    I'm stuck / Paralysis of Analysis / Information Overload

    MINDSET 
    I've been in the same boat, but recently I've been getting more focused. Here's how I changed my thinking: my initial goal is to help just one person - say Jane Doe or John Doe. Your business idea has to fit the following 3 basic criteria for Jane/John: 1) How can I solve a problem for you...

    Do you hate your long commute to the day job?

    Me too! Few things are more mind-numbing than sitting in traffic for 30-60 minutes...Each way. That is time that we will never get back, and is a criminal waste of the most precious resource that we have. Reading this forum I saw someone mention "Automobile University": So I tried it out...

    Any books recommendation on Business acumen/Business "street smarts"??

    Cool, I hope you get the knowledge that you need from it. By the way- I used some tips from the book to "pitch" it to you in the last post and, since you decided to try it, then I was successful. The book works. :)

    [eBooks, Videos, Links etc.] The eBay Thread

    HOT! 
    Hi TK1, I read your whole eBay thread and it was great, thank you so much for creating it! I do have one question: I took one of your tips from the thread and bought something in bulk (50 items), then resold invidually (39 sold), but unfortunately, only got 21 positive ratings out of it...

    The Real Deal ?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Comment off YouTube: And somebody already jumped on that, even changing their ID to match the guy's name: Giant Stuffed Banana with Dreadlocks | eBay (I'm on the watch list, for the lulz if he actually sells.)

    Any books recommendation on Business acumen/Business "street smarts"??

    You wanted a book about street smarts that can be applied to the world of business right? Education of Millionaires is exactly that. That negative review be taken with a grain of salt: Reviewer complains about there not being enough depth, but when Ellsberg provides an in-depth guide on how...

    My Fastlane Journey & $100,000/Month Sales 4 Months After Start-Up

    NOTABLE! FTE EXECUTION 
    Amazing story, I am inspired by "fail again and again until you succeed" mindset that you have.

    Best collection of thoughts: TMF

    Use this fear to push you ten times harder to make sure you succeed. Just do it and burn the bridges. Don't be a kennel dog who sits and waits till someone throws you their leftovers - gives you a job for your degree, be a hound who goes out and eats as much as he wants - creates his own business.

    Another little update: I am still selling DVDs here and there at work. Selling itself is no longer a problem or a fear at all. In fact I even have people coming back to me to buy more, or being referred to me by someone who already bought. I faced another issue however: Collecting money. Some...

    Get Rich or Die Trying Part 1

    Good luck man. I had the same exact goal of not needing a job / quitting no matter what by Feb 18, 2013 (my birthday), and I failed. Came up with a bunch of excuses of having to pay rent/bills/needing more time to find a business and stayed in the job that I hate. ($12 - 40 hours a week)...

    Man, those trikes look absolutely fun and awesome! Website is nice and clean looking, gets the point across well and is easy to use. I thought the youtube video showing the trikes in action under the Atticus model is a nice touch as well. Looks like you are doing great!

    Looking at money from the time value perspective

    I do it. I make roughly ~80 bucks net a day at my slowlane job so when I go to the store and I see something I want to buy I ask myself if that thing is worth the amount of hours I have to put in to get it. I hate my job, so a lot of times the answer is absolutely not. Other times it actually...

    OP here. Quick update: I came up on a Craiglist deal two days ago - 80 old DVDs in original boxes for $55. Got the person to drop it to $50 instead of paying the whole amount just to see if I can do it. Then typed out a list of the DVDs, printed it out and took to my work again.... Having...

    Hands down best video on marketing I've ever seen

    MARKETING 
    Great video! If the content of the speech itself wasn't enough for me, when he mentioned biology and the cortexes of the brain I for better or for worse being a recovering addict is all too familiar with those and it made total sense to me about the deep feelings being harbored in the limbic...

    Nice! Any tips that you can share on cold calling? One problem I have with it in my head is that selling to people who are already interested in what you have or in a similar product is pretty straight forward. But for cold calling people don't need what you may have. Does selling to them have...
