    Developing a Health Supplement Business - Progress Thread

    EXECUTION 
    All of you are trying to launch a supplement without actually doing the research or understanding the market. Go to the customers first and see what they want and how you can offer it. You're not going to enter a competitive market, ramp up some adwords campaigns and expect to cash in big...

    Love and Entrepreneurship - Can it work?

    PEOPLE 
    If your partner doesn't understand the challenges you face as an entrepreneur, a relationship will be very difficult to deal with. It's tough enough running a successful business, couple that with the challenges any relationship faces and you have the perfect mix for disaster. Worse if you have...

    Creating my first blog.... stuck with theme choice, HELP!!!

    MARKETING 
    You should forget about the theme. You can get away with a shitty design and great content. You cannot get away with a great design and shitty content. Start writing and don't stop. Get to 100 articles and a full year before worrying about the design. You need to learn how to blog, how to rank...

    Is education worth it for Entrepreneurs?

    Education that's also experience is a good thing. Most college education provides zero experience. You will most likely learn more during an internship at a startup or by shadowing a high powered sales agent for a few months, than you ever would during the class room. On the flipside if you...

    Building a Relationship with a Mentor

    PEOPLE 
    I worked as the #1 of a startup that eventually became a multi-million dollar operation and appeared on the Shark Tank. My boss is now my mentor at my current company. There is nothing that compares to having someone experienced with you in your corner, but you have to go to war for them first...

    I've been able to generate a lot of opportunities through it. My biggest recommendation however would be to start a podcast.

There are a lot of things in the works with this company and I think that we can make it a multi-million dollar venture. It's going to take a lot of work, but that's something that I'm not...

    So happy to see this here... applying it immediately to my new business. A lot of times websites like Amazon or Plentyoffish get disregarded when really they are huge traffic sources.

    We researched significantly, but were lucky to bring aboard the stack's creator who modified our original formula. The guy is a freaking GENIUS (not understating that at all) and we will be helping him share his knowledge with the world. Dietary supplements do not require FDA approval, but all...

    What we've found from this industry and just like any others is that no two suppliers are the same and you have to constantly negotiate to find the best deal possible. Launching with two products may have given us a little bit of leeway, but my business partner was able to constantly put us in...

    I have not noticed any side effects and typically use the stack 4-5 days per week. I'll use it everyday if it's absolutely necessary, but no I don't think its mandatory. After using adderall a lot during college, it became impossible to study without it. Part of my desire to get away from...

    Are You Profiting off the BITCOIN wave?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    We are strongly considering making a play on Bitcoin with our e-commerce business in the smart drug space that we just launched. It might come a little after we establish some more credibility, but I LOVE the fact that you can pickup press just because you take bitcoin. The coinbase zero...

    We have only done a minimal amount of adwords spend + re-targeting. Still working through the numbers as well as LVOC. We'll see what happens as we try more things going forward.

    We did a podcast and some other small advertising on forums. Not a lot of paid stuff. I have been taking CILTEP for over three months and would say it's very different than Modafinil or Adderall. It's more like mental clarity and focus, there's no excess energy. It puts you in the state to work.

    We provided something that the market needed. We were constantly in the forums and everything before, so we saw an opportunity and moved quick on it. The product came out a little bit later than expected, but the delays have all lead to big partnerships and developments which have put us in this...

    The product had been discussed about in multiple forums and podcasts. We just put it all together into one easy pill for people to take. We formulated the stack based off of existing research, but it was upgraded with Abelard Lindsay's research. All of the information is available online and...
