    A fundamental question for any entrepreneur: What do I want from my business?

    NOTABLE! 
    Was my first business lifestyle or enterprise? A short stroll to work, a plunge into the swimming pool beside the factory whenever I liked, tax saving business trips (holidays) to Pacific islands with my family - these all seem to point to it being a lifestyle business. When I sold it the...

    Worth it to start a business amid possible hyperinflation?

    PEOPLE QUESTION 
    The answer could be influenced by whether you are intending to start an eCommerce business or a B2B business.

    Scaling A Dropshipping Store

    SIDE HUSTLE SOURCING EXECUTION 
    Normally a sourcing agent would handle the shipping, but if you do the sourcing yourself, you simply ask the manufacturer to quote you a price including delivery to your address or a price FOB. Depending on the size and value of the shipment, delivery could be by Air Courier, in which case the...

    Scaling A Dropshipping Store

    SIDE HUSTLE SOURCING EXECUTION 
    As a general rule I would recommend that you handle the sourcing yourself. Using a Chinese sourcing agent is never a good idea because there are too many ways they can take advantage of you. A sad but good example of this has come to my attention today. A Fastlane member has been using the...

Advertisers on Alibaba an Aliexpress are rarely agents, but very often traders that don't carry inventory and shop around genuine manufacturers for one that will supply the product they have advertised. They then add their profit margin and quote you. I...

    @ masterneme I feel for you, your brother, and most of all for your mother. It seems that her diagnosis might have been guess work and has put the blame on her for being anxious.

    Here is one of my favorite quotes: The first Australian to win an Oympic Gold Medal for the marathon, when asked how he managed to do it said: "You have to be willing to cross the pain threshold." And a slightly less famous person (Walter Hay) said: "Never Give Up." Walter
