    Forum Upgrade News and Update

    Great updates MJ , ignore prefixes sounds nice. Ive found if im just checking in I sort of only see the default view stuff (and so I miss relevant things just because I dont want to scroll down) . Spend some time this week and curate things a bit.

    Having trouble making small talk; I don't care about other people

    NOTABLE! PEOPLE 
    Unless youre a misanthrope thats just introversion and ego Hoe to win friends and influence people is a pretty short book , go read it. People like talking about themselves , let them , add some guiding questions. I guarantee you these boring folks youve written off all have a story or two...

    Dealing with Many Ideas

    IDEA 
    I keep journals handy to dump those ideas so they dont clutter my mind and get me off focus. Pick something and go. Seems like you made a first sale right? So why not take that and run with it. You'll need to market the designs , that means ads (facebook , google etc). You'll need them...

    Sales job, low effort 9 to 5 and side hussle or direct startup?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Sales for sure. Thats a keystone business owner skill IMO and you can get a job with a better time element once you're comfortable with some face to face hustle. Starting a business and expecting it to pay your bills in 2 months when you dont even have an idea yet is lunacy. I imagine the...

    Taking on Airbnb... Would you do it?

    AIRBNB 
    And VRBO had first player advantage , seems to not mean much (anyone remember myepace?) Id say if you were serious about this then coordinating it in one community (maybe with a high level of people hosting who hate airbnb) might be the way to go. I feel like enough competition already exists...

    Guy Jumps at Amazon's Delivery Business Offer - 8 Months in, 112 Employees and 50 Trucks

    Maybe not, I used to deliver pharmaceuticals. We had the company that signed my check, the company that company had hired to manage us drivers (who were all 1099) and then the pharmacy itself, a couple dozen drivers just in tucson but the same gig running in multiple states. Maybe less margin...

    Retail Arbitrage as a Side Hustle

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Amazon doesn't even allow you to see how many items are in a category anymore so ranking as a metric, completely useless, you can figure it out trial and error style (I did this early on with books) but good luck if you're just trying to flip whatevers on the shelves. Now if we're just talking...

    Retail Arbitrage as a Side Hustle

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Its rough though. You spend enough hours mindlessly scanning crap at retail stores and you start wishing youd just taken a second job. Plus no matter how much camelcamelcamel and keepa data I was looking over like a third of every haul would have its margins vaporize before getting to the FBA...

    The 10x Rule by Grant Cardone - Crazy or Brilliant?

    BOOKS 
    I think "ready , shoot , aim" maybe lays it out a little more pragmatically but along the same line of thought. The 10x principle though is solid thinking , if you keep shooting for the moon and landing on a hilltop then youd better put away rationality about what's "possible for me" and start...

    Dealing with procrastination when you're comfortable

    HOT! 
    Do the work. I could recommend books on habit formation and goal setting but then you'd be action faking reading books instead of doing the work. you're experiencing resistance, the counter to resistance is work. The resistance doesn't go away, ever. You just work through it. People with a...
