guys get me to be the most productive I can be. Their lyrics are not positive, but whatever it is, it works. Maybe their bleak outlook encourages a sink or swim approach to life... and I'm not sinking.

    How Does An Entrepreneur.. Relax

    MINDSET 
    If you are very driven to make it work, remember that being sick/unproductive/etc is not going to help you get to your goal. My wife used to be a school teacher. She used to go to work when she was unwell only to end up extremely unwell a few days later having to take a week off. She couldn't...

    I'm over 1/3rd the way to A Milli(million dollars)... new to forum... not new to the process

    INTRO 
    Check out the edX entrepreneurship courses through MIT. They are free and may give you an insight into what college is all about. Though I dropped out 6 months into my degree. Best thing I've ever done!

    What's stopping you?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    To follow up, here's a perfect example of comfort clouding progress. I have a contact that has gone through all of the above in his lifetime. He: Started a marketing company to re-brand and sell products manufactured elsewhere. Realised that his components had much room for improvement, so...

    What's stopping you?

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    Inspiring thread. I have a few slowlane streams already. What is stopping me from starting the business I should be running though? Lack of knowledge mainly. Comfort too. How do I create 3d drawings of products I can visualise in my head, but suck at putting down on paper/digital? How do I...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Nothing wrong with that. Working on a car, gardening, those types of things can be quite relaxing and very rewarding. It certainly is a lesson in patience at times.

    Time to get serious!

    INTRO 
    Firstly, thanks to MJ and the community for having me. I'm an early 30's Aussie with fairly simple values - I want to provide the best possible life I can for my wife and future family. Yes, I want the nice things, but ultimately I want to provide a safe, warm home for my family with food on...

    Foreign Asset Protection/Banking: How To Get Started?

    Yes I completely agree with this GW. Though I am not an American myself and I have not done it personally, I suspect the best chance (never say never - but you also need to know when it's not worth the time spent) for an American to open an account in Singapore is with OCBC Premier. DBS seem...

    What's your Lambo? What's your WHY or PURPOSE?

    NOTABLE! CHAT 
    Most definitely freedom. Freedom to work when I want. Freedom to take the day off if I'm not feeling productive. Freedom to live wherever I want. Freedom to travel if something cool is happening in a different part of the world. Freedom to take care of my future kids and have fun with them. I...

    Foreign Asset Protection/Banking: How To Get Started?

    As GlobalWealth mentioned, you might consider ETFs to park your funds. An inexpensive and simple enough account to open with is http://www.boom.com/en/. They operate out of Hong Kong and are quite affordable as far as trading goes. I am not an American myself, but I have heard that they are open...
