    Thank You MJ For..............(Add your reason here)

    HOT! 
    Introducing me to options trading! I've been doing this about 1.5 years now and I love it. I feel like a better steward of my overall investment portfolio just for having been exposed to this stuff.

    Any Programs/Sites to Play with Stocks/Options?

    INVESTING 
    Cool, if that's the case then I'd just get a robo-investor like Wealthfront or Betterment (or even save everything in cash!). You can miss out on 12% returns for a year or two while you get your income up. Then when you can throw a shitload of money into your investments, you can have 80% be...

    I've heard Optionhouse is good, but I would start with Kirk's free stuff at optionalpha.com. He has a BUNCH of free courses that tell you everything you need to get started. He also uses the Thinkorswim platform so you can see how he sets that up and you can do paper-trading from there. Test...

    Business school: is it worth it ?

    MBA graduate here. It was a waste of time. I should have just started my business 2 years earlier. But, getting an undergraduate degree in Electrical Engineering was the best decision of my life. Business school is great if you go to ivy league and make connections. If you are just going...

    WTF does Tai Lopez do?

    Hell, I can recommend a good book. Neuromancer was pretty dope. That was easy.

    I don't want to contribute to an IRA. Am I nuts?

    INVESTING 
    Between those two comments alone, I'd say that's "/thread" for me. Thank you guys for the perspective. No employer since I started my business, so no worry there. When I was employed, I'd always grab the matching contribution though. Proud to say "No!" :) I busted my a$$ in school to keep...

    I don't want to contribute to an IRA. Am I nuts?

    INVESTING 
    Dang, all great stuff to think about! Thanks for the input so far! I don't have a 401(k) since I don't have a slowlane job anymore, but I do have a Roth IRA account I set up for myself. I'm very active in managing it and get way more than 5%, thanks to the Options Trading threads in the...

    I don't want to contribute to an IRA. Am I nuts?

    INVESTING 
    Hola my kittens! I don't want to contribute to a tax-advantaged IRA or Roth IRA since I can't pull my money out until age 59.5.* I want to invest my money in a normal brokerage account, so I can liquidate and invest it elsewhere if an opportunity comes up. Am I crazy? What do you think...

    Has anyone on this forum become a millionaire from reading TMF?

    HOT! 
    No worries! To answer the question in the spirit it was asked: I think MJ will be the first to say that reading that book won't make you a millionaire. It's a combination of a lot of things, and adopting the mindset put forward in the book is just one piece of the puzzle. Have people become...

    The End of Moore's law - what might the business implications be?

    Moore's law will continue to hold true for transistors, but a new computing paradigm will come in right behind it and pick up where the physical limitations of doped-semiconductor-based electronics start to fail. Vacuum tubes held to Moore's Law too when they extrapolated the law backwards in...

    Why not a charity? I joined Engineers Without Borders, for example, and met a lot of engineers in my city and the surrounding states.

    Do visible tattoos negatively impact entrepreneurs business with customers, clients, or investors?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    I started a business because I want FREEDOM. For me, it's all about crafting the life I want to live, and not living by other people's judgments. Of course, on the way to reaching that life, you have to make some concessions. You can't just walk into a club and sit down in the VIP section...

    Jeff Sauer PPC Mastery Course. Legit or just overpriced?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I'm gonna have to unfollow this convo since there is so much BS going on in here. Just understand, devine, that there aren't any hard-and-fast rules for how to market, price, and promote your product. I have first-hand knowledge that Appsumo only will partner with companies who benefit from...

    Jeff Sauer PPC Mastery Course. Legit or just overpriced?

    HOT! MARKETING 
    I definitely disagree here. Appsumo has such an ENORMOUS mailing list, that people cut huge deals for them to get a giant injection of cash and new users. There are companies who got off the ground because of an appsumo deal that got them a userbase and a ton of cash to cover operating for the...

    Designed a Product for a Company to Make and Sell - What % of each sale should I ask for?

    Jumping back in to touch on a question in the thread that I missed Back in my first year of doing this, I read a ton of blogs, books, podcasts, and other wannabe entrepreneur stuff about NDAs and they all made it seem like it was super important. Honestly, I think NDAs are a vanity thing...

    Designed a Product for a Company to Make and Sell - What % of each sale should I ask for?

    AC will also cut you a huge deal if you get a quote from them. You have to provide contact info, and later a rep will call you asking if the quote was reasonable for you. This is the guy you'd negotiate with ;) Just be honest and let them know your typical costs on previous runs. AC will...

    Designed a Product for a Company to Make and Sell - What % of each sale should I ask for?

    Yup! That's the situation here. Much more complicated and unique designs I keep for myself, manufacture them, and wholesale them to stores or sell them on my site. This situation was a component selling company being a fan of mine and asking for a few custom (but simple) designs that they...
