    Thanks, it's nice to hear this. I feel like in a lot of entrepreneurial circles you're bombarded with people glorifying only sleeping one hour a night, running on coffee and energy drinks and neglecting some of the really important things in life. It's refreshing to be around people who...

    I agree 100%. The whole "deathbed" thing just reminded me of all the "guru's" on Facebook and Instagram that want to make you feel like a piece of shit if you aren't killing yourself around the clock trying to build your business. Not saying that's what you meant, that's just what I was...

    Well that escalated quickly. In all seriousness though, I understand what you are saying. In this situation however, I understand my body and how I operate. With only 4 hours of sleep I won't be productive. I understand the value of hard work, but I don't really buy into the whole "hustle...

    I'm right where you are. I have two kids 3 and under. I feel the same way. I don't ever want to neglect my wife or kids. At the same time though, I am trying to build something that will benefit all of us for the rest of our lives. This is my plan. Right now I am trying to multitask...

    Thanks for the input Walter. The freight forwarder is going to use air transport for the sample. I'm just using this as a sort of trial run for them as well instead of paying the manufacturer shipping. Is this smart? I was referred to the freight forwarder by another member of the forums...

    Progress Report #3 Not a lot went on this week. I'm just posting this to keep myself accountable. I got a progress picture of my product from the manufacturer and it looks great so far. It was amazing seeing my idea come to life. I feel like I dropped the ball this week. I know there's...

    Progress Report #2 Felt like a slow week. I cut ties with the supplier that kept me hanging with the sample. She was very understanding and even refunded the money I paid. She was very easy to work with, but the company didn't seem very dependable or reliable. I think it's for the best...

    Is there a particular reason you manufacture in the U.S? I'm talking to manufacturers overseas now but I've always had an interest in getting my product made domestically. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

    They told me it would take a week. Sorry, I should've mentioned that. But yeah, they told me it would take them a week to produce, but then after I paid they said there was some confusion with the designs (after they told me they understood and could do it) so I had to clarify some things and...

    I actually asked for progress pictures earlier on. She basically just told me to be patient and didn't offer any pictures.

    Progress Report #1 My goal is to do one of these each week to keep everyone updated, but mainly to keep myself accountable. This week I spoke with Walter Hay and he looked up the manufacturers I was talking to and let me know that only one of them was an actual manufacturer. I'll only...

    Thanks a lot Walter. I never even thought that the cheapest quote could mean that they're the only manufacturer I've found, my mind usually goes straight to the negative. I am talking to a 4th supplier that should have their quote back to me once the holiday is over. I'll start reading your...

    Thanks Scot. My hope is that this thread does keep me accountable. There really is no excuse being surrounded by so much information and people willing to help.

    About two months ago I somehow stumbled across this forum and I don’t even remember how. But that lead me to discover the book and the free chapters that are available to download. Then that got me to purchase the audio-book and sign up for an account on the forums and post my introduction...

    Read! I was actually upset when I got to the last page because I didn't want it to end. Time to read it again and then re-read after that. Great book MJ!

    Thanks a lot for the information. It's good to know shipping via sea saves that much money.
