    Steps in getting a product designed and manufactured

    I just sat down and made a list of local suppliers to call. Ive made it through a few so far and their main concern seem to be order size. So im taking down the email addresses of the sales guys and sending them my specs. Something they all ask is if im a business. I keep it honest and...

    How I turned $20 into $8,500+ in 2 months

    WEB/DIGITAL 
    dont pay too much attention to those Youtube channels. Honestly...a lot of those guys are delinquents....and the info they give out isnt that great. You can learn the basics from them...but thats about it. The whole thriftstore/retail flipping is a huge hustle for information people now...

    Amazon Proven Course - opinions

    He had it for free on his site for awhile...so I looked at it. IMO its pretty low level stuff. Going in stores, scanning items to see what is profitable. Nothing difficult or earth shattering. Youll learn more just reading threads on here.

    Thoughts on Cars (subtitle... why you should not buy a Lamborghini)

    NOTABLE! MINDSET 
    im not a car guy...so when looking to buy a car earlier this year I specifically looked for something used that was really popular w/ small business/entrepreneur types. Found out that the first generation Scion xB's were/are really popular with that group. Tad bit ugly, but great mileage...

    BOOKS 
    right now im reading: When I Stop Talking, You'll Know I'm Dead: Useful Stories from a Persuasive Man by Jerry Weintraub I started reading biographies of people who have made a mark. I think the internet crowd gets too stuck on the latest thing, and forgets that there are industry monsters...

    Dealing with lonliness

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Whatever you do, make sure the people you hang out w/ arent just "filler friends"...people who you keep around just because you are lonely. They will add nothing to your life. In the past two years ive changed a lot, I dont even like being around the people I used to hang around. So I stay...

    GOLD! REAL ESTATE 
    Excellent post. Ive been playing with this idea for a few months now...and OP laid it out. I was looking at apartments to rent (just to live in) and talking to one guy changed my perspective. He was on his 2nd or 3rd building at the time. I went home and looked up how much he paid and...

    Good first purchase?

    REAL ESTATE 
    Huh? You dont remember things 10+ yrs ago? Prices are lower now then they were in the early 00's. IMO owning seems like a game for people that need a place to put their money (and dont expect a quick come up)...otherwise, put your money into a business for a faster return. The problem w/...

    Selling DISNEY products?

    The Frozen train has slowed down a little. From the time the movie came out, to about 2 months ago you could walk into Target, but a frozen doll for $20 and sell it for $60 super fast. It was a good hustle...I made a few K's doing it. Stay away from the fakes though...it got so bad that even...

    How To Bootstrap $100 A Day With No Car?

    How large is the area you need to cover? My only means of transportation for about 7yrs was a bicycle. I bought my first car about 6 months ago. But I would imagine Chicago is much more bicycle friendly than LA.
