    How often do you want to quit?

    MINDSET FTE 
    I've thought about quitting but I never will, I'm young, have nothing to loose and will never be in a better place in time to do what I'm doing. If you feel like quitting go and find someone with a job and just listen to them complaining...that should get you back into the zone fast enough.

    Sales Advice

    MARKETING 
    I found that finding a common interest always works well or if you are not interested just shut up and listen to the customer talking and by the time you start selling they are already head over heels with how good you are at listening and how interested you are with them. People love to feel...

    Is it really THAT hard? Can I do it?

    EXECUTION 
    The biggest difference between working for yourself and working for somebody else is when you can switch off. When you work for someone else 5pm rolls around and you can forget about work until the next morning. When you work for yourself you can never switch off. You will never have this '40...

    How To Stop Competitors From Competing In The First Place.

    It sure lit a fire under my a$$ when I saw his auctions appear and I have 60K worth of stock. In a way it was the motivation I needed to take some more action to drive sales and I now have 2 big deliveries going to clients this week!

    How To Stop Competitors From Competing In The First Place.

    Thanks for the tip! When I noticed a competitor selling my product online (Even though I have a sole supply agreement for my country) I promptly ordered samples and saw his brochure had a URL which didn't work. I then bought his domain names and redirected them to my website. I then also...

    Good friend of mine does this and things are going well in terms of profitability of the business and inquiries. Only advice would be to look into public liability insurance should an unfortunate event occur.

    Should you ever pursue more than one idea?

    IDEA 
    I currently have several different businesses all working. Yes it is slower to grow multiple businesses then to focus on one but I find having diversity helps to spread risk and spark ideas and motivations in different areas of my brain. For example if I get stuck on one business instead of...
