    Location-independent/digital nomad lifestyle - ask me anything

    OFF-TOPIC 
    100% this. I think the difference between a "digital nomad" and an "entrepreneur" is that the entrepreneur will do whatever it takes for his business - even if that means living somewhere you don't want to live (for now), or putting off travel/fun/etc. to focus on your business...

    Location-independent/digital nomad lifestyle - ask me anything

    OFF-TOPIC 
    https://dcbkk.com - all of the info is there. Like others have mentioned, some of the "digital nomads" are what I call "coconut cowboys" - guys living in Asia on $700 a month because it's a cheap, easy lifestyle. This is what drives me away from places like Chiang Mai (although it's not a bad...

    Location-independent/digital nomad lifestyle - ask me anything

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I sell physical products. I have plenty of friends who travel the world and sell physical products, some even on this forum. What you have is a self limiting belief. There are plenty of third party shippers, 3PLs, warehouses, Amazon fulfillment, etc. that will happily fulfill your product...

    Location-independent/digital nomad lifestyle - ask me anything

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I have an online business (duh). Some people do freelancing, remote work for their jobs, etc. Before I quit my job years ago I negotiated with my boss to not be in the office any more. A friend of mine gave me the travel bug and convinced me to go on a 3 month Thailand and Bali trip. Since...

    What laptop should a starting online entrepreneur buy?

    HOT! 
    The best one you can afford if it's your only computer. At a $1k budget buying apple won't get you very far unless you buy used. I buy a laptop about very 2-2.5 years, in fact I just bought a new one (15" MacBook Pro but it was 3x your budget). I travel a lot and need my laptop to be 100%...

    Jason's How to Build Wealth & Golden Nuggets

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Hahaha. So much this... Look, calculating L.C.V., alone, is tremendously difficult. I couldn't imagine doing it with lifetime profit. Make sure your margins work first, before you ever launch a product / business. Don't just throw something up and hope it works.

    Jason's How to Build Wealth & Golden Nuggets

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    It can be applied to any business. What else are your customers interested in? They can always be upsold - and if you aren't upselling you are LOSING money. Info products can be sold as an upsell to physical goods, or a physical good in addition to a physical good, etc. Have you seen Amazon...

    Gold Card, Black Card, and Titanium Card. Anyone have these?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Getting a credit card for the "prestige" of it, in my opinion, is bullshit. You're also going need to spend in the six figures to get an Amex black card. I don't think the benefits of the card are worth it, compared to the fees. A credit card is not "fastlane" - they are merely tools. Tools, if...

    Have an Online Business and want to live in Paradise? Come join me in Bali

    MEETUPS 
    Well, had a change of plans. Long story short, I just found out I have some health issues I need to take care of ASAP. Booked a quick flight back home. Unfortunately, I have to postpone the Bali trip. However, as soon as I have got my health squared away, hopefully 2-3 months, I'll be back on...

    Have an Online Business and want to live in Paradise? Come join me in Bali

    MEETUPS 
    So you have an online business and want to live in Paradise? Come join me in Bali for 3-6 months of business building, surfing, and fun in Bali's beast season. I'm sourcing some products in Asia, so I've got to base myself here for several months - and I thought why not do it in Paradise...

    Mindset to have about dating while building a business ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    It's funny, I was just having this discussion with a friend of mine. It's very difficult to find women who can match our level of drive, self-development - and being able to do what I do - namely - building businesses and traveling the world. It's even harder when I'm in countries where the...

    Mindset to have about dating while building a business ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I've found the opposite. When you "blaze your own" path and don't conform to society, it typically alienates you from most people. It can be very difficult to deviate from the status quo - from the white picket fence, grand marriage, two kids, mortgage etc. that is the typical "American Dream."...

    Mindset to have about dating while building a business ?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I think SteveO's posts here offer some good advice in a midst of mostly bad advice. Lean on your friends for "business support" - that's why you have MALE friends and companionship. For those saying that "chics dig fastlane" guys is code word for girls like guys with money. While, that is in...

    I am a scared little Sh!%

    MINDSET RANT 
    I love this quote and think of it when I'm afraid to do something. We were all scared when we first started. I have discovered that the difference between successful and unsuccessful people is not IQ or intelligence, it's boldness - highly successful people are BOLD. There are many poor people...

    Conversion Rate Tool for Adwords

    MARKETING 
    Hmm. Interesting. I can do this math myself, and the conversion rate is a giant assumption. But the tool is neat. So here's my dilemma. What if I'm selling an ecommerce product to the entire USA? There is no option for that. I tried typing in USA and got nothing. Left it blank and got nothing...

    23 and quitting corporate to focus on company

    INTRO 
    I was thinking the exact same thing. Congrats on starting your import business. I'm launching several new products and I realized the fastest way to get going is to have my boots on the ground in China. If it takes me two months in China, I'll do it. Most people are sitting on their desk...

    Selling my Ecommerce Business

    GOLD! 
    I recently successfully exited my ecommerce business one month ago. It was a long process, and I hit similar snags with you with accounting. I had to fire my bookkeepers and create the P&Ls myself. Long story short, I got it done and had a deal about 30 days after listing. If you need any help...

    My first foray into the jungle of Ecommerce.

    SOCIAL MEDIA EXECUTION 
    What sort of marketing experience do you have, exactly? That's great that people seem to love the product, but that doesn't matter if you can't sell it. I won't sell anything under $20 on Amazon. It's just not worth the time and hassle to make tiny profits. Same with paid advertising, you...

    If You Were A Moderator

    HOT! 
    I'd love to see a special gated section for people doing at least $1m/year in revenue in their ecom/store/business/portfolio that had an application with any sort of vetting process. The $1m/year threshold is arbitrary - perhaps it could be $500k/600k.
