    Free Business Ideas (or things that you would pay for)

    IDEA 
    Yup. A lot of people are signing up for these services and just getting paid without thinking of the tax ramifications. Maybe instead of productized services you do a series of Youtube videos and blog posts for lead generation, then take them to a webinar and then close on a how-to-guide or...

    Eskil's Progress Thread: Starting a Supplement Business from Scratch

    EXECUTION 
    Amazon gangster-ism (that I don't do because I am scared of getting banned): Each FBA shipment comes with a customer phone number. Hire a VA to call each customer. Ask if they want a free guide related to the product. Send the guide by email. Add customer to your list. Profit.

    The Uberpreneur: How An Uber Driver Makes $252,000 A Year

    EXECUTION 
    I once got pitched to invest in someone's company when taking an Uber Black car in SF. I think as long as you don't pressure sell in situations like this, driving people with Uber or whatever app can be a great opportunity to build network and clients. Here in Austin there are a ton of drivers...

    Started New E-Commerce Company Looking For Advice

    MARKETING 
    IMO you're wasting your time trying to sell makeup brushes. Your USP doesn't matter, people just want a nice makeup brush. It's too much of a commodity low priced item to be able to convey value. Instead of going forward with this and burning out your energy + capital, keep working and save...

    When Krave Jerky Showed up in Class with a $435,000 Check

    If the market is only 2.5 bn domestically and they were bought for ~ 200mm on only 35mm of revenue... we must be missing some key information. Is brand equity really worth that much for Krave to expand into other categories like protein / meat bars and things like that? Anyway seems like good...

    Scaling my fitness infoproduct biz to $30k/month by June 2015

    EXECUTION 
    Awesome job man. Making money in the fitness and health niche can be tough! I would recommend testing that front end product at a significantly higher price point. Maybe $150 or closer to that. Why up the price? With health and fitness e-books you're solving a problem for the customer. Due...

    MEETUPS 
    We're in a retail chain (Hi-Health) in Scottsdale so this trip is absolutely perfect for me. I'll get there early and spend a few day in meetings before learning how to dominate the interwebz from Fastlaners. Quick question for those familiar with the area: Any recommendations for resorts...

    What was your biggest business and life lesson in 2014?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Biggest lesson: If you're not continuously setting bigger and bigger goals, you will get stagnate. Ultimately what drives me as an entrepreneur is accomplishing things others said were impossible. My approach is no different than a pro athlete's except the sweat is usually in front of my...

    Sustaining Great Energy Levels?

    HOT! 
    Diet wise I am paleo-ish with an emphasis on healthy fats, fresh vegetables and tons of cold filtered water. I like the #JERF mantra which is just eat real food. I also tend to avoid gluten, which can have a significant impact on your energy levels. Day to day: Wake up and take 2 CILTEP / 1...
