    I'm 22 and trying to answer a very important question

    INTRO 
    Nobody needs to be mocked or scolded. I too went through that when I was around your age. Some people thought I'd never amount to anything. And I certainly would never measure up to the lofty levels of success that they obtained. I brushed all of that off. Who cares what peons think? The...

    INTRO 
    Well, I think it's time to put things into perspective. The op didn't deserve to have his arse handed to him on a silver platter. Pretty damn harsh here, for some of the replies. Being that I have three adult sons, I have lived this "stage of discovery" that they have gone through. There's a...

    Yes, I realize that. I focused on the part where you said there are a lot of IFS in life -IF you save 10%, IF your returns every year are positive, IF there are no recessions or wars, then yes you will retire wealthy - WHEN you are 70!! Did I read that? I absorbed it into my DNA! I also...

    Repercussions of firing bad customers?

    PEOPLE 
    As an appraiser, I have also fired many clients. If you were in the business today WJK, you would be appalled. I didn't think things could get worse, and I'm very sorry to say that I was wrong. They just removed the college degree credit that was required to be an appraiser, so they hope to...

    I see you are a founder and CEO or your company Alex. You have solid gold credibility. I also love your review. The first sentence was a knockout. The points were powerful and easy to read. You have the CEO touch of eliminating the fluff and clutter and getting to the point. I love points...

    Absolutely, positively, no control. Buy the best companies you can find and roll the dice. Um, well, no. I can see getting stabbed once or twice. But all my companies were leaders in their fields, and all stabbed me. I do better - much better - in casinos. LOL.

    Great post Amp. But I don't understand how you can be at the top of your career field at only 23? Unless you were the french fry commander at the Big Burger Barn? Seriously - how could that be? At least you have a degree which can open doors for you. There are many jobs that I could win...

    Yes, if I had bought at those lows. I bailed out before those lows hit, and was glad I did. I think I paid about 90 for MSFT, and bailed within it hit 60 or so. Look how low it went - 28. I sure didn't buy BBY anywhere near that price. I think I bailed on it when it hit 40 or so. It tanked...

    Thanks for the reply. I did buy stocks, about 18 years ago. I'm not aggressive, and I couldn't afford to be a risk taker. I wanted $600 for a digital camera that I needed at the time. I bought 3 stocks that could NOT lose. Microsoft, Best Buy, and Disney. Couldn't lose. They lost. Every...

    I'm surprised to hear this from you MJ. Why would I want to invest in a company that I don't know, can't influence in any way, and hope and pray they don't merge, declare bankruptcy, or have their competitor invent time travel? Does that fit into the CENTS methodology? Don't go soft on us...

    In my business, I try to have five quality clients giving me one job a week. Just one. I can only handle, by myself 4-5 jobs a week. I could do more, but I don't want to spread myself too thin. I have more than 200 clients that I could market to and get work. So, you see, I DON'T want mass...

    There's your goal. One entire building. They probably include cleaning in their leases to lock in their customers. That's interesting. You can use that against them, actually. Go to their competitors and offer a better deal, which they will use to get more clients. That will heat up the...

    Ok, I'm late to the game. Sorry. Love all your posts Lex. But, I have to say - yes, have to - that I absolutely hated this movie. The story sucked, the acting sucked, it dragged on and on, and above all of that, it managed to touch that raw nerve of what makes some people hate millennials...

    All righty then. NOW we have some meat to work with! Get the barbecue sauce and napkins and let's fire this grill UP! First of all, the population being 4 mil, you're in a feeding ground for your business, and you're never going to be able to saturate it. In other words, it's a wide open...

    Give me an outline of your business plan. How many times does an office want to be cleaned? Once a week? Twice a week? How many offices could you clean in a day? How many days would you have available for your services? 5 - 6 - 7? How long does it take to clean an office? One hour? Two...

    Wow. That thought alone makes me want to open a sideline gig to get in this business. All I have to do is outmaneuver my competition - which I've been doing since I was nine. It's not hard - more on that later in this post... The market is already there, and it's proven. How many business'...
