    Big choice, please advise

    MINDSET 
    You have one semester left...how is this even a big decision? Maybe if you had over a year left or the like, before you started a major. I'm sure industrial design is useful and you have 3-4 months of your life left in school. Why would you consider dropping out, unless you were dying in the...

    It's time to get my shit together; sell eBooks

    EXECUTION 
    Not sure if this was referred to in others' comments, but on your page, you say "I respect Privacy" and then you say "We will never spam." I'd make it a congruent "We" to show it isn't a one man operation.

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 2)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I kind of let go of my flipping ventures. I was buying decent amount of video game stuff at the beginning, but then inventory/finds slowed down and I also got a little more picky. I no longer wanted to drive and buy for $40 even when I could make $80 profit on it, as that could mean several...

    Preserving Wealth, My #1 Tip. Don't Get Married! (Or Maybe You Should?)

    NOTABLE! 
    That's what freaks me out about marriage, as I'm on the "cusp/past due" of getting engaged (5+ year relationship, almost 29)...I'm hesitant because of becoming wealthy after I am married. I am nowhere near Fastlane, but one of my worries is how money can change people/situation/relationships...

    Moving out... to face myself and find a happier place

    MINDSET 
    The one good thing about living at home is how cheaply you can live and have things provided while saving money. Is there any way you can avoid your father? Maybe when he comes home, eat dinner, then go to your room and do your own thing? Moving out is definitely a strong option, as this will...

    Why I Dropped Out of College to Be a Salesman

    MINDSET 
    I think you come off really wrong in your post, yet again. Haven't read a ton of your others, and wouldn't be in the class of "haters," but I think you should re-tone your post and turn this thread into some gold of some sort. Yeah, you said you were a salesman, you had haters, MJ quoted you...

    I am getting a real job

    Sure...if you want all of your energy drained so you won't work on your business, will end up in a cubicle talking about fantasy sports (if that's what you call networking), and will start buying more things to get in debt (if that's what you mean by saving money). You will catch some flack...

    Workout Accountablity Thread

    HOT! 
    Ive been working out with Athlean X program now for about 4-5 weeks...usually working out 6-7 days/wk though because gf is a cardio nut (bleh) and likes to do elliptical a lot of days. I don't do weights on all...usually do the strength training they have m/w/f and some cardio type routine on...

    Is selling Physical Products online via Amazon, Ebay etc fastlane?

    EXECUTION 
    I think since I am encountering a lower demographic, as well as just seeing some of the people doing this, I, personally, don't feel like I am providing much value. Granted, I am keeping costs lower for consumers, making shopping easy by not having to sift through stores, and so forth...but I...

    Is selling Physical Products online via Amazon, Ebay etc fastlane?

    EXECUTION 
    I am in a couple of reseller groups on Facebook, and have listened to some of these chat videos or "hangouts" as they call them. There are several people taking this very seriously; aka sourcing from thrift shops, Goodwills, auctions, etc. I also have done a bit of flipping myself, mainly with...

    How to find a strong why?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I have some of the same fears, and working to overcome the limiting beliefs. I, too, feel like I will miss out on a lot by not becoming wealthy. But the way to get there is by providing, building, creating something for others. They are the pathway to your happiness. If you want to get rich...

    Edible Garden Kits

    Not sure if you care, or if this is even relevant....but your idea just sparked a recollection in my mind on a recent Sharktank episode. He made a box of portable grass for pets to go bathroom on. He ended up getting a deal on it. His was a subscription service, I think $25 per delivery...

    How to find a strong why?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Holy moly...I am selfish as well, and people royally piss me off. But do you not want to imprint your name into society? All of the names they talk about in books you read over and over and OVER...Edison, Franklin, Jobs, Ford, on and on....these people changed mankind. I get where you are...

    Gamblers - what's your game?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Lol awhat? You arent specifically counting, but this is the basis for counting. You are saying there are more high cards left, so deck is in your favor. What you are doing is kind of half a$$ counting lol. You are making a random guess as to what the count is, and trying to time your bets. If...

    Make Six Figures From YouTube/eBooks

    EXECUTION 
    You sound like one busy dude! Seems like it would take a ridiculous amount of focus to juggle ebook writing, real estate learning, and then youtube/twitch; but maybe it doesn't take as much time as I am thinking. Which area are your ebooks in, or are they in various areas? Like do you write...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    Ha, don't cave in vs their beauty? Girls are stubborn sometimes :p That's what makes relationships alone difficult...men and women think differently lol. I don't think I've dealt with too many women. I've already negotiated my prices beforehand, as mentioned in previous posts. I don't like...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    For the 2 months I've been flipping, I never sell at a loss. The only times I've sold at a loss were just recently when I didn't check a GPS before sending off, and the guy says it doesn't load. I also just bought a PS3 that I can't get as much as I want, due to me not playing long enough and...

    A Hustler's Guide To Buying And Selling Anything (Part 1)

    GOLD! SIDE HUSTLE 
    In regards to agreeing on price, this is what we were just discussing in the flipping group on skype. One guy mentioned to lowball on the spot, then say you have some extra in the car (still below what you agreed to). I, however, disgree and work out a price beforehand; only discounting on the...

    What are your daily habits?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    This is exactly what I want to do. Girlfriend gets pissed with me sleeping while she is getting ready to go to work, so I actually go to bed at midnight, wake up at 6, wake until she leaves, then sleep another 1-2 hrs. I just can't stay awake...sorry excuse, but I just don't function. Really...
