The wealth "after party". What are your non-business hobbies and passions?
HOT! MINDSET FTEThat's usually where I lose people :P Counter-intuitively, it's actually heat you have to worry about when winter camping, not the cold. Most of our temperature challenges while winter camping involves making sure we're not sweating. We clearly bring enough warm clothing to stay warm as needed...- JAJT

The wealth "after party". What are your non-business hobbies and passions?
HOT! MINDSET FTEI brew my own beer. Generally I make over 100 gallons per year on my own (probably going to hit 200+ this year though) to share with friends, family, etc... I also enter competitions and have won a few medals for the beer I make. I have a 4 tap keg system in my kitchen: I love home theater...- JAJT

Sold my $30,000 p/mth website for $650k - My "near wealth experience" taught me this--> [MP3]
NOTABLE! MINDSETAwesome story - loved it :) You know, I went into business with your 2x approach (even if I never called it that) in mind from day 1 a few years back. I recall sitting at my cubicle thinking "I work my a$$ off here for peanuts, almost anything I could do solo would make this at LEAST, and the...- JAJT

Is creating competition for the site imgur. com possible from someone that doesn't know any code?
WEB/DIGITALI was going to post basically exactly what Invictus said. Reddit's own hosting is taking over imgur pretty significantly. Also, imgur is just damn easy. I use it all the time because it's usually faster and quicker than trying to figure out how to host images any other way. Literally you go to...- JAJT

Should I stop my 401k?
HOT! INVESTINGI agree with the others - keep it until it makes obvious sense to stop it. If you are uncertain, then it doesn't make obvious sense yet to stop. Saving in general is a good idea regardless of your job/business situation and they are paying you to do it right now.- JAJT

If You Were A Moderator
HOT!I think a badge for those who have sold a business in the past would be cool. Seems like there's a lot of threads about this lately and quite a few folks here have done this on their journeys and it's one of the major milestones and goals for most entrepreneurs. Not sure how the vetting...- JAJT

Selling my Ecommerce Business
GOLD!My accountant told me the second any money passes through my personal accounts it makes my personal accounts "fair game" for business audit purposes (in Canada). Other than for the purposes of paying me, anyway. I had a weird banking setup where the card I used for business purposes could only...- JAJT

Selling my Ecommerce Business
GOLD!COGS is huge for making your numbers look good. When I first started the process of selling my business my numbers looked ridiculous bad because I was entering all inventory as an expense. Switched to COGS and suddenly it looked much, much more attractive since it was only measuring the cost...- JAJT

Selling my Ecommerce Business
GOLD!I really only have one sale under my belt, which is a terrible statistic to work with, so honestly the best I can elaborate is that nobody cared about future opportunity with my individual sale. I'd be on a call and talking about how Canada is a great market to get into and very turn-key, for...- JAJT

Selling my Ecommerce Business
GOLD!Somehow missed this thread despite 2 posts tagging me, haha. The volume of activity in this place is crazy at times :) Awesome to hear you've been avoiding my mistakes. That one stupid mistake of letting my biz slip seriously took my exit from "decent sized life event" to merely "a blip on the...- JAJT

What do you think the impact of self driving cars will be?
HOT!I think that's the part that always gets me. The "it'll figure itself out" argument. I think this comes down to pessimism but I don't see why there will always have to be jobs. Or why what happened in the past has any bearing on future progression. The video I posted said it quite eloquently...- JAJT

What do you think the impact of self driving cars will be?
HOT!For sure. I don't think humans will be "ousted" entirely but I think enough people will be effected that it will be a real problem with no great solutions. Honestly, as much as I hate the idea, I think the only viable solution is a "guaranteed minimum income" program. If large swaths of the...- JAJT

What do you think the impact of self driving cars will be?
HOT!I genuinely think we're on the precipice of an "extinction level event" for the working class. If you aren't your own boss or a "higher up" at a company in the next few years the future doesn't look terribly bright. Maybe this is hyperbole or being paranoid but it seems to have been getting...- JAJT

Have you had your "FTE"? (Or Was it an FTM?!)
GOLD! MINDSET FTE CHATI've never had a traumatic experience but about every 2-3 years at my previous jobs I'd hit a "F*ck this" wall. It was the point where I had learned about as much new information about my position and the company as I could, improved the broken things to the extent they would allow me to, and...- JAJT

Eskil's Mentoring to Accelerate Your Growth
MARKETPLACEI'll hop in and agree with the other's. I met Eskil back at one of the earlier Beer and Pancakes and have stayed in touch with him since then. He knows what he's talking about, admits to the things he doesn't know, and would make a great mentor to be connected with. If you are on the fence...- JAJT

Difference between Amazon.com and Amazon.ca as a seller?
It's $10 dude. Register in your own country and stop worrying about it. Everything everyone else said is bang on. I'm Canadian and sell in both Canada and the USA. They are different markets with their own quirks (Canada is easier to rank in my experience because there is less listed there, for...- JAJT
