    Running multiple businesses?

    I ran two businesses for 10 years up until April of this year. They weren't two completely different in the sense of location etc but in April this year i got rid of the one that was slowlane without potential. It was the best decision i ever made. I used to wake up on a Monday and think, yes i...

    There are some very valid points there so thank you. With regards to space, my current premises is more of a shop. It does have a basement which is probably half again in size compared to what i've currently got. It's not however currently in any fit state to store products in and has a damp...

    Thanks for your reply. I can see exactly where you are coming from and you are right, in this and any business that holds stock it's vital to ensure money isn't tied up in items that are not selling or very slow sellers. I'm very much proactive in this department and i have detailed reports on...

    Experts: Megastore / How does one source A-brands?

    Well with answer to your first question on your original post, the only way to get your hands on branded products without buying in bulk would be to use a distributor to drop ship. Like i said however you're not going to get the cheapest prices that way. I sold 4 laptops once for £2000 and made...

    Experts: Megastore / How does one source A-brands?

    Usually you buy from a distributor who stocks products in bulk from a particular manufacturers. I tried to do this once with laptops and sometimes a competitor was selling laptops cheaper than what I could buy them for from the distributor. Even though we were buying them from same place my...

I have step by step instructions for each task that needs to be performed. I can literally pull someone in off the street and they would be able fully trained with a few...

    Reminds me of a conversation I had with my son and wife the other day. We were talking about holidays and I said we'll live in a sunnier place one day or at least own a holiday home. At which point my wife replied "take no notice of your Dad, he's a dreamer" My wife thinks she's a world beater...

    MINDSET 
    At the moment between myself and my wife we've got around $70,000 worth of debt excluding our mortgage. This is split between credit cards and loans. So you're advice would be to continue paying the loan payments each month and minimum payments on cards then put as much money into my business...
