    Amazon FBA - Violation of the Commandment of Control

    Nowadays that window has been compressed probably down to a few months to a year tops on all low/no barrier opportunities like amazon with the proliferation of "opportunity chasers" on all the online media channels.

    My experience going to a Timeshare sales presentation

    MARKETING RANT 
    The math on it is pretty straightforward. When they try to frame the price/value proposition, and use the technique of having the prospect offer # estimates, they are expecting a certain range, which the salesman uses to inflate the value proposition. I pulled out actual numbers of what I spent...

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

    SOURCING 
    I too haven't used DHL in years, but I do remember getting bills very shortly after entry, don't think I got anything months down the line. Good point on the antidumping duties--these are much more punitive than customs duties. I've always found it difficult to find exact info, but the closest...

    Bit the bullet and took the money. I am sure it will come in handy. I was surprised how fast the money was transferred after I signed the note, literally the next business day.

    Elevator Pitches and Presentations (Constructing the verbal words)

    Listen my friend, @YourFriend, @Neighbour, or whatever you're calling yourself now; When you posted on the forum 6 months ago, for every legitimate response to your question, you came up with 5 objections of why it wouldn't work, and then turned around and restated the same question expecting...

    Elevator Pitches and Presentations (Constructing the verbal words)

    No c level exec worth their title is going to stick an unknown CD, USB, etc, into their computer in this age of hacks, security breaches, and cyber espionage. You are being a perfectionist, which is not uncommon, but you have to be willing to try and fail. That's the way you will get better...

    This will also allow you to get access to competitors products, because leasing is a separate business. You can become the go to lessor for different models and have the manufacturers fighting each other to sell to you. Brilliant strategy! Do you have a piece of the leasing biz?

    Setting up a company in Hong Kong

    Nobody has asked the question yet, but why spend so much time and effort before you have a proven business model? This can turn into an action fake that brings you no closer to your goal of your first dollar. Once you have some cashflow, then you can spend the money to do it properly.

    Is buying cheating?

    If you have 100k, you can buy a decent business that produces respectable cash flow that isn't as fickle as the latest "amazon slap". Its akin to gambling. But if you do go the fba route, find something that you can guarantee will scale into something beyond Amazon, and fast, otherwise you're...

    The thread reminds of a few quotes: "In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king." and "Life can be much broader once you discover one simple fact: Everything around you that you call life was made up by people that were no smarter than you and you can change it, you can influence it...

    Finally had EIDL approved yesterday. After reading through the loan agreement a few times, I'm weary of going through with it. There are a whole bunch of restrictions on how funds can be used, lots of ambiguity, record keeping hassles, and what looks like a personal guarantee, even though it...

    What licenses do I need for this site?

    Google "[your county] business tax receipt registration", that should lead you to the right place. Also do the same thing for your city, if you're within city limits. Beyond that, I'd ask a lawyer if you're still confused.
