    Dealing With Customers Pissed Off Over Delayed Shipments?

    PEOPLE 
    If you're really looking to build a long term and profitable business, buy the stock and don't dropship. By dropshipping you're eliminating any chance of repeat customers for the most part. Decreasing the lifetime value of a customer like that hurts.

    What book are you reading? Right now. Post up!

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    I stopped reading books for the most part. Instead of reading, you could be building your business. You'll learn much more by doing than by reading.

    Publishing a book using a launch company… to ensure it'll be a true hit.

    EXECUTION 
    Just curious, how much are you actually making per sale? I know publishing houses take MASSIVE cuts. That's the one reason self publishing has always looked more attractive to me.

    Business ideas for teenage entrepreneurs

    IDEA 
    I'd say try freelancing (copywriting?) to get some capital. But also learn copywriting, it's an invaluable skill. Then maybe look into launching a dropshipping or FBA site. Maybe flip sites. By now you'll have decent capital and you're at a young age. Launch a startup?

    GOLD! REAL ESTATE 
    Instead of doing this method, does anyone have experience with private money lenders to buy rental properties? Then pay back the loan with the rental income.

    money vs morality

    MINDSET 
    Morality wins every time. As Gary Vaynerchuk says, "it's not about how much you make, it's about how you make your money." Build a lasting legacy your family would be proud of.

    Anxiety From Entrepreneurship?

    HEALTH 
    Thank you both guys! I think this part of entrepreneurship is generally looked over, that's for certain. You both have changed my perspective and I'm extremely grateful for that!

    Anxiety From Entrepreneurship?

    HEALTH 
    This was awesome, thank you. Failure above all else. I've failed before and I hustle daily and work my a$$ off and still fail. It just feels like the walls are closing in around me. It's difficult to explain.

    Anxiety From Entrepreneurship?

    HEALTH 
    Anyone else have this? Lately I've had severe anxiety all due to entrepreneurship and stressing about it all. I've never really had this, but it's gotten really bad lately.

    Copywriter from Boise, Idaho ... is this place awesome or what?

    INTRO 
    I recommend trying to build an online business as a side hustle to your copywriting career. At least that's what I'd do. Yes, copywriting can be lucrative but what happens when you go through a rough patch and can't get enough work for your cost of livings? What if something happens medically...

    Is this is even MORAL? Creating a brand and a story.

    MARKETING 
    Honestly, so many new companies do it it's ridiculous. I wouldn't worry about it; business is business.

    What the hell is even happening? Pretty clear you haven't. OP, you seem to have it sorted out. Just remember communication is always key.

    Is Handwriting Direct Sales Letters Worth It?

    MARKETING 
    Hmm. Interesting. Another idea I had was attach say a $20 bill to the top of the letter and say something along the lines of "yes, this is a real $20 bill. There will be a lot more where that came from." I believe that'll certainly get their attention.

    Is Handwriting Direct Sales Letters Worth It?

    MARKETING 
    The average lifetime value of a customer in my field is around $80,000. I'd say 12.375 hours is well worth that.

    Is Handwriting Direct Sales Letters Worth It?

    MARKETING 
    I just began, it's my first direct mailing campaign. I think I'm gonna try writing 50 of these tonight and tomorrow and mail them out, then test 50 of just printed letters and see if the time is worth it.
