    The Sales Process I Use To Sell High Priced Goods and Services

    Thank you! I’m working on a higher priced sale right now. I’ve got to work on resolving pain (and marketing expertise) much much better.

    Rest In Peace. David Koch.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    My career is working with rich kids. That’s why my quoted text notes that it is probably harder having the success he did from his background than coming from nothing. If my comments discredit the personal achievements of David and Charles then I’ve either misspoken or you’ve misread...

    Rest In Peace. David Koch.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Financially successful (almost beyond comprehension) through the incredible ecosystem and strong values instilled by their family. These are Charles’ words, but it’s obvious to anyone that comes from privilege that you have a leg up in life. The Kochs know they aren’t self-made. In fact, coming...

    Rest In Peace. David Koch.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Not self-made whatsoever, not to take away from the success. If he wasn’t G2 he was G3 or G4 wealth, not G1

    Rule One Investing - Opportunities In Coming Recession

    INVESTING 
    Maybe I’m once shy twice burned but even great companies can turn to dust. Ten years is a long time to maintain a competitive advantage, some great companies turn that into fifty years of success and some don’t. I’m not sure how to identify which ones can and can’t. But maybe that’s part of the...

    Is this crazy or a good idea?

    IDEA 
    It’s less scalable but I think you have to build in direct accountability. Addiction recovery without ongoing support is just too lonely. Ensuring people have “real world” accountability is the key to your scale IMO. Figuring out how to get people in the same city to get together and support...

    AMA: Email Marketing, How To, Best Practices

    MARKETING 
    @AllenCrawley thanks v much for this thread. I’d love to embed video into emails in the near future. I had my VA try to find some good tech. It seems like private YouTube is the go-to. I don’t like pushing over to YouTube for privacy reasons. Do you use video at all?

    Quantum Valley: the Silicon Valley of The North

    PEOPLE 
    Yeah... picked it for the party in part... no doubt part of my delayed journey to adulthood. Jason sold me the house I owned while in school. We have stayed in touch. I’m not out that way much at all anymore but will keep it in mind if I am!

    Quantum Valley: the Silicon Valley of The North

    PEOPLE 
    I did my joint business/law degree at Ivey/Western so I was there 6 years! I have particular interest in tech being the industry that saves our country while energy falls off a cliff. Jason Sims is a realtor and property owner in London that I highly recommend meeting. He knows the city very...

    Lifetime passive income: The Paycheck Pot In Action

    GOLD! HOT! INVESTING 
    I would try to add real estate, infrastructure, municipal bonds and private credit to try to diversify a little bit more than by “industry” which can sometimes be misleading as a mechanism of diversification.

    I’m 34 years old, and I’ve been living with my parents for the past two years.

    INTRO 
    “Intrapreneurship” is the process of finding needs needing satisfying within an existing business. Maybe the fam business is constantly seeing other needs being unfulfilled, but it isn’t designed to fill those needs. What pain points do your existing clients have. What keeps them up at...

    Canada Pot Stocks

    INVESTING 
    The real winners in trends like pot stocks are the private equity and club investors that get pre-IPO access. If you like the wild upside, I would recommend trading the illiquidity for total returns, and finding a way into those “clubs”. ... pot stocks were my most glaring example of this. I...

    Seeking offshore income advice

    I’m out of the tax game. Slowlane... in LA... during rush hour. Happy to provide some advice, that is not formal legal advice of course. If you need help finding the right advice when the time comes, reach out. Panama has worked well for individuals that just want a super low cost lifestyle...

    Seeking offshore income advice

    You’ll quickly learn that tax advice is worth paying up for... I was a tax lawyer for 13 years and it pains me to think that you might make these calls without prudent tax advice. Since I’m clearly not retained, this is not tax advice and cannot be relied upon. You should not be both a...

    Build a $1.2MM company at 18 y/o. AMA!

    INTRO 
    Alex I’m concerned that literally any IP loaded to the google universe I have no ownership nor domain over. Maybe that’s obvious and I’m naive. For example, when I attach a YouTube link in an email from a private server, does google now have my contact’s information? And assuming this is...

    Man's Search for Meaning, by Viktor Frankl

    HOT! 
    I’m Jewish and I have to admit, the first half probably did not slam me with insight in part because I’ve studied the holocaust, witnessed it, recounted it with survivors, etc. I feel the point of logotherapy and finding meaning is not for happiness or contentment. It is for fulfillment...

    At what age did you start to get your shit together?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I got my shit together after: 1) mastering a skill, and hating the business application of that skill 2) gambling all my savings on a high risk startup with multiple co-founders and lots of conflict, then finally 3) finding enough self-awareness to find the right balance of risk and reward...

    REAL resources on self image and self belief

    NOTABLE! 
    I’ve had a tough time with mental resiliency and growing/changing. Meditation has absolutely helped. Sam Harris Waking Up App is the first meditation app that actually worked for me. I don’t think I would have historically had sufficient self-love to advise on this chain , but a remarkable...
