    Is it possible for very rich people to hang out with poor/working class people?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    "That is the fastest way you can build relationship with a niche of rich people." - I think it depends on what sort of 'rich people' we're talking about, and the culture in question. Getting to hang out with a self-made person might be one thing but would they have 'wealth' at the level the OP...

    Q about Value Arbitrage in Unscripted

    MINDSET 
    Thank you for that link. Very interesting. If I've read correctly, @doitman is saying that the sites/blogs he bought did already have okay traffic, but the owners just couldn't be bothered anymore. That makes sense as that was the bit I was a little confused about - why would you buy a zombie...

    60/40 internal/external. But then I’m ambivalent about ghosts, fate, and superstition :)

    It's possible but unlikely. What will you have in common with each other?

    Q about Value Arbitrage in Unscripted

    MINDSET 
    Apologies if I'm being a bit slow here but in Unscripted, (p.271 of my Kindle copy) MJ talks about, '... a friend who buys poorly marketed and designed websites. Once he acquires the sites he retools, redesigns and grows the bottom line. Then he sells them off for profit.' Can someone please...

    An Excel Course?

    HOT! EXECUTION 
    "Sooo... is anyone currently considering purchasing an Excel course? - Yes. All the time. If so, what do you hope to get from taking it?" Well, this is the problem - I don't know! I **know** that I'm probably missing out on something brilliant, but I don't know how. I don't know what i'd use...

    How to be good at sales - book rec's, please.

    Definitely some truth in that. I have an acquaintance who’s a fantastic salesman and he’s a lot like that. The sort of person who walks into a pub and in 20 minutes is having conversations with everyone in there.

    Oh wow, I could listen to his voice all day (love his accent!)! Not actually heard his specific sales training stuff though. I will have a look, thanks.

    I downloaded a sample of it after the earlier rec and it’s good so far.

    Hesitant about future plans - Building a SaaS without experience / Buy a business or Invest in Real Estate

    SAAS / APPS 
    Buying property to rent out was almost like a religion here in the UK a few years ago. I never bothered because, in no particular order: The transaction costs of buying and ultimately selling the thing are very high (may be different in the US). You are tying up all of your money. You can't...

    How to be good at sales - book rec's, please.

    Basically negotiating the price I hope to be charging for the biz I want to go live with (digital marketing and web development) in a couple of months. In my role at the moment (coaching/teaching) I charge by the hour. There's no negotiating as the client knows that they're going to have an...

    "Go on a lot of dates. Anyone who's a good salesperson is good with the opposite sex." - I think my husband might raise an eyebrow if I did that! I take your point though. "The secret is to be adequate at sales and be exceptional at getting in front of a lot of people." - hadn't thought of it...

    How to be good at sales - book rec's, please.

    Can anyone recommend a good 'learn to do sales' type book? Already read Jordan Belfort's. I'm pretty bad at sales and really need to work on this. Thanks :)

    Can coaching be fastlane?

    INTRO 
    My job is coaching based and no, it's not fastlane. Very simply, if you're good at it then it's YOU that your clients will want to deal with. You can't delegate it so you're always exchanging time for money. That's one reason why I want to change direction. I've been doing it for 2 years and I...

    Where to find good VA for web dev?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Put it this way, I worked as a VA a few years ago when I was picking up digital marketing experience. Since then I have learnt how to build websites and - guess what - I charge a heck of a lot more than I did when I was writing blogs and doing social posts. (Not an advert btw, I'm not looking...

    Where to find good VA for web dev?

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    With all respect, a VA - to my mind - is not someone whom I would expect to be able to build websites. You need a front-end developer for that. A VA is someone who can: organise your emails, make calls, organise your schedule, do your admin, and post your Ebay packages. Some will have specialist...
