    My last thread - some parting advice for others

    HOT! 
    Thanks, but I don't plan on selling my business for 10 million. Plus, thinking about investing my potential fortune is a waste of time right now as I wouldn't get to that stage for a few years at least; why would I come here in the meantime? Sure, there are some interesting threads here and...

    My last thread - some parting advice for others

    HOT! 
    Honestly. I haven't come across a post in months that has taught me anything new, at least as it applies to the type of business that I'm working on. If this current business that I'm working on fails and I need to work on something else then coming back would be helpful to ask experts on...

    My last thread - some parting advice for others

    HOT! 
    Hello everyone. I've been posting here for over 2 years but I've been pursuing wealth and financial freedom for over 3 years. I discovered this forum while trying to search for business info and I stayed this long because this forum is full of great advice and articles. However, I will be...

    Not just the NBA - NFL has sidewalkers....

    The comments below that article are hilarious: By the way, for those who don't know about that reference to Terrell Owens, he's also out of the league now and has money issues from bad "investments" and having lots of baby mamas. I don't feel sorry for him; he should have used a condom...

    $13M Bank Statement left in Cafe with message

    NOTABLE! EXECUTION 
    Well, the problem isn't so much that the cash earns nothing but it's actually worse than that since every year that goes by the cash depreciates in value due to inflation. But, if he's sitting on the cash to use it to buy up companies and assets quickly then that's not bad of course. Apple is...

    Back door ecommerce for Pinterest

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    This is a bad business model. Ubokia is completely dependent on Pinterest for their survival. The moment that Pinterest decides to cut them off and be the sole source for buying things through their site then Ubokia and any other service on the Pinterest platform will be screwed. Just ask all...

    African Entrepreneurs Refuse To Quit

    EXECUTION 
    True. The government of Venezuela recently nationalized the British oil company that operated there. If even large multinational companies cannot protect their interests in these countries with unstable/hostile governments then there's definitely no security for individual entrepreneurs trying...

    Not just the NBA - NFL has sidewalkers....

    He had a great deal of physical talent but he didn't take the mental aspect of the game seriously enough. He thought that raw physical talent would get him through any issue in the NFL like it did for him in college but NFL offenses and defenses are much more complicated; so they require lots...

    Not just the NBA - NFL has sidewalkers....

    Apparently he was spending on his "friends" like MC Hammer and doing other stupid things like buying out entire commercial flights. This is what happens when you assume that the money will never dry up:

    How Can 1 Million People Be So DUMB??

    An old guy approached me at the gym to tell me about this company and how if I just put in 1,000 that I'll have 100,000 by the end of the year, etc. It sounded like a scam to me as soon as he started talking but I just nodded my head and let him finish his pitch so that I could get back to my...

    DropBox: Going From Intern To $400m

    EXECUTION 
    Well the Facebook IPO kind of screwed things up for Tech startups looking to IPO for the time being but I think if Dropbox grows their revenues to justify a high IPO then it's legitimate to say that his net worth is $400 million or whatever. After all, a company like Dropbox which has paying...

    DropBox: Going From Intern To $400m

    EXECUTION 
    There's greater risk in having your assets in stocks. However, there's also a greater upside, since the value of Dropbox could and most likely will go up dramatically when they IPO. So, let's say that Dropbox is currently valued at $4 billion and his ownership percentage of that is 10% which...

    Bill Gates on Time Management: "I Don't Watch TV"

    Watching a good movie is fine in my opinion because everyone needs at least some time to occasionally unwind. If you're 100% focused on business every waking moment, I think you might have a stress induced stroke or drive yourself crazy. I'm not saying that you should slack off; but rather...

    Got a great opportunity offered today ACN ! Please criticize

    HOT! 
    Sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. You pay money to get in and whoever brings you in gets a cut of that money. I'd say run away as fast as you can.

    Would a telemarketing job build fastlane skills?

    MARKETING 
    Telemarketing will not teach you good sales skills as it applies to business. The reason being that telemarketers are taught to be pushy and to continuously/quickly talk to convince people to buy their products. But, if you're cold calling businesses to offer them something, you need to have...

    Having difficulty finding a reliable manufacturing company in CHN

    PEOPLE 
    The reason why they don't respond is because most manufacturers on Alibaba don't manufacture new products; they just sell certain products and you contact them if you want those products like a certain laptop or camera, etc. Since what you want is for them to make something new, you'll have to...

    Bill Gates on Time Management: "I Don't Watch TV"

    Other than watching live sports and the occasional business program on CNBC, I don't watch television. Not only is it a huge waste of time, but it's also incredibly boring to me. I find it very hard to sit through watching television shows. If I need news, I go online and find out what's...

    Bill Gates: Being a billionaire is overrated

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    You should definitely think/dream bigger. Aim for billions and lower your time frame. Groupon went from $0 to over a billion in revenues in less than 2 years; becoming the fastest growing company ever. The founders of Instagram sold their company for $1 billion less than two years after...

    Bill Gates: Being a billionaire is overrated

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    I agree that entrepreneurs should shoot as high as possible. Aim to be a multi-billionaire, since having that as a goal means that you're thinking big. The flip side would be someone who just wants to make enough money from their business to pay their rent, food costs, etc. like a Mom & Pops...

    Grocery Express - "Click and Collect"

    Most people aren't as wealthy as you are though. They would be thinking more about the cost of delivery as opposed to the convenience of it.
