    ways to keep your bank in a divorce

    PEOPLE 
    Are you getting married/divorced? If not, you're probably jumping the gun. My solution...just don't get married. Marriage used to be a RELIGIOUS institution that the government has perverted. I am happy to be in a monogamous relationship, long term, but one of my stipulations is that we won't...

    What am I doing wrong with my clothing brand?

    Do you want to see something that takes a bit more effort to sell and that may actually work? I was just targeted with this ad (see the attachment). I was JUST in Budapest, and am an American. Someone had created this t-shirt, clearly spent time making a nice design, and got very narrow in...

    POWERFUL, untapped selling tactic

    If you have to flash screenshots of your earnings or tell people your gross sales to prove your rich, then you're probably not very rich...

    What am I doing wrong with my clothing brand?

    From your post it's clear you have no idea what you're doing. Kanye can sell dog poop stitched on a shitty shirt because he has THOUSANDS of fans that will buy literally anything he puts out. You don't. Your t-shirt looks like you spent less than an hour on the "design" - and I see 0...

    Take Your Computer Security Seriously! YOU Are At Risk!

    GOLD! 
    @The-J - this is a well timed post. Thank you. I take computer security very seriously, especially since I am constantly traveling, but I probably don't do enough. I use 1Password for all of my passwords, and have strong passwords on all of my financial and business accounts. I use a VPN...

    Getting Started - Ready, Fire, Aim: Stage 1 (0-$1M)

    HOT! 
    I don't think what MJ is saying in his book is to ONLY pursue new products that are super innovative or that don't exist. What he IS saying is you need to provide a GOOD product that does deliver value. Even if thousands are selling similar products. At the Fastlane Summit in '15 MJ talks about...

    From making 1k/day to 10k in debt

    I thought this ad was a bit ironic... My first thought is get a job so you have an income source to pay your bills. Pour the rest of your time, money and focus into your "fastlane" pursuit (business, RE, whatever it is). It's really REALLY hard to scale and grow a business without access to...

    Expanding to my own website. Have Traffic but no sales!

    EXECUTION 
    The data is never meaningless. You are paying for the data - even if its weeding out people who don't buy. I would budget at least $2k-5k to really figure out what works. Do you know your demographics? Are you sending them to a well-optimized landing page or "pre-sell" page? Does your copy...

    Burn the Ships - what are you experiences ?

    MINDSET 
    I quit when I had more than enough money to sustain my lifestyle from my business. I should have quit sooner. I would quit sooner, once I had a product/service that was making money that looked promising. Now I live by this rule, no matter what investment I make: have at LEAST 6 months of...

    Success eludes those that look for it?

    What do you think your chances are at building wealth if you are passive about it, hoping a great idea just falls on you, versus actively pursuing your road to wealth with relentless perseverance? Stories like this always omit the PROCESS it takes from having an "accidental" product to creating...

    Do you want to do it the EASY way, or the HARD way?

    GOLD! MINDSET 
    Amazon is coming down hard on fake reviews. They aren't necessarily removing them, but they are giving very little weight to reviews to products purchased for a fraction of the price of the product. They know shitty products and review manipulation hurts their marketplace, and I'm glad they are...

    Thinking of buying an ecommerce business. Any tips?

    HOT! 
    There are many people buying and selling these businesses. I'm actually in the process of preparing my business for sale (we're at about the $1m run rate). I was thinking about posting a thread about the process and insight on why I'm selling on the inside, but not sure how valuable it would be...

    $500,000+ revenue on Shopify!

    NOTABLE! 
    What's stopping you from increasing your sales? In your post, you make it sound like you have everything figured out, and have opened new stores, however your sales have been falling for the last several months. Also, a 40%+ net margin sounds otherworldly, particularly for a drop shipping...

    Question on "Awaken the Giant Within" - Tony Robbins

    BOOKS 
    Poor example? That's a perfect example. "Damn that could never be me" is a HUGE disempowering / limiting belief. When I saw those people, I would say, look it's possible. HOW do I get there?

    Work life balance myth.

    MINDSET 
    I agree with very little work/life balance. But I disagree on the sense of sacrifice. I'm half way through Elon Musk's biography, and while he may not use the word sacrifice, the man has absolutely sacrificed IMMENSELY to achieve the things that he has done in his life. I have a counterpoint...

    Buying Traffic

    Dude, I hate to break it to you, but you are so lost you don't even know it. Either start reverse engineering someone's process who is selling the similar things as you, or start consuming EVERYTHING you can on paid traffic. The resources are out there. Udemy. The internet. Hundreds of...

    Buying Traffic

    What reasons would you want to drive traffic towards YouTube? Done properly, YouTube is a traffic SOURCE. If you're asking these sorts of questions, you need to do tons of reading and research. It's not simple and it's not easy. If you search paid traffic on the forum, or even go through my...

    I skipped work today

    RANT 
    Your response is very immature, and illustrates a lack of responsibility. The fact that other people here are congratulating you concerns me. Here's the hard truth. NO ONE CARES that you didn't want to go work. Millions of people feel the same way. WHY are you different? Why should we care that...
