    How ingenuity gets you a Porsche

    MINDSET 
    I don't know. He wasted two years doing that. In that time he could have started a web business or some other kind of business that could be making him money on a consistent basis. This might make him decide to just trade items on craiglist, which is not a way to get wealthy.

    Money transfer services that don't show your name?

    Paypal is a third party credit card processor. This means that the payments your customers make are to them. They hold onto your money for several days and only release a small amount to you at a time in the form of a check. They also take a 2.9% cut out of every item you sell plus a $0.30...

    Venture ROI ?

    That's a very good point actually. People often make the mistake of going to venture capitalists with an idea for a company rather than one that already exists. Anyone can implement an idea; so why would they pay you money to do it when they can steal your idea and do it themselves. If...

    Is It Because I'M BLACK.

    MINDSET 
    He does need to work on those areas though. After all, he's not going to be publishing his own books; he will have to get his manuscripts approved by a publishing house and they will throw his away the moment they see his poor writing skills. It would be like someone trying to be a...

    Money transfer services that don't show your name?

    That's correct, unless it's a personal account. The business type of accounts show your business name and phone number so that your customers can call you. The personal accounts show your phone number and I believe your personal name as well, although I might be wrong about that.

    Is It Because I'M BLACK.

    MINDSET 
    I'm Black as well, but race doesn't matter. Don't let anyone else tell you what you can and can't do. Instead of getting angry and attacking that guy you should have just laughed in his face and walked away. The fact that you got so angry means that you believe what he said, at least to a...

    Greetings

    Welcome Aaron! Sorry about what happened to you; you are a hero for serving your country. I know nothing about real estate so I can't advise you on that other than to just get as much info as possible about how it works before you start. Don't just rely on your contact since she is probably...

    Type of business structure for tax purposes

    TAXES | REGS 
    So, does that mean that I would incur double taxation? I thought that was only with C-Corps. What if I don't give out dividends and just let the stock appreciate?

    People who stay up later have higher IQs

    MINDSET 
    Here's an interesting article which discusses this topic. Why Morning People Rule the World I'm a night owl but I want to change to become a morning person because most business gets done during the day. If you need to see a client, most likely they will be off work at 5pm so it wouldn't do...

    Type of business structure for tax purposes

    TAXES | REGS 
    I live in California and will probably be starting a business within the next few months. I plan on this being a very successful company, pulling in millions if not hundreds of millions in revenue within a few years time. So, what type of business is best. From what I gather, a person could...

    Money transfer services that don't show your name?

    No problem. I always try to put myself in other peoples shoes to see things from their perspective. The more trustworthy you are, the more business you will receive. People will not perceive you as trustworthy if you use fake names or other methods to avoid them tracing the product back to you.

    Messy room - does it mean anything?

    MINDSET 
    I disagree. There are so many stories of self-made billionaires and millionaires who have cluttered homes and neglected families or other aspects of their personal lives but who have very successful businesses. For example, Warren Buffett is known for being a hermit; he focuses only on his...

    Money transfer services that don't show your name?

    Well, put yourself in the customers shoes. Would you want to purchase a product without knowing either the name of the seller or the name of the company which sells the product? You want people to purchase something from you while only giving out a fake name. How would they bring legal action...

    Importing from China

    SOURCING WEB/DIGITAL 
    Does anyone know how to find a reputable Chinese clothing manufacturer. I doubt Blue will reveal what his is so does anyone know a way to find out which ones are legit and do good work?

    Messy room - does it mean anything?

    MINDSET 
    It's true that ADD tends to co-exist with dyslexia, although I think a person can have ADD without dyslexia. I can see how the two disorders relate since I've often found myself skipping ahead when reading so I end up reading backwards or doing a math problem backwards in my head. I think it's...

    Messy room - does it mean anything?

    MINDSET 
    Actually, he comes across as having ADD(attention deficit disorder). I have it and I've had problems with being organized my entire life. My room is always messy and I'm always daydreaming. This makes me more creative since I'm always thinking about things but at the same time my life is a...

    To VC or not to VC

    Sure. Venture capitalists give money to entrepreneurs in exchange for equity(partial ownership of the company). Usually, they will take anywhere from 25%-40% ownership of a company in exchange for funds ranging from 500,000 to 5 million and sometimes even more. Venture capital isn't for...

    Get to know a future millionaire

    Yea, that's certainly the case. I have this great idea for a website; I've planned it all out in my head and it's the type of business that can make billions. However, I lack the skills necessary to build the website that I want and I don't have money at the moment to pay a professional to do...
