    I feel a little pathetic

    MINDSET 
    Dude, I have to say at 21 with a clear path and mindset, you're already miles ahead of people 10+ years older than you. My mentor has a plaque above his fireplace that says "Success is the best Revenge" That means you do whatever you have to do to achieve your dreams. Work the shitty jobs...

    Am I being fair?

    PEOPLE 
    I think your offer is fair. Your "friend" is thinking he can just make this tiny investment and retire off of your hard work, it doesn't work that way (unless you allow it). Dump the friend, license the product, use money for other products and let him be greedy all by himself. I know I'm...

    Autosuggestion

    MINDSET 
    Auto suggestion is wonderful and it works! As others have stated it's basically getting things to sink into your mind until they occur subconsciously. A great example is when you have a difficult problem, math problem for example. And you think and think on it, then in the middle of the night...

    Quitting a job.

    I agree you don't control your destiny to the full extent you'd like to, but to make money you have to help other people. Especially starting out you can't afford to think you deserve the whole pie when you didn't set anything up and you just slid into a seat on the bus. Logically you're getting...

    Deterring against theft from employees who carry a lot of money

    EXECUTION 
    Era's idea is exactly the process you need to put into place for employees. On top of that, they have to put their credit card/debit card on file with you and sign a document that says if they quit without turning in any collect monies that it will be debited/credited directly to them...

    The Vicious Cycle Continues...

    If this is true and you're not willing to think outside your own box, then you just described a job and a boss. You described what millions of people do every day. They work for someone else's dreams because that person gave them the rigid, structured process to get things done. Sounds like a...

    how to predict when a business collects it's initial cost back?!!

    I'm sorry I'm not quite clear on what you're looking for due to the variables involved. But from my understanding of what you said, you're on the right track. I'm assuming they want the break even point as to when you'll become profitable so your operating expenses/assets = revenue. Cost of...

    Looking for ideas

    IDEA 
    I have an idea that might be of interest to you. You're a preacher and you've even taken classes on it, which puts you in a niche where people love to spend money, for church! So you must figure out the value you can provide. Take what you care about and know about and make money out of it...

    Is education worth it for Entrepreneurs?

    Having my undergrad in trust/wealth management and my MBA I'll chime in and say that education is important to the extent to which you use it. Like anything you can know a lot but you don't KNOW anything until you are utilizing it. If what you want and are striving for can't be assisted by...

    I need it more then ever

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I understand you were venting but I was simply offering an outside perspective from someone who has been there. I agree jokes are usually just jokes, which is why I had a disclaimer. I gave you the benefit of the doubt I was just basing my observations on your post and nothing further. I would...

    How bad do you want it? Enough to go "all in?"

    GOLD! PEOPLE 
    Great post MJ and everyone else. To anyone reading this for inspiration. The biggest take away I would say is DO SOMETHING! If you're not stretching beyond your reach you can never grow and achieve anything. Moving can mean from one house to another, one state to another, moving from your...

    [Punishment] Accountability

    Well while I'm impressed with your persistence at changing your mindset don't beat yourself up. The greatest opportunities come in chance form when we are willing to take them and are ready for them. Given this guy was probably an MLM-er but some of my best opportunities have come from people...

    I need it more then ever

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Sales people are inherently lazy, I should know, I employee them. Making a comment like that makes you seem like a typical mediocre sales person. As Brian Tracy says things only upset us when it challenges our own self concept. So I'm assuming your boss had another concept of you and you made a...

    Entrepreneurship comes with great sacrifices...

    I will say AMEN and AMEN again to SecretEntourages list. I think the cliche saying needs an extension. “Entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won’t, so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can’t....then those same people look at you and say...

    Got burned today on eBay

    When I used to sell on ebay I had a very hot ticket item that I stopped selling because my profit margins were so slim. I ran into multiple chargebacks because I was trying to save money and not document every little thing. Here are my suggestions, it's time consuming but it saves your butt. -...

    Benh, I'm really glad to hear it brother. I appreciate you taking my commentary with an open mind, I know when someones self image is challenged it can step on their toes. Furthermore, I'm very glad to know that you understand yourself to the point that you want to overcome that part of your...

    Minimalist lifestyle?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    A tip I read years ago that I used to eliminate my pack-rat tendencies was look at something. Clothes:if you haven't worn it the last time it was in season, donate it. Items: if you can't remember using it in 6 months, donate it. Keep-sakes: if you can't remember the significance associated with...

    I'm Lazy and I still do about 50K a Month Selling on Amazon

    So what are your "big private label" products I wonder. I'm not sure what kind of forum you thought you were going to but saying you make 50k a year isn't impressing those wanting to make millions. Also saying you're lazy but you make money hand over fist is a typical giveaway of "please buy...
