    Anyone involved in Worldwide Dream Builders/Amway?

    HOT! 
    The hidden secret is like G-Man said. Years ago, a guy hit on me at a bookstore. Gave me a Robert Kiyosaki book (how do you think a mediocre author like him sold so many books?). At the time, I was selling my own content on CDs and distributing a few hundred of them per month and making some...

    Inspired to become an entrepreneur

    INTRO 
    Solid. In addition to the potential nepotism issue MJ highlighted, print shops got squeezed pretty hard the last 20 years. There used to be a kinkos on every other corner. Many of those closed, the ones that remain are more like a mailboxes, etc type of model. There's still a demand for...

    Commercial Real Estate Professional New to Forum

    INTRO 
    I recall back over 10 years ago, myself and others wondered how the market would behave in a rising interest rate environment, which would be drastically different from the previous two decades of never ending interest lowering. I foresaw the residential bubble, as the percentage of arm loans...

    Are You Depressed? Paralyzed By Fear? Try this...

    Thank you for posting this. I think even besides all the likes and comments you've gotten, you have stumbled upon a truth for all of us to learn from: producing cures emotion. Your post will linger with me for a long while, and again, thank you for that.

    Re-introducing myself the right way

    INTRO 
    Careful with that. You provided value to your employer. Sometimes when you're grinding away, it's difficult to see, but it's there. If you're helping operations, or a division function in some capacity, you were providing value to the company and helping them make billions. Give yourself that...

    MY BIGGEST FAILURE in the app business (compelling intro for my book?)

    Catastrophic opens are good. It's the "hero in danger" opening and the goal is to leave the reader wanting to figure out how the hero will get out of danger. If the opening scene comes from the middle of the story, the reader gets to find out how the hero got into trouble AND how he gets out...

    I will help you find a product to sell on Amazon

    GOLD! 
    Of course I'm not bio nor do I have his expertise, but I did buy a roller in the last year from someone importing, packaging and branding. They promoted through youtube, and had a lot of how to videos along with product reviews (which their own always won). From what I could tell, they were...

    Amazon is ruthless...

    I would assume (because they've been doing it for a few years now) that Amazon would look for generics to import under their own brand.They know what's searched for, they know the sales velocity, it's not difficult for a team at Amazon to continually look around and find the low hanging fruit...

    I want to change the educational system...but I don't know how

    For clarification, what type of solution are you talking about? Is your proposal pedagogical, or does it address school operations? Does it solve hiring problems, retention problems? Etc... etc. Your strategy for moving forward would depend on what type of problem you're solving.

    The value skew is high, I want in. :)

    Hi! I'm a piece of sh*t dropshipper transitioning into creating a real, sustainable business!

    INTRO 
    Drop shipping has been around for decades and promoted by gurus everywhere, and yet you've still managed to make it work. No doubt that you have some insight. I look forward to reading more from you down the road!

    Giving up on my business

    Food service is a tough because it's so competitive. To succeed in the long run, you'll have to build a brand that can scale. To build a brand, you have to differentiate on multiple metrics. When potential customers see your truck, they have to tell their friends, "have you tried this XXXX? You...

    Recommend Goal Setting Books or Courses

    The top three books I read in the last year: Unscripted 10x The One Thing If you haven't read them, I suggest you do. Those last two are very pertinent to goals.

    People keep saying to read more

    As someone who has read hundreds of books in the last several years, I've found this to be mostly true. Often times I've had epiphanies while reading. It's usually something smaller that an author says that hits me just right. The problem is, it takes a lot of effort and time to read so much to...

    I've Read UNSCRIPTED!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Purchased this book the week it came out back in May. I just finished reading it last night. The reason it took so long was purposeful. I didn't want to devour the book in two days. Instead, I wanted to read a page or two every single day to get my mind into the mental habit. After so long, MJ's...

    I've Read The Millionaire Fastlane!

    GOLD! HOT! 
    Before I read The Millionaire Fastlane a few years ago, I read books like crazy. I would average between 50-100+ books per year. When I read TMF, I stopped reading entirely and couldn't pick up another book for months. It's a true story. I really felt as though MJ said it all. There was nothing...

    Rate My Book Cover

    HOT! 
    IMO, the new cover needs some red somewhere. If it were my cover, I'd play around with altering some text color on that cover.

    Found This Story: My brother killed himself because of BTC

    That's life. You cannot predict the future. When I see the current the BTC price hockey stick, I feel a little down, too. We all could have bought in a long time ago and we imagine what it would be like if we did. But this is toxic thinking. Instead of trying to view life through hindsight...

    An "Attracting Women" Video Course

    HOT! 
    Eben Pagan made millions in pick-up. There will always be demand. However, the problem is it's such a hackneyed segment. Even I authored a little book that I used to sell on the subject. I used basic psychology a lot (no negs or scripted patterns). I'm guessing everyone under the sun is selling...

    Multifamily Returns - MTM Leasing vs. Airbnb ?

    AIRBNB 
    I stayed at a house off airbnb who was using this model. She bought the house as a foreclosure dirt cheap and appears to be cashflowing extremely well. It really made me think that there's now another way to do real estate and that today's prices aren't so outrageous - potentially, it all...
