    Functional Illiteracy Is Spreading Across the World

    RANT 
    This subject is dear to my heart. I see not only the laziness that you encounter, but an abject failure on the part of both sides of the education system. Teachers are failing to teach the English language correctly and students are failing to bother learning what little is put before them...

    Expanding and separating my business??

    8 years would definitely have won you some SEO ranking, so I agree about not changing the name now. Because you make the letters, you have a good measure of control over quality if you do decide to franchise, because the agreement would include a clause requiring that all the letters etc., the...

    Need help importing from china using Alibaba wholesale "ready to ship"

    SOURCING 
    The safest way to avoid anti-dumping penalties is to check with a Customs broker first. Assuming you use a local freight forwarder, ask them if they have an in-house Customs broker. If like most forwarders they have, ask them to advise whether your product X is subject to anti dumping rules...

    How do I start my own Customs Brokerage Business

    Offer your services to freight forwarders in Hawaii on a case by case basis. There are quite few and you could approach them all. Walter

    SPOT ON! The vast majority of people don't know what they are missing if they have not read at least those two Wisdom Books from the Bible. Written about 3,500 years ago they are incredibly relevant today, with not only financial advice but motivational advice as well. Walter

    Expanding and separating my business??

    By all means change the name NOW. From the beginning of your post my thoughts went to franchising. You are fortunate being in the UK where there is no franchising legislation to comply with. Provided you trade ethically you can franchise your business without masses of red tape. There will be...

    Own Yourself: My Story How I Did It

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    @Lex DeVille I marvel at your story and greatly appreciate it. It's a pity the Featured User part of the forum hasn't had a new entry for a long time, because I would vote for you to be there. I read every post you make, and believe your contributions to the education and mindset of many...

    I am not an expert on Amazon, but I believe the Proven Amazon Course (PAC) is the best way to learn about FBA. I have an agreement with Jim Cockrum who has been running the course for 15 years, and he gives away a free copy of my book with his course. In return he pays me a very small affiliate...

    Hi, I am sorry that somehow I missed your message. Yes it was updated in 2019 for 2020, so I have sent a copy of the latest to you via PM. You will find it considerably enhanced. In particular it has a large list of legitimate B2B sites for sourcing in countries other than China, I hope it...

    Let's Talk About Entrepreneurial Depression

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    I still see some very sad posts by people who can't find a way out. On reading a number of them it is my strong opinion that they are suffering from either Bipolar Disorder, or Clinical Depression. Having for over 10 years collaborated with a top notch psychiatrist, much in demand on the...

    I hope I have not come upon this thread too late to save the OP from losing his shirt, but he should have at least taken the advice of @francevalue to have a look at my threads. If he searched my AMA with keywords relating to his questions he would have found definite answers - no guesses - no...

    Views on dropshipping?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    You don't have to buy the MOQ even if it is a small amount. I have taught thousands of new importers how to negotiate a very small order so that they can test the market without a huge outlay. Being a newcomer to product sourcing and importing you need to learn something about it before you...

    What Do Productive People Do?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I have always been inclined to make lists, otherwise I procrastinate. My list of things that I need to do starts off in random order as I think of the action needed. Sometimes I will add to that list at 2am, when it came to me as I woke. The notepad on my bedside table has served me well...

    Are all online coaches scammers?

    HOT! 
    Thanks @biophase. What you have written clearly establishes that offering guarantees would be folly because the mentor cannot control the actions of the person paying for the course. It also puts paid to the often repeated but totally false statement: "Those that can, do. Those that can't...

    How I started and built my B2B importing empire

    SOURCING 
    My post has stirred some interest, with people asking me about finding companies in their country. Rather than finding an equivalent to NAICS in each country, you can do well by searching Wikipedia for a list of companies in your country. They won't all be there but not only will you get a...

    How I started and built my B2B importing empire

    SOURCING 
    With the huge emphasis on ecommerce and the competition that is a feature of that business model, I thought it time to revive this thread. Questions and comments have tended to concentrate on my suggestion to scale by selling franchises of your successful business, or buying one with a view to...
