    My biggest purchase…$40k SaaS stock trading platform, using $28k of debt

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    Was just being cautious, but happy to share as I'm guessing there is some good feedback to be had. The site is StackedBid | Stock Trading Chat Room & Daily Hot Stock Watchlists There isn't anything extremely proprietary here, and there are certainly platforms out there that provide more value...

    My biggest purchase…$40k SaaS stock trading platform, using $28k of debt

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    No I didn't get any sort of assessment done. The programs and the site itself were built by professional freelancers. I've been in contact with both and they are happy to keep helping on an as needed basis so I don't have any issues. I'll shoot you a PM. I'll shoot you a PM. It's 20x the...

    My biggest purchase…$40k SaaS stock trading platform, using $28k of debt

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I would have to guess easily over $10,000. Two of the tools that the site offers are custom programmed specifically for this site. I don't think they are super complex, but definitely a few grand to build each. On top of that the whole site is custom designed and built, with a lot of nice things...

    My biggest purchase…$40k SaaS stock trading platform, using $28k of debt

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    About 70% of the current active subscribers have been subscribers for over a year which gives me a good degree of confidence that they aren't going to fall off a cliff anytime soon. One of the member benefits is daily watch lists and weekly "spotlight" trade ideas. The owner hadn't been doing...

    My biggest purchase…$40k SaaS stock trading platform, using $28k of debt

    SAAS / APPS EXECUTION 
    I’ve never bought a five-figure website before but have been wanting to for the past year or so. I have simply been waiting for the right opportunity, and I finally found it two weeks ago. The problem was that it was a little big bigger than what I anticipated jumping into for my first “big”...

    What are people NOT talking about anymore?

    What is hot right now and needs to end are all the "guru" tai lopez-esque ads on YouTube.

    Youtube's #1 Earner is a 7 Year Old Who Plays with Toys

    HOT! 
    Funny running across this. This family was one of my bankers clients at JPM (they are Houston locals). They were depositing nearly $2mm checks monthly into their accounts...and it started with his Dad posting 1 video on YouTube for fun. The best part is his Dad would only take a modest "salary"...

    Searching for private money tips and tricks to finding the right investor?

    How much are you looking to raise? Are you generating revenues yet? If you are looking for 7-figure amounts of capital, then you might be best off engaging an investment bank that caters to the tech/VC markets. Debt likely won't be an option unless you or your partners have significant...

    Found a motivation! I want to go live in Brazil!

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Not to mention the economy in Brazil is upside down right now. If you like Brazil, how about Central America? Although, you likely face some of the same crime issues depending on where you go.

    Looking for House Hacking Advice

    HOT! REAL ESTATE 
    I'm in Houston, which is probably the cheapest metropolitan area in all of Texas, and have been looking at doing this for a few months right now but the market is just too inflated right now. Haven't been able to find something that would be cash flow positive with me taking up one of the units...

    I Took 6-Months off the Forums. Here's What I Accomplished

    EXECUTION 
    Yeah it was really from traffic going from 7k uniques to 22k uniques per month. All from organic search. From a revenue perspective, it has always been pretty diversified but is typically: $150 private advertiser (which I recently lost) $150 amazon associates $100 ebay affiliate $50 adsense $50...

    I Took 6-Months off the Forums. Here's What I Accomplished

    EXECUTION 
    Correct, I spend 0 hours on SEO, social media, or any form of traffic generation. But the reason it works is because it's so niche. They are automotive blogs, but rather than focusing on specific models of cars, I focus on specific engines of cars. An example would be the 2JZ...an engine that's...

    I Took 6-Months off the Forums. Here's What I Accomplished

    EXECUTION 
    Sorry for not getting to this earlier....managing my time is probably something I could do better. I started using Hitask and what I try to do is build a daily to-do list and then hold myself accountable to actually executing on it. I've been going out less, drinking less, etc. to make sure I...

    I Took 6-Months off the Forums. Here's What I Accomplished

    EXECUTION 
    Update: Niche content blog v1 My content blog has been chugging along - I started writing a post that I think will get 6-8k uniques per month once its picked up by Google, but it's a beast (targeting 5,000 words) and I'm probably 25% done. Traffic has remained relatively flat over the last two...

    Billionaire Ray Dalio: Meditation is ‘the single most important reason' for my success

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    One of my favorite books, called the Art of Power by Thich Nhat Hanh, is about mindfulness. His big thing is "mindful walking" which is essentially being aware of every footstep you take and focusing on being in the present. So many people running around nowadays thinking about where they are...

    Buidling a e-commerce website... so painful !

    HOT! 
    I would strongly recommend a premium theme....my favorite is Avada. It's $60 and you can learn to use it in a couple hours max. Pretty much drag and drop to design it the way you want and it has like 20+ premade themes that you can start with.

    Does being good at your job have anything to do with being good at entrepreneurship?

    I think the most important thing is learning from your mistakes, and making sure they don't happen twice. Being the first one to finish isn't good if it then takes your superior an hour to check over your work since they don't trust your end product. An entrepreneur is almost never great at...

    The best way to make f*ck you money, Entrepreneurship or High paying employment ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I spent some time working in private wealth, working on a team covering clients with $100mm+ of liquid net worth. Not a single one of those clients was in the $100mm+ category because they climbed the corporate ladder. They all built their own businesses and started at the top of the ladder...

    Health product store.

    Why don't you focus on this first? Build your personal brand, become someone that everyone respects and trusts, and then build your product. Start blogging, youtube videos, social media, etc. and build that brand and loyal following and then monetize once you know you will be successful. Once...
