Did another set of orders and was fortunate to speak with someone in the company (sales rep) that can provide a discount when I meet the minimum order for discounts. I ordered 10 for the...

    How am I supposed to save for training when they don't tell you the price?

    If they have a Facebook group, try hanging out a while, ask questions about advertising and see if they give an answer. Look for success stories in the group and try and start a conversation with them, see how they answer. Research them, if they give their names then google is your friend.

    True! I guess its being much aware of one's environment makes one sensitive to what people need and then make an effort to service those needs!

    Hows the Amazon Prep Center? Yeah, I heard its cheaper than other services but I've gotten not that much feedback from other sellers doing OA.

    EXECUTION 
    Before going to building sites, ordering uniforms, shirts with company logo's on it, have you landed your first customer yet (even if its free)? I think we're eager to know and so should you, whether there's a demand or not.

    How do you become a happy person?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Serve! (Provide service, help, assistance, to provide service). You can do it for free and then build from there. Personally, there's a satisfaction I feel when I am able to provide something to someone. That satisfaction makes me feel happy. Hopefully, that can start you in a path of happiness.

    Sorry guys, just blowing off some steam here about a co-worker of mine who is really good with his work (very technical, knows it all) but really doesn't share the knowledge around.
