What to do with $1 million?
HOT!I have a buddy who has made very good income by doing exactly this. He basically looks at the bad news, decides if it's REALLY impactful long-term or if it's just some sensationalist short-term nonsense, and then if it's just nonsense short-term panic he buys the dip.- JAJT

What Should I Do At 17?
HOT!I wish I could restart at 17 (well... maybe 20, but 17 is close enough). Here's the advice I would give: - Freelance in every/any way possible. This will build your confidence in working with others, your business communication skills, and you'll get better at a number of skillsets you engage...- JAJT

A Canadian who's WANTING to HELP!
SIDE HUSTLEYou're selling yourself short. When I joined this forum I had zero business experience outside of a useless piece of paper from a business college. So rather than give business advice, I gave advice on the things that I did know: Sales, psychology, critical thinking, problem solving...- JAJT

Anyone Help me?
MARKETINGReal question: what answer were you expecting from two separate, vague sentences? We can provide specific advice to specific questions, but you need to paint us a detailed picture of your situation. - What have you tried? - What hasn't worked? - What results are you currently seeing? - What...- JAJT

What to do with $1 million?
HOT!Best way to ensure that is to treat them like one. Yeah, this is probably where I'd plant my flag as well. Pick up a few books on the subject, see if it's right for you. You certainly won't see 10-20% returns in any kind of passive investment (without some kind of gambling involved, anyway)...- JAJT

What I would do if I started today... And Why...
AMAI have to say - I agree 100%. This is so amazingly true. There are entire funds setup, invested into, and managed by folks who literally don't get out of bed for opportunities that require less than 5-10 million dollars. There are even broker-dealers who help match investors to businesses...- JAJT

Do you need separate assumed name for the website and office
Exactly! It bugs me that accountants and lawyers are considered "too expensive" by so many folks without ever actually checking to see if that's true. For example - my accountant would likely answer this question over the phone or in person for free unless there was aspects to the question I...- JAJT

Pick Up Artists are Quoting MJs Book In Their Courses?!
INTROIt's not vilified - there are just appropriate and inappropriate ways of doing so in a respectful way. I can't think of any positive "masculine" behaviors that can't be expressed in perfectly appropriate ways. Even casually sexual encounters can be handled in a respectful manner. If some guy...- JAJT

2018 Fastlane Summit, Ticket Announcement! (Confirmed Attendees)
MEETUPSTo the best of my knowledge: - There are no plans to record anything as part of the event. - Anything that may be recorded will be at the request of the presenter, for them to do with what they please. Personally I think recording the speeches and giving them to non-attendees is a bit of a...- JAJT

I always intuitively hit up the native search in the upper right as it's in the logical place for a forum's search engine. Thanks for the tip! Would...- JAJT

8 Eyewear: From Idea, to Launch, to Growth (And Quitting the Job)
IDEAAwesome update. Glad to see you back :) New renders look fantastic. I still think this thread is one of the best (or at least one of my favorite) progress threads on the forum. It's one of the best examples of "process" I can think of. Best of luck in 2018!- JAJT

Running Away From Alibaba and Amazon
RANTCase in point: I got frustrated with my Amazon-only private label businesses and vowed to make them an afterthought in my new venture. I'm days away from having product in the market and what did I ultimately decide to do? After a lot of thought and research I decided to use Amazon's...- JAJT

Anyone involved in Worldwide Dream Builders/Amway?
HOT!What blows my F*cking mind about MLM is that anyone capable of making it work as promised is selling themselves short by being in MLM! The "skill to compensation" ratio for MLM is absurd. It's like being the best go-kart salesman in the world and making $65k per year. If you're that good just...- JAJT

Anyone involved in Worldwide Dream Builders/Amway?
HOT!MLM companies prey on folks who don't understand math. In almost every instance of you "just need to find x friends, and they just need to find x friends, and they just...." you run out of possible people to sell to VERY quickly. But let's say you are the outlier who can make it work. If you...- JAJT

Pick Up Artists are Quoting MJs Book In Their Courses?!
INTROWell even a broken clock is right twice per day :P Let me offer you a small piece of advice: distance yourself from anything with "pick up artist" in the name. "Pick up artist" might as well be a synonym for "lying and tricking women to get them into bed". Imagine how you would sound if you...- JAJT
