    STAPLES: The Books you CONTINUE to Re-Read

    BOOKS 
    The 48 laws has become my bible--the book I read everyday. I pick 2 new laws each day to incorporate into my decision making & dealing with people. This kind of book has to be read daily if you actually want the laws to sink in and be put to use.

    Grant Cardone "Buying a House is for Suckers"

    EXECUTION 
    Cardone said that buying a property is not an investment unless it generates cash-flow every month. THAT was a huge gold nugget for me. He also said that you would be tied down and couldn't move easily. My initial reason to not buy, and rent instead.

    S Corp vs LLC for web business?

    PEOPLE 
    I've been researching llc too. Make sure you look up "vesting equity." Meaning, the person has to stay active with the company for 1 year to get 25% of the agreed equity, then each month after that they get increasing equity until they get to the full agreed amount

    Sounds like some of you have to travel 2+ hours to get here. In my opinion, it's not worth it if you have to drive that far. What do you expect to get out of the meetup?

    NOTABLE! FTE 
    If you were to become rich overnight with $10 million, would you make any future posts on facebook with your new cars, boats, vacation, mansion, etc? Or would you delete facebook and avoid letting anybody know you are rich? I think getting people's validation may be the biggest influence in...

    Are you actually mad about a $10 mistake? I made a dumb $365 mistake on fiverr this week and learned a lesson. Everything you do in this world is your fault, whether it's good or bad. You could have read the synopsis/reviews beforehand.
