    Freight costs from China to the U.S. From $8000 to $24,000 per 40 foot container in the past month.

    SOURCING 
    I hear the canal thing actually made a huge impact on the supply of containers. Shipping is so far behind because they have containers bookmarked for like 3 years. I don't know how true it is but we talked about it at dinner the other night. They know they can squeeze because there's such a...

    Idea to make millions

    IDEA 
    Complexity is the enemy of execution. The definition of a business is a system that consistently adds value in a timely and effective manner. Coffee is the product. They deliver the product in a timely and effective manner. The innovation (making it better) came in with the atmosphere...

    Idea to make millions

    IDEA 
    That there done be a lotta big words. Peter Drucker said it best, business is only 2 things: marketing and innovation. But yes, you're right. My idea of innovation is how do you improve the lives of your customers and clients ... And then how do you effectively communicate that.

    Idea to make millions

    IDEA 
    1.) Find somebody who's already doing what you want to be doing (at the level you want to be doing it at). 2.) Study them intensely. What worked, what didn't work. Take notes on how you could do it better/differently/more valuably so that someone would want to buy your thing. 3.) Start with an...

    "Cool Branded" vs "Internet Marketing" look for low-ticket cold-traffic website?

    MARKETING 
    There's a lot to try to translate here. 1.) Your mindset needs updating. To generalize every ad on Facebook as ... well... everything you described is naive. I don't mean that as a dig but I do want you to start separating professional marketers and cheap knock-offs. How do you know the...

    I've made money copywriting. It only took a decade or so to get good enough at it to do that. An invaluable skill for my current business ventures. You, too, can become wildly successful at copywriting if you read a hundred books on copywriting, practice it every day in multiple industries...

    @CryptoGuru this response is getting buried quickly. I think you passed over it because you couldn't see it for what it was -- brilliant. You can go knock on 100 doors today and say "gee, mister, you wouldn't wanna buy anything from me would you?" -- you might get one just out of pity but...
