    Finally... Money CAN Buy Happiness.

    MINDSET 
    @Kak I raise you this beauty. Pure happiness comes at a very reasonable $2.8billion. Doesn't this man look happy to you? In my opinion, happiness is incredibly overrated. Your goal shouldn't be to maximize happiness, it should be minimize misery. There is a huge difference between the two...

    Found with a team or alone?

    In my experience, the vast majority of entrepreneurial teams exist because an original founder was too scared to found by themselves. There are limited circumstances in which I believe that you can justify giving up large amounts of equity to a partner, especially if they aren't bringing huge...

    *GREEN* GOLD RUSH - The Canadian POT thread: shovel ideas?!

    IDEA 
    I know a guy who runs a very large light company, selling LED lamps etc and I'm sure that they are making a killing from this. The same is true of companies that are making grow tents I imagine.

    Stage 1 - Ecommerce: The story to my first sale

    EXECUTION 
    Selling clothing online is incredibly hard. Keep in mind the average return rate is over 20% and conversion rate is very low - I believe that it's nearly impossible to make a profit dropshipping clothes at scale and I've researched the industry extensively. Customers expect free shipping within...

    A Room Full of Opportunity (Follow up on the darn leads!)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    I've been waiting two weeks for an insurance broker to call me back, despite calling them 7 times and emailing twice in the same period. These people must be allergic to money.

    Where I have been this time... and why I'm famous at Wells Fargo

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Bumping what I believe is the best thread on this entire forum. @Kak There is a company in your neck of the woods, Service Corporation International (SCI), which I believe is a fantastic example of many of the lessons that have been shared in this thread. Namely, aiming higher than others...

    Do you practice a routine?

    MINDSET 
    Scheduling and routine is everything. But the number one mistake that people make is creating a routine that they don't want to do and therefore can't stick to. I create a routine that I actually like, rather than writing a schedule which makes me uncomfortable. Truthfully, I've fallen off my...

    Creating LLC w/out name attached

    This is the right answer. This is typically how business owners maintain privacy. Plus, Delaware, in particular, has some rather business owner friendly laws which can be advantageous in situations like this as far as I recall.

    Anyone else notice that McDonalds is making a *killing* lately?

    HOT! 
    Slightly, yes. But the difference is incredibly small and this just highlights my point, which is that people don't give them enough credit for this. It's ridiculously hard to achieve. In a huge number of countries, they use local ingredients and still achieve the same finished product. Doing...

    Anyone else notice that McDonalds is making a *killing* lately?

    HOT! 
    Not everyone hates McDonald's. I actually think the food there is good, especially for the price. I can't think of another restaurant where I can go into in any city on the planet and come out with a burger that tastes the exact same. That's incredibly hard to do, practically impossible. A lot...

    Paid Advertising Crash Course

    GOLD! MARKETING SOCIAL MEDIA 
    @eliquid I've been following your posts since early Wickedfire days, as well as Eli, Pasha and a few other OG's. You guys have had a huge influence on my success over the years, which has been primarily through SEO with limited PPC. My question is regarding ad grouping. At the moment I'm using...

    “Money Can’t Buy Happiness” and other classic sidewalk bullshit.

    MINDSET RANT 
    Of course, that's the number that's averaged for across the nation. But that doesn't change the result of the study which is that earning above a specific amount shows little to no increase in happiness. The number is nearly irrelevant, but what it shows is that money can only buy a certain...

    “Money Can’t Buy Happiness” and other classic sidewalk bullshit.

    MINDSET RANT 
    This isn't exactly a new concept, it's been studied to death by some of the smartest researchers at top universities. Consistently they've found that money can only buy a limited amount of happiness and that the incremental gain in happiness per dollar drops rapidly. If I remember correctly, the...

    Is goal setting B#LLSH@t?!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm really confused by anybody that would say goal setting is useless. How can you get anywhere without a goal? Everything you do in life is because of a goal. You cook food for lunch because your goal was to satiate yourself. You drive to the restaurant because your goal is to meet your date...

    Essential supplements: Which ones do you take?

    HOT! HEALTH 
    The only real way to do this is to get a full blood panel with all of your vitamins and mineral levels and then ask for a copy. They'll probably tell you that you're within normal ranges, but those ranges are so freaking low it's ridiculous. They basically just mean that you're not deficient to...

    Ads

    RANT 
    What? Companies aren't creating these things from the good of their heart, they're here to make a profit and given that most people would clearly choose to see ads rather than pay upfront, I don't think there is a problem to solve. There are free with ad and paid versions of almost everything...

    [Progress] Growing a Cleaning Business

    NOTABLE! 
    Hey @nzott I've read through this thread a couple times now and it's been incredibly helpful, thanks for posting such detailed updates and giving advice to others. I wanted to ask a few questions and if you get a few minutes to answer I'd appreciate it, but I'm sure you're busy so no pressure...

    Where do I buy designer clothes surplus stocks?

    I have some experience in this field and a lot of companies selling luxury clothing at discounts have bought from retail rather than the designer. Two great examples of this would be Nordstrom Rack and TJMaxx. Nordstrom Rack is the off-season store which receives all of the clothes that didn't...
