    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    HOT! INVESTING 
    David, I'd look into if the car will end up being a classic. Some of these cars end up with decent auction value from collectors if it's the right model. If they don't make the car anymore and you have a place to store it for free it might be worth keeping and taking the insurance off it. I...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    HOT! INVESTING 
    For the longest time, I bought used cars, usually cash or with a low car payment. I would drive them into the ground until it started to cost more to repair them then it would go buy a newer car. Then on a trip driving across the country, my car broke down and the clutch went. Lucky I had the...

    One Simple Rule That Will 10x Your Results

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    This is great advice. Its why testing your ads is so important. I tell clients to make three ads and do a small test to see which one does best then pour the rest of the that marketing budget into that ad. I agree the statistics are on your side with the double down method, it's like splitting...

    Elizabeth Warren: Break up Big Tech

    HOT! 
    Although I think breaking up big tech will help spur more innovation by making it easier for startups to play in the social media arena. What will probably happen if they do break up a company like Facebook is it will become more profitable. When they made Standard Oil break up it unlocked...

    What will you accomplish in 2019?

    EXECUTION 
    Having people post their yearly goals what a great idea. Nothing like a little public accountability to light a fire under people. 1. I'll finish my book by July 17th, by finish I mean a solid draft ready for an editor to take a pass at it. 2. I'll launch my business course with download grids...

    Conflicting Advice For Newbies Getting Clients

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    I agree with Lex DeVille. NEVER lie to your clients you can't buy back the trust at any cost. Be honest, tell them you are new to this line of work but present what qualifications you do have that can help them. Like I'm new to the whole business consulting thing but I have been running...

    Ernman, Being a fan of Eco-friendly endeavors I applaud you for your attempt. The big lesson I think people should take from your story is NEVER to trust a government official unless you get it in writing and even then it's a crapshoot. ~ EF

    Yes, mindset is a huge part of the process. And I think all of us have been there where we are doing busy work and not doing the things that need to be done to move the project forward. I'm happy to hear things are going in a better direction. Keep up the progress and know that all the other...
