    Import/Export to India

    SOURCING 
    UPDATE: Since my last post, I have made some drastic changes to my business model. When I looked at my previous model, I had a difficult time seeing how I could use this to scale with other clients who would wish to store their products in my warehouse. So instead, I pivoted to a distributors...

    What is a waste of time, while taking action?

    LANDFILL 
    If you have done a project for only one week and it already makes you bored, how do you expect to compete with others who love coding and would code in their free time just for fun? You don't have to do what you love to be successful, but you should have some sort of fire inside that drives you...

    Advice on getting my first 25 subscribers for my videogame crowdfunding magazine

    IDEA 
    First, I think you need to be able to answer the question: Why should an investor be investing $40-$120/week into a subscription model rather than raising capital in the traditional sense where I might give you ~$1,000-$3,000 in return for a certain % of the profits? Is there a benefit to the...

    Import/Export to India

    SOURCING 
    Thank you for this insight, as this is my first time dealing with India. Would you say it is typically government officials that are corrupt or other groups of people? I would like to think I have a very friendly relationship with the guy I will be working with, as we met outside of business. I...

    SOURCING 
    I appreciate all you have done in regards to teaching on the topic of Import/Export, @Walter Hay. I got into this sector of business because of your posts on the FLF and your book which I am currently reading for a second time, to brush up on the updated Incoterms and revisit relevant topics to...

    Import/Export to India

    SOURCING 
    Thank you @growth I had been doing more research on both options since making this post. I think you are correct. To decrease my risk and overhead, being a middle man who organizes shipments from one company to the other seems to be the most scalable and cheapest option with the most amount of...

    Import/Export to India

    SOURCING 
    I came across an interesting opportunity for myself and was hoping for some input. I have been networking with people from India, as I have been working to import products for a brand that I am working on. I got to talk to a CEO of a biotechnology company who wants to export his products to...

    2024/25 State Tax Rankings... Time for You to Move?

    HOT! TAXES | REGS 
    I'm currently living in New Hampshire, a great state all around. The only downside is the high property taxes. Since I live 10 minutes from the border of Maine, I have seriously considered living in Maine and just crossing the state border and working in New Hampshire.

    How much gold/silver to buy?

    INVESTING 
    It depends on what you think will happen with the market. Do you think the value of the USD will go up or down in relation to gold/silver or any asset for that matter? Personally, I believe inflation will continue to erode the value of my savings so I keep one month's worth of cash on hand in...

    The World is Not Alibaba

    I only started reading your first book, Proven Global Sourcing, yesterday. So far it has been very inciteful! I've not reached chapter 8 yet, on sourcing outside of China, but you made a great point about finding and selling products that no one else is selling. These big websites(Alibaba) have...

    MARKETPLACE 
    Hello @Walter Hay I am just about to buy your books. I just wanted to double-check the pricing, as it seems that it may have changed. If I wanted all 3 books, is it $145 or $199?

    The Opportunists Stock Buying Thread

    I just bought a mutual fund of gold mining stocks. It went down more than the DIJA, however, gold prices didn't go down, plus oil dropped, making it cheaper to mine gold. It should be a huge win fall.

    California Governor signs rent-control law... yea or nay?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Nay First, we assume the government knows what the actual rate of inflation is... which is funny since they seem to get everything else wrong too. Second, you can say goodbye to all those houses that require more money than a 5% increase/year to maintain the house... since California has...

    Are Neck, Shoulder or Back pain a problem for you?

    HEALTH 
    Hey Guys, I thought I might chime in. I'm a Physical Therapist, I have seen a lot of low back and neck pain patients. @Malleren is correct. A lot of the patients I see have some sort of posture deficits that are caused by muscular imbalances. The most common postural neck pain is caused by...
